I have a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado v6 and I drive mostly city and I get 18.5 litres per 100 km in miles is 12.5 mpg and I drive conservative if I push it gets way worse mileage.
I do a lot of driving, I climb about 5,000 miles in elevation every day and come back down, my driving is almost all highway/freeway. With the v6 I average 24.5mpg, during my swing shift(making the climb from 2-3pm, and coming down the hill from 12-1am, I drop to about 23mpg for the day shift and get back up to about 24mpg on grave yard shift. I do not speed or drive hard(often) so it is possible to get very good fuel economy, even with the v6, but city driving will certainly kill your mileage, I’d advise the 4 cylinder if you plan to be doing mostly city driving, it will save you big time in fuel economy. These tests are all spring and summer months, winter will likely be much harder on fuel economy.
My 2018 colorado LT crew cab can hold 21 gallons 463 miles I think 17.8 city 22 hwy 20 combined. I love this truck the only bad thing is it doesn't Have a Gas Cap..... or dose the gas door Lock.... so anyone can open my gas tank.. any advice or fix for this??
video actually made a lot of sense.. and it was canadian lol . I'm in the market for a truck.. I'm a carpenter commuting to downtown Toronto from about 40 mins north .. (highway driving in the morning but stop and go coming home ) .. seems to get the same fuel consumption as a full size suv (pilot, Murano ,Highlander) .. hoping i can find one in my price range lol
Yes very informative! That also informs me your gas is expensive! I have a similar Colorado, but mines an ext cab Z71, 4x4,V6. I averaged 17 mpg in 70% city. On a road trip though I can a see an average of as high as 26 mpg all on hyw, I also tow a travel trailer and on my last 3000 mile trip at 9,780 lbs. GCVW we got 13 mpg! That's towing a 4,000 trailer, with a 560 lbs Sportster Motorcycel in the bed and all the water tank filled (40) gallons and all the stuff for the wife and I for three weeks of travel from Massachusetts to Key West, down the east coast of Fla and up the west coast, then inland to the Smokey Mountains of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, then home through Hershey PA! With all the mountains on the way home, 13 mpg is nit that bad. The Silverado I had just before the Colorado, a Z71,4x4AWD 5.3 V8 3:42. Gears, loaded exactly like this over just about the same route was only able to get 9 mpg! Sure it had a little more power, but not really enough to make a difference, cause we were more than able to keep to the speed limits at all times without running at or close to the 5,000 rpm range! All in all the Colorado is a fine truck for work or play cause it's also great on the beaches and mountain trails!
Fuel Economy your welcome! As a side note my cousin has a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4, V6 quad cab. His trailer weighs as much as mine but is a toy hauler cause his bike very similar same brand won't fit in his bed. The two of us and the wives and all the stuff on a similar trip together, with the both of us rolling over the same Cat Scale were within just over a hundred pounds with my weight being the most. But on the same roads at the same time my truck had noticeably more power and get better mileage. Like 13 mpg Colorado and 11 mpg Tacoma!!
How has the truck been to date? Any major issues? I'm soon going to be looking at replacing my 05 Colorado. Will be checking out the GM twins, Taco, Ridgeline and Frontier.
Have 2017 Colorado with 6000 miles on it to date (Z71 4wd). I am an old man that has owned a number of vehicles in his life and none of them can beat this truck! (And I am picky about what I buy). Colorado drives like a dream, comfortable, powerful and versatile. Gas mileage so far, (sorry, in mpg): 23.6 highway and 22.3 city. Overall still coming out to over 22 mpg. I do not baby it, it is way to much fun to drive so I do not think about fuel consumption. Inside it is luxury car, outside it is a truck.
This a was great because I am looking at 2018 Colorado z71 V6 4x4. The test truck spec match up well now I know how much km I will get driving out east in the summer time and when I go up north in winter.
Does anybody know how to get to that point he never showed us that I completely computer illiterate on my truck I should be able to do is push a button and it comes up how many miles I am getting per gallon
It all depends what it's designed to run on. Premium fuel has a higher resistance to detonation. So is required in some higher performance engines. It doesn't have any more energy than regular though so you won't get any mileage improvement in a truck like this.
As a Canadian it was nice to get a Canadian perspective on this. Thanks. I am picking up a crew cab Z71 version tomorrow.

I put a plastic cap over the filler neck, it fits loose but keeps the dirt and water out.
really isn't an issue, unless you suspect someone putting something in your gas tank

Sounds like you commute from the Markham/Richmond Hill area. I would definitely recommend checking out the Diesel variant as well, Mike :)
I have the diesel and it's amazing. It gets over 1000kms to a tank

Thanks for the information Kevin. The information regarding towing fuel economy is very useful to our audience!

K.R.V. really helpful information, many thanks. Planning on a same weight travel trailer-useful info!
any issues or problems with your truck? I'm considering getting a Colorado.
Thank you. You've earned a subscriber ❤
Got a 2017 lt 4wd with 90000 miles I average 22 if I simply do the speed limit I get 24-25 4wd is unbelievable😎😎😎

barry bishop Go with the calarado . Most reliable in class,best towing ,best performance for price ratio ,features ....list goes on .

What did you get? Im about to replace my 2010 v8 crew cab colorado. I think im gonna get a Canyon this go around though.
This a was great because I am looking at 2018 Colorado z71 V6 4x4. The test truck spec match up well now I know how much km I will get driving out east in the summer time and when I go up north in winter.
Good video man
Great video!!!
Forgot what trip I did but my best mpg was 32.5
Can it take E-15 gasohol blend gas??
Would this truck get better mileage with higher octane gas?
It’s tuned to use 84 octane
These gas prices make me laugh now a days. Or maybe it’s cry I’m not sure yet.
Not bad MPG for 80% city driving. His equivalent MPG is 17.
I have a 2018 Canyon that I drive ~80% highway and I get 22MPG.
How far can you go when doing a road trip on a tank of gas (aka highway mileage)
The Colorado has a 21 Gallon fuel tank
Does anybody know how to get to that point he never showed us that I completely computer illiterate on my truck I should be able to do is push a button and it comes up how many miles I am getting per gallon
Hi Roger, I don't remember to be honest, but ask the Chevrolet dealership. I'm sure they'd be happy to help you figure it out no charge.
@@FuelEconomyTest okay I'll give that a whirl thank you
All vehicles don't get good gas mileage until engine breaks in
Can you put in 91 octane?
You can. But you're wasting money if you do.
Kev T Forsure. But wouldn’t I be wasting my money if I put it in my bmw? Or does it effect those engines quite differently due to them being luxury?
