Pete,
I do have the LLY with the 6 speed. Just the last 2 days driving my short distance to work, no towing, I am getting right at 16 mpg. I sold my LMM 2007 partially to get better mileage because I became tired the the regen horrible mileage and the fact that I could not do any real substantive aftermarket mods without getting flashes of check engine messages.
