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

2010	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 315-horsepower 5.3L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Much worse than my last truck( 2005 Sileverado) In town 10 to 13 Road at speed limit 19-20 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
2004	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 345-horsepower 6.0L V8 4-speed automatic AWD	Big engine sucks gas - 8mpg on tests see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review

2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Better than 30 mpg on long trips, even with 75+mph average speeds as reported by the onboard computer. Fantastic given the performance available. see full Saab 9-3 review
2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 180hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD	4.7 litres per 100 km is a great mileage! see full Saab 9-3 review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Very good considering the power. I average 32mpg doing mostly highway. I cruise at 75mph and like to rev the engine in the city. see full Saab 9-3 review
2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Lots of variations on fuel economy as you can read. Driving style will make a big difference, using a lot of engine power uses gas, no way around that. Try to cruise between 1800-2300rpm, it gives good results. Cars have improved a lot in the last years, no way a 7 year old design can match a 2015 model. But It comes close! see full Saab 9-3 review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	I have been a tad disappointed in my newest car's fuel economy. My tuned to 340 hp 1995 Saab 900 SE was getting 29 mpg in mixed city/highway driving. Currently I am driving 75% city and suburban surface streets and the rest highway. This must explain my rather pedestrian 23 mpg current average. I did get 33 mpg on a fast long road haul to the east coast. see full Saab 9-3 review
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	the frugal diesel engine is cheaper to run & better for the environment see full Saab 9-3 review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Over 30 mpg highway if you set the cruise to the speed limit. see full Saab 9-3 review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	25 to 30 mpg on regular gas, depending on how many highway miles per tank. This is my first car that takes regular in more than ten years, at least $0.20 a gallon cheaper than premium. see full Saab 9-3 review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Amazing fuel economy for such a powerful engine. see full Saab 9-3 review
