Chevrolet Silverado MPG by Year

Silverado MPG by Year and Version

The EPA has rated 516 configurations of the Silverado across gas, hybrid, electric, diesel and natural gas versions. Trucks come in a lot of engine and drivetrain combinations, so pick a year to narrow the list.

Electric and hydrogen versions are rated in MPGe, so compare them with each other rather than with the MPG figures.

Silverado MPG Over the Years

Each bar shows the range of combined MPG across every Silverado configuration the EPA rated that year, from the thirstiest version to the most efficient. Hover or tap a year to see the numbers. Electric versions are rated in MPGe, so they're left out of the chart and listed in the table instead.

Where These Numbers Come From

This page was built by Cedrick Reese from the U.S. EPA fuel economy dataset on fueleconomy.gov, which holds 516 ratings for the Chevrolet Silverado from 1999 to 2026. Each row in the table links to the matching EPA vehicle record, so you can check any figure against the source. Ratings from before 2008 use the EPA's revised estimates, which put older vehicles on the same scale as newer ones. Electric versions are rated in MPGe, the EPA's miles-per-gallon equivalent, and the table also shows their official range. When the EPA posts an updated file with new model years or corrected ratings, this page is rebuilt from it. The cost calculator uses the gas or electricity price you enter rather than a national average, so the result fits where you live.

Ratings on this page come from the EPA file downloaded on October 1, 2026.
