Outstanding highway fuel economy. City fuel economy could be better but my driving is limited to fairly short distances with mostly stop and go.

In town is only OK...maybe 22-24 MPG. On the highway on level stretches, 42-43 MPG is very common. 16 gallon fuel tank give you plenty of travel range on the highway.

When minded about keeping it mellow on the road acceleration and speed wise, it does deliver a good gas mileage on long hauls.

Unlike other fuel economy surveys, TrueDelta's Real-World Gas Mileage Survey includes questions about how and
where a car was driven. So you can get an idea of the Chevrolet Malibu's
real-world MPG based on how and where you drive a car.
