My 06 Duramax is now at 190k mile and going strong with egr disabled, blocked & chipped. I’m hoping to order a 2020 Denali duramax. Fingers crossed for 500 hp, 1,000 ftlb of Tq. and no piss tank on it.

Good. The regulation is all about forcing Americans into smaller cars. Just like they want us in smaller houses on smaller lots with smaller pets. Less for us means more for the dark occultists at the top.
The powers that be don't care a bit about saving fuel. If they did, they would fix the traffic mess in the big cities (ALL controlled by demonrats), get the illegals off the roads, and implement smart lights (using technology from the 1980s-- no need for big brother stuff that costs millions). Eliminating congestion would easily reduce fuel usage by 30% or more in this country. |

I sure as hell did and I owned that car for a dang long time. I tracked the mileage for way over a decade. Since I used another vehicle as a winter beater, the temps it was driven in were very moderate and not cold weather use which can really drop fuel economy. I lost right around 3 mpg with that car. I was just extrapolating that newer cars that get better fuel economy and the ability to dial back or advance timing better could have even more significant differences. I have a Honda H-RV right now and even though much smaller, it doesn't really do much better then that 1998 Regal did when it comes to fuel economy. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I have a Honda H-RV right now and even though much smaller, it doesn't really do much better then that 1998 Regal did when it comes to fuel economy.  Then your car defies the laws of physics. E10 fuel contains about 2% less energy than E0. For a 30mpg vehicle, I could see you losing MAYBE as much as 1mpg but considering that most E10 gasoline contains UP TO 10% ethanol, some fillups likely have been running on less than E10. E85 contains about 28% less energy than E0. If you could use E85 in that same 30mpg vehicle, I could see losing about 8mpg or so. Many reformulated gasoline mixes used to contain MTBE as an oxygenate. MTBE was replaced with ethanol. 10% MTBE gas has slightly LESS energy than 10% ethanol gas....although not enough to be significant when it comes to mpg. The laws of physics are laws not suggestions. |

Hopefully we'll see a resurgence of body on frame SUVs. If they rescind the 2025 standards, liberal groups like Sierra Club are going to sue, and it will be tied up in court for years. It's not going to be easy. |
