* Fuel efficiency varies greatly: Factors like driving habits, road conditions, vehicle maintenance, and even tire pressure can significantly impact fuel economy.
* EPA ratings can be a guide: The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) provides fuel economy estimates for vehicles, but these are averages and don't guarantee real-world results.
* Specific model details matter: Even within the same model year, different trim levels, engine options, and transmission types can affect fuel economy.
How to find the MPG for your specific vehicle:
1. Check the EPA website: Go to fueleconomy.gov and use the vehicle lookup tool. Enter the year, make, model, and any relevant options.
2. Consult your owner's manual: The owner's manual for your 2003 Chevy Astro van AWD should contain estimated fuel economy figures.
3. Use a fuel calculator: There are online tools and apps that allow you to track your fuel consumption and calculate your average MPG based on your driving.
Remember that the Astro van was known for its spaciousness and utility but not for its fuel efficiency.
