2018 Chevrolet Silverado Fuel Economy

EPA ratings by trim

City and highway are EPA's adjusted label figures; combined is the 55/45 blend printed on the window sticker. For electric and plug-in trims the MPG columns are MPGe, and the kWh per 100 miles is the figure a charging cost actually turns on; EPA measures it at the wall, so charging losses are already in it. Unrounded combined figures, where EPA publishes them: Silverado 15 Hybrid 2WD 19.8641; Silverado 15 Hybrid 4WD 18.0971; Silverado C15 2WD 19.8293; Silverado C15 2WD 17.9671; Silverado C15 2WD 18.6728; Silverado C15 2WD 18.7112; Silverado C15 2WD 17.3827; Silverado C15 Cab Chassis 2WD 17; Silverado K15 4WD 18.8013; Silverado K15 4WD 16.9435; Silverado K15 4WD 17.1897; Silverado K15 4WD 18.0883; Silverado K15 4WD 18.1587; Silverado K15 Cab Chassis 4WD 17.

What the rating costs per mile

The rating divided by a price, times your miles. It starts at EIA's current U.S. averages and EPA's 15,000 miles so the right-hand column is comparable; type your own pump price, home rate and mileage over them.

Fuel only — before depreciation, insurance, maintenance or tires, which the True Cost per Mile Calculator adds. Most drivers land below the rating; the True MPG Calculator measures your own from two fill-ups.

EPA's own figures, and why they differ

The “EPA's figure” column is EPA's annual fuel cost from the same file: 15,000 miles, 55% city, and the national fuel price fueleconomy.gov was using on the day the file was built (2026-09-29). fueleconomy.gov recomputes its page every week at the current price, so its number and the file's drift apart between file dates; the middle columns here use a price you can see and change, which is the only honest way to compare two cars. EPA also prints a five-year “you save/spend” against the average new vehicle (spends $4,750 for the Silverado 15 Hybrid 2WD); it rests on the same assumptions and is not repeated here as a result.

Every figure on this page is a rating, not a measurement of any particular car. The site never calls a rating wrong; it shows what your own price and miles do to it. See the model on fueleconomy.gov.
