I drive very cautiously and average over 20mpg. Always in 'D' mode. All else is great, burning 1 qt every 5k so everything seems normal and no lights on the dash at all.
This could be due to bad solenoids on the mechatronics unit.

If your transmission (GA8HP75Z) is anything like the 6HP ZF transmission then replacing the solenoids would be the first step i would do.

Dealers don't replace this, they just replace the whole transmission.
