Since the 2026 Silverado 1500 is available with 4 engines and 2 drivetrains, its efficiency will vary depending on the exact configuration you choose. For example, if you opt for a 2WD model, you can expect slightly more efficient drives around St. Charles. Here are the EPA-estimated mpg ratings by trim level and drivetrain:
Regardless of which configuration you choose, you’ll have access to the Automatic Stop/Start feature that’ll help boost your efficiency on the streets of St. Peters. With this feature, your car’s engine will shut off automatically anytime you’re at a complete stop or you have your foot on the brake pedal. When you remove your foot from the brake, the engine will restart on its own.
The 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 earns EPA-estimated ratings from 15 to 20 city mpg and 17 to 23 highway mpg, with the ZR2 leading at 20 city / 23 highway / 21 combined and most light-duty trims returning 17–18 city and 19–21 highway mpg.
