These are the top fuel economy estimates for these Chevy brands. In some cases, fuel economy varies by trim level. Chevy also offers many other models with different engines and transmissions that still deliver surprising fuel economy. | Model | City* | | Highway* | | Chevy | Aveo | 24 | | 34 | | Chevy | Cobalt | 24 | | 33 | | Chevy | HHR | 22 | | 30 | | Chevy | Malibu | 22 | | 30 | | *Based on EPA estimates and segmentation. |
| Active Fuel Management™ shifts from eight cylinders to four and back again. In situations where extra power is not needed, such as cruising down the highway on level roads, Active Fuel Management™ deactivates half of the cylinders with seamless precision. When load demands increase, such as when the vehicle accelerates or travels uphill, cylinders are reactivated to provide full power. Best of all, you don't have to do a thing and it all happens seamlessly. | The 2008 Tahoe Hybrid, available in two- or four-wheel drive, provides the power and capability you expect from a utility vehicle while offering fuel efficiency you never imagined — an outstanding EPA estimated MPG of 21 city, 22 highway for 2WD models, and 20 city, 20 highway for 4x4. In fact, 2008 Tahoe Hybrid 2WD offers the same EPA estimated city fuel efficiency as a four-cylinder Toyota Camry Tahoe Hybrid optimizes efficiency and performance whether you're driving in the city or on the highway and offers up to 50% better city fuel economy over the non-hybrid Tahoe. And it's one of the many ways GM is working to reduce our dependence on petroleum. Tahoe Hybrid is lowered in both the front and rear and features other aerodynamic enhancements, including integrated assist steps with flared fronts, streamlined hood and specially tuned fascias and front air dam. Another difference between Tahoe Hybrid and the normal production model is the inclusion of Tahoe Hybrid-specific badging and graphics. In addition, the hood and liftgate are made of lightweight aluminum and the low-mass aluminum wheels are outfitted with low rolling-resistance tires. | E85 Ethanol vehicles can run on either gasoline or E85 — a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline — or a combination of both. E85 ethanol fuel is a cleaner — burning, mostly renewable fuel source made from mostly U.S. — grown biomaterial, such as corn or other grain products. It helps reduce greenhouse gases and can enhance the nation’s economy and energy independence. Availability of this special fuel varies by state. |
