* Speed: Highway driving generally yields better MPG than city driving.
* Terrain: Hills and mountains reduce fuel efficiency.
* Driving style: Aggressive acceleration and braking significantly lower MPG.
* Vehicle condition: Proper tire inflation and regular maintenance impact fuel economy.
* Cargo weight: Heavier loads reduce MPG.
The EPA estimated MPG for a 2000 Chevy Impala is usually in the range of 18-25 MPG (city/highway combined).
To estimate your range:
1. Find your Impala's MPG: Check your owner's manual or use a fuel efficiency tracking app to determine your actual MPG.
2. Calculate your range: Multiply your MPG by the tank capacity (16 gallons).
Example: If your Impala gets 22 MPG:
22 MPG * 16 gallons = 352 miles
Keep in mind: This is just an estimate. Your actual mileage may vary significantly.
