Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 315-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic RWD	I have the 1500 ext cab 2wd model that includes the 5.3 l v-8 with management. The truck gets 26 mpg on the highway! The average for the truck with over 6000 miles city/highway is now 20.6! see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review
2007	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 315-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	For full size truck with V8 I get 17-18 mpg in mixed driving. see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review
2007	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 315-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Best in its class see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review
2006	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 295-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	With the specific gears I have in my truck, I get 20+ MPG on the highway...and I have a crew cab truck. City mileage is right in-line with the EPA of 14, but it is no worse than the others. see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review
2006	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 295-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic RWD	Good for a pickup truck. see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review
2006	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 295-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic RWD	The 5.3L gets an impressive 20mpg on the freeway and with a tonneau, about 21. Mixed driving is about 15-17mpg and purely city driving nets between 14-16mpg. Towing economy is not bad at about 12-13mpg with a light load and 9-11mpg with a heavy load. see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review

2007	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 315-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Highway mileage could be beter. see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review
2004	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 295-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Granted this is a truck but I did not like the fact that I was getting 14 mpg when the price of fuel was skyrocketing. This was never a good choice for fuel mileage. see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review

2010	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 390-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	The milleage was terrible , my friend made the same trip as I did with a similar equiped Ford 5.4 L , 4x4 and used 30 % less gas. I rented this truck for a 2 week hunting trip to test it befor buying a new one. I will buy another Ford or GMC. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
2008	4dr Crew Cab 6.5ft bed 345-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed automatic RWD	That hemi drinks fuel... we live at 55-60 while towing and 10mpg is all we hope for... we get that on the flats with no headwind. If you get a hill with a headwind you are looking at 4mpg! Buyer beware! fuel is approaching 5 bucks! see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
2005	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 345-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed automatic RWD	13 to 15 mpg in town about 17 mpg on the road. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
2004	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 345-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Poor fuel economy see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
2003	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 345-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed automatic RWD	Not much I don't like about this truck, but MPG with a Hemi combined with heavy loads means 12-13 mpg consistently. Not sure newer trucks would do any better with my 1000 lb load in the back. Highway mileage is only 16-17 at best. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
2003	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 240-horsepower 4.7L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I should have bought the Hemi 5.7L engine. The 4.7 is awful...gutless and I get about 13 mpg in a rural setting and can get about 15 in the highway. I drive very conservatively. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
2002	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 240-horsepower 4.7L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I average 12 mpg with just me in the cab. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
