What gas mileage does a 2002 Chevrolet silverado 1500 4wd with 4.8 liter get?

The EPA estimated gas mileage for a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4WD with the 4.8L engine varies depending on the specific configuration (cab style, bed length, transmission type) and driving conditions. However, you can expect figures generally in the range of:

* City: 13-15 mpg

* Highway: 17-19 mpg

These are estimates. Your actual mileage will likely be lower, influenced by factors like:

* Driving style: Aggressive acceleration and braking significantly reduce fuel economy.

* Terrain: Hill, mountain and off-road driving reduces fuel economy.

* Vehicle condition: Proper maintenance (tire pressure, tune-up) improves mileage.

* Payload and towing: Hauling heavy loads drastically decreases fuel economy.

To find a more precise estimate for your specific truck, you might try searching online for fuel economy data specific to the exact trim level and options. You could also check resources like the EPA's FuelEconomy.gov website (though older vehicle data might be limited). Real-world experience from owners in online forums could also give you a better idea.
