Sip instead of guzzle


Tips to help your vehicle sip fuel instead of guzzling it.

 

TIP #01 Maintain a constant speed
Speeding and rapid acceleration uses more gas. Use cruise control to help you keep your speed in check.

TIP #02 Observe the speed limit
Generally, each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $.20 per gallon for gas.

TIP #03 Combine your errands
Driving when your engine is already warm often uses less fuel. Running your errands at once saves you time commuting.

TIP #04 Choose a more efficient vehicle
Consider a Chevy vehicle that gets an EPA estimated 30 or more highway MPG.

More Tips...

1. Drive Sensibly
Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.

Fuel Economy Benefit: 5 - 33%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $.15 - $.96/gallon

2. Observe the Speed Limit
While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. As a rule of thumb, you can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas. Observing the speed limit is also safer.

Fuel Economy Benefit: 7 - 23%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $.20 - $.67/gallon

3. Remove Excess Weight
Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2%. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.

Fuel Economy Benefit: 1 - 2%/100 lbs.
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $.03 - $.06/gallon

4. Avoid Excessive Idling
Idling gets 0 miles per gallon. Cars with larger engines typically waste more gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines.

5. Use Cruise Control
Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas.

6. Use Overdrive Gears
When you use overdrive gearing, your car's engine speed goes down. This saves gas and reduces engine wear.

Note: Cost savings are based on an assumed fuel price of $2.91/gallon.


 

Fuel economy is just as important to Chevy as it is to you.  Chevy offers a surprising number of vehicles that get better than 30 highway miles per gallon*.

See the table below for a complete Chevy line up.

And it's not just Chevy cars that offer great fuel efficiency.  Chevy Tahoe was awarded Best in Class Fuel Economy.**  And Chevy is proud to offer the first full-size hybrid pick-up truck:  Silverado. 

Fuel efficiency.  It's part of the Chevy total value promise to you.
