TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Chevrolet Trax

Chevrolet Trax Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	The Chevrolet Trax isn't quite the segment's fuel economy champ--that honor goes to the new Honda HR-V--but it's close. EPA ratings are 26 mpg city and 34 mpg highway with front-wheel drive (FWD), and 24/31 with all-wheel drive (AWD). With a CVT instead of a conventional automatic, and with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine rather than a turbocharged 1.4-liter, the Honda manages 28/35 and 27/32, respectively. You can get an engine as small as the Trax's in the Jeep and FIAT, but only paired with a manual transmission (not offered in the Trax). Even with this engine the Jeep's EPA ratings are 24/31 (though with either drivetrain, and so more competitive with AWD). A nine-speed automatic is only available with a non-turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. The additional, taller ratios balance out the larger engine size, for EPA ratings of 22/31 with FWD and 21/29 with AWD. The FIAT 500X fares a little better with the same powertrains. EPA ratings are 25/34 with the 1.4T and manual transmission (not offered with AWD). With the 2.4 and nine-speed automatic transmission the 500X's EPA ratings are 22/31 with FWD and 21/30 with AWD. In my real-world driving, the Trax's trip computer regularly reported numbers much better than its EPA ratings: between 30 and 40 mpg in the suburbs (and most often 36-37), and just over 40 mpg on the highway. It's not hard to see how the Trax's fuel economy can excel in highway driving. Cruising in sixth gear, the small four spins only 2,000 rpm at 60 mph. I observed the best fuel economy numbers with very leisurely acceleration and braking. Push the Trax hard, and the tiny turbo will force as much fuel and air into the cylinders as it can, severely impacting fuel economy in the process. If you want to get impressive mpg averages out of a turbocharged engine, the turbo is been seen as something to be used only when quick acceleration is really needed, not when pulling away from every traffic light. see full Chevrolet Trax review

2020	4dr Minivan, ext. 287-horsepower 3.6L V6 9-speed automatic FWD	Fuel economy on a 2k highway speeds road trip in rain, snow, ice, and finally dry heat averaged over 26.7 mpg. City driving average was >18 mpg. *Note this computaion does not factor in any towing. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2008	4dr SUV 253-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	To be expected but with the rising fuel prices anyone would like to see a little better gas milage see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2007	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	barely a difference between highway and city mileage I average about 19.2 in city and 21.5 on freeway see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I belive we could engineer better fuel economy, or put in a Diesel. Also, Four gears are lacking in a heavy, AWD Vehicle. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	On average I get great mileage in the city 17.5 to 19 mpg. But on the highway I only get 22 unless I stay below 65 then I get 27 see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I wish it were around 25 mpg avarage instead of 20. see full Chrysler Pacifica review

2004	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Very heavy car. Gas mileage is fair. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2004	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	With todays fuel prices, the Pacifca is not for you if you city drive. I get around 14 to 16 in the city and on the highway I get around 19 to 21. Not the best out there on the road, but again weight and underpowered is the main cause. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
