I've been remote starting the truck every morning for about 5 minutes before I leave, and the same after work. I've been averaging 10.0 mpg exactly as of tonight.
How long does it stay on with a remote start? 5 mins? 2 Starts??

15 minutes per start? How many starts can you do before needing to put key in, press start? My Avalanche was only 5 minutes, 2'x max. Barely gets warm.

15 minutes per start and like Ramlax said I believe its two starts. Push button start.

Here is mine. No remote starts and the mpg you see is only .2 heavy vs actual.

I live in Texas and keep my truck in the garage so never have to warm it up in the mornings!

This is one of the reasons I love my stop/start. So many hours spent burning fuel and going nowhere for most.
I love when it when I've spent a few minutes at a long light and I've burned zero fuel.

Lol no that was after a 400 mile trip. My highway was showing like 26 and dropped when I hit back roads with mild mountains it dropped. I was ginger footing the skinny pedal and no cruise. My normal around town is this
