2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 MPG Rating

Given some of the hefty specs you just read, you may think that the Chevy Silverado 1500 mpg rating is as poor as some of the towing capacity specs are great, but you’d be surprised! Though fuel efficiency differs based on the specific engine, the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 mpg ratings provided by the EPA are generally reasonable for a truck with such capabilities:

2.7L TurboMax™ I4 engine

• Up to 19 city / 22 highway mpg

5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine w/ Dynamic Fuel Management

• Up to 17 city / 21 highway mpg

6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine w/ Dynamic Fuel Management

• Up to 16 city / 20 highway mpg

3.0L Duramax® Turbo Diesel I6 engine

• Up to 24 city, 29 highway mpg

As for fuel tank capacity, that depends on which cab style you choose. Since even the smaller tank available for the Double and Crew Cabs is already 24 gallons, however, you’ll be able to get to and from Cleveland with minimum refueling stops no matter which cab you choose. And if that isn’t enough fuel capacity, you can opt for the Regular Cab which can hold 28.3 gallons!
