What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500

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

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	2dr Coupe 155-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Around town it's not great, but out on the open road mileage almost doubles. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2009	2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The fuel economy is very good considering the performance available. I typically get better than 25MPG with a fair bit of city driving and fairly heavy throttle. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
