Chevrolet’s Silverado is not only the second-best selling truck in America, it’s the second-best selling vehicle, overall. With over 630,000 sold in 2006, Silverado sales were only exceeded by Ford’s ever-popular F-series pickup trucks. Due to the massive numbers sold, the Silverado’s gas mileage figures have a considerable impact on the nation’s rate of gasoline consumption. A 25- or 30-percent rise in the Silverado’s MPG average would have significantly positive implications.
While a nice jump in the Silverado’s gas mileage is coming, it’s still years away.
Silverado Engine Options
Chevrolet currently offers a slew of engine options in the half-ton Silverado 1500 range. The most fuel efficient choices is a 4.6 liter six cylinder that, when coupled with a five-speed manual transmission, delivers 15 city/21 highway miles per gallon in the 2WD version.
- Vortec 4.3 liter V6
- Vortec 4.8 liter V8
- Vortec 5.3 liter V8 (iron-block, Active Fuel Management, with or without FlexFuel)
- Vortec 5.3 liter V8 (aluminum-block, Active Fuel Management, with or without FlexFuel)
- Vortec MAX 6.0 liter V8 (Active Fuel Mangement)
Although Chevy offers diesel engine options for the Silverado, the diesels are only available in the 2500 and 3500 range trucks. The 2500 and 3500 come standard with the Vortec 6.0 liter V8, with the Duramax Diesel 6.6 liter turbo V8 available as an option. Chevrolet does not publish official mileage figures for the Duramax diesels, which are produced by a joint venture between GM and Isuzu.
A new fuel-efficient 4.5 liter, V-8 Duramax diesel engine is on the way for the Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra pickup and Hummer H2, but the smaller more efficient engines will likely not find their way under the hood until 2010.

What can I expect for gas milage on a 6.6 diesel non-dualy, crew cab, unloaded? (no towing or hauling)
201 miles yesterday unloaded 14.8 gal, I haven’t got 14 miles to a gal yet love the truck; the people saying they are getting 20, 25, 30 r just full of it.
2007 5.3 worst mileage on highway of any 5.3 I have owned in last 4 years 13 mpg@ 70 mph. If I drive 55 on cruise I get 15mpg. My other 5.3’s always got around 19-21. Also hesitates when applying throttle.
I had a 2001 regular cab, 6 speed manual, 2wd, and I routinely got 22 in highway/country road driving. A bad tank was 18, a good tank was 24.5 (highway, being very easy on the accelerator and keeping it at or below 65). But GM has upped the hp in the newer ones….. however, the fuel economy rewards drivers who do *not* engage the turbo — it’s like driving a racecar when you hear that whirr, but it’s not without a penalty, obviously.
Will someone tell me the mileage of a 4.8 Extended Cab 2WD Auto? Any year all around average not driving you’re in the mobile gas economy run tanks.

2002 Silverado LT, 2WD, 5.3L V8, averages 18-19mpg mixed highway and city driving.
i’m only getting 10 miles to the gallon in my 2008 chev. 3500 dually with a 6.6 unloaded
does anybody know what gas mileage a 03 chev silerado 1500 pickup extended cab short bed would get.
much appeciated..
It’s got a v8 4.8 liter, automatic .
I have a 08 1500 5.3L 2WD and the mileage sucks. I wish I kept my 2000 cummins because I get the same MPG and it was a 1 ton 4WD.
What’s the best gas to use in my 08 Silverado 1500 5.3 V8?
i have a 2007 and 2008 chevy . the 07 has a 5.3 with afm and gets at best 14.2 mpg. My 08 has a 4.3 used for work and im getting a whopping 11 mpg. i’m very dissapointed! i wouldve went with a v-8 if i wouldve known the 4.3 milage was so bad
