GMC Envoy Gas Mileage

 

 

Gas mileage is a measure of how fuel efficient a vehicle is. It refers to the ratio of the number of miles your vehicle has traveled to the number of gallons of gasoline burned when running such distance. There are usually two gas mileage figures issued, one for city and one for highway. The higher the gas mileage rating means the more fuel efficient your car is.

 

The main reason behind the use of the Vortec 4200 Inline 6-cylinder engine for the GMC Envoy is to provide better fuel economy. Inline type engines are known to use and eat up less gasoline compared to larger V-type engines. Consumer reports on the GMC Envoy however indicate that the gas mileage is not so good compared to other vehicles using inline type of engines.

 

The GMC Envoy has an average city/highway/combined gas mileage of about 15/20/17 for all of its model when using the Vortec 4200 Inline 6-cylinder engine. When the Vortec 5300 V8 engine is used, it registers an average of 14/19/16, a mile shorter with the same amount of gasoline used. But even if the Vortec 4200 engine rates better, it still cannot match the fuel economy provided by simpler inline types of engines mostly used for subcompact sedans.
