* Year: Fuel efficiency standards and engine technology improved over the years the S10 was produced. Older models will generally get worse gas mileage than newer ones.
* Transmission: Automatic transmissions typically get slightly lower MPG than manual transmissions.
* Condition of the vehicle: Proper maintenance (tune-ups, air filter changes, etc.) significantly impacts fuel economy. A poorly maintained engine will use more fuel.
* Driving habits: Aggressive driving (rapid acceleration, hard braking) reduces fuel economy. City driving generally yields lower MPG than highway driving.
* Payload and towing: Hauling heavy loads or towing a trailer will drastically decrease fuel economy.
Therefore, it's impossible to give a single definitive answer.
However, you can expect a range of:
* City driving: 14-18 MPG (miles per gallon)
* Highway driving: 18-22 MPG
These are rough estimates. To find a more precise estimate for a specific year and model, I recommend checking the following resources:
* The owner's manual: This is the best source for the manufacturer's estimates.
* The EPA's FuelEconomy.gov website: This website provides fuel economy data for various vehicles. You'll need to specify the year and model of your S10.
* Online forums and review sites: Owners of Chevy S10s often discuss their real-world gas mileage in online forums and review sites. Keep in mind that individual experiences can vary.
Remember to be as specific as possible when searching for information (year, model, transmission type) to get the most accurate results.
