    What are you running for fuel? When I first bought my 2016 I ran a tank of 87 in it and got mid teens then i switched to 91 non-ethanol and now i consistently get 25 ish driving in the adirondacks of New York.

    new owner here as well. My truck will downshift just going over an overpass on a normal daily drive. I believe they do this to hit MPG standards. I don't worry about it or care at all. Just the way the truck and tranny is programmed. it wont change from factory. They want the MPG numbers. You can run S4 all the time and it wont happen. But then you'll complain about the MPG most likely. long story short, y'all a bunch of complainers.
