How many miles per gallon does a 1997 Chevy suburban get?

The fuel economy of a 1997 Chevy Suburban varied significantly depending on the engine size and whether it was a 2WD or 4WD model. You won't find a single MPG figure that applies to all of them.

Expect to see EPA estimates ranging from roughly 12 to 17 miles per gallon in the city and 15 to 20 on the highway. Real-world mileage will likely be lower, especially with city driving and older vehicle condition. To get a more precise estimate for a specific 1997 Suburban, you'd need to know the engine size (5.7L, 7.4L) and drivetrain (2WD or 4WD).
