Hey we were wondering if anyone else was having problems with gas mileage on Chevy Silverado's. It is a 2005, V8, 2 WD, has only 3200 miles runs fine except we noticed when you go to brake it sounds like the engine is wanting to race. Have had it to the dealer and when they hooked it up to monitor could see the engine wanting to step up, but said it was fine. I am doing this question for my folks. They ( well my dad anyway) does not drive hard, they don't go over interstate speed limit (which is 65), it is driven mostly in town, but have had it out on vacation towing their small trailer, and it ran fine, just stinks on mileage. My dad has had trucks all his life and hasn't had this problem. Of course with gas prices as bad as they are right now, they want to get it fixed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
