What is the fuel economy of a 98 Chevy 1500 v8 5.7 liter?

The fuel economy of a 1998 Chevy 1500 with a 5.7L V8 varies significantly depending on several factors:

* Driving conditions: City driving will yield considerably lower MPG than highway driving. Stop-and-go traffic, hills, and aggressive acceleration all reduce fuel efficiency.

* Vehicle condition: Proper tire inflation, regular maintenance (including tune-ups), and a well-maintained engine all impact fuel economy.

* Payload: A heavier load in the truck will reduce MPG.

* Transmission type: Automatic or manual transmissions have slightly different fuel economy.

Therefore, it's impossible to give a single definitive answer. However, you can expect EPA estimates to be in the range of 10-14 MPG city and 14-17 MPG highway. Real-world results often fall below these estimates. Keep in mind that these are just estimates, and your actual mileage may vary considerably.
