With prices rising at the pump, it’s understandable for drivers to want to maximize their Chevy Traverse gas mileage. How and where you drive can make a big difference in how quickly your SUV uses up gasoline, but what powertrain and model you choose also has a major impact. Take these tips to spend less time at the gas pump or talk to our team at Lester Glenn Chevrolet of Freehold for even more options.
Drive Defensively
Pay attention to how much energy your car wastes on the road slowing down and getting back to driving speeds. If you can avoid “jackrabbit starts”—slamming down on the gas pedal when the light turns green—and coast to a stop, you can reduce the amount of energy your vehicle needs. Removing cargo can be helpful, too, especially if you have a cargo carrier or roof rack installed.
Switch to Diesel
Diesel engines offer higher MPG and more torque, making them great options for full-size Chevy SUVs. With the diesel engine, the 2027 Chevrolet Tahoe offers 5-7 MPG more in combined driving, making it perfect for long-distance highway driving.
Explore Electric
The safest way to spend less time at the pump is to forget about it altogether. The 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV and 2027 Chevrolet Silverado EV offer all of the full-throated power of our SUVs and trucks, built on an efficient electric platform. Our team can help you set up a Level 2 charger at home and you can wake up with a full tank.
