Not sure if economy has anything to do with it. At 9 grand, you would have to put on a pile of miles to justify the conversion. Suggest you would have to have another reason to do the conversion.Originally Posted by cowboywildbill

New to the colorado
I have had mine for about two weeks now. its impressive so far. I drive 86 miles one way to work and its averaging 28 MPG. not bad for a 4X4 truck. its a 2016 Z71 Colorado crew cab. I was driving a VW TDI Jetta that got 47 MPG until the wood goat (DEER) couldn't wait to cross the road. I have a 05 LLY Crew cab 4X4 dually that is still my favorite truck. Both are black. I have questions and will be back on later. Looking for transmission upgrades or tunes. and would like to add 33" tires and a really strong deer proof front bumper.

Very Cool to hear Spivey,
We average 27.5 to 28 mpg worst is usually 25 mpg just running around, but almost all of that is in city type driving lots of traffic and lights.
On the highway it gets an honest 32 or more depending on how heavy my foot is.
Glad you are enjoying it.
And the 1/4 mile times are impressive. LOL "Not really" It ain't a race truck but it ain't a slug either.
Wow it's about time I had a fellow Colorado diesel owner on this page. Keep us updated and stay away from them dear.
