6.2L/6.5L Fuel Economy (http://www.thedieselpage.com/features/65fueleconomy.htm)
Cylinder Heads & Ricardo Comet
Part II

The 6.2L diesel engine was introduced during a time when the world energy market sent fuel prices skyrocketing. While it may surprise you, gas & diesel pump prices during the early 1980's were actually higher than they are now - when adjusted for inflation. GM's 6.2L diesel was designed and developed for tight fuel supplies and high pump prices, and we may need to revisit the 6.2/6.5 to help provide a solution to the high fuel costs we're seeing now. The early light-duty 6.2L diesel powered trucks would consistently deliver 22-24 mpg when driven conservatively, while the later light-duty 6.5L turbodiesels produced 5 or more miles per gallon less. Why is that? The answer to that question is what we're investigating this time.
