Silverado, Sierra getting highway rating of 22 mpg
Friday, July 31st, 2009
GM today has updated the highway ratings of its upcoming Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models to 22 mpg, bringing these full-size pickups to a best-in-class fuel efficiency.
“We’ve enhanced the trucks’ fuel-saver mode, which optimizes shift patterns in the six-speed transmission for the best fuel economy,” Chevrolet spokesman Brian Goebel said. “Also, Active Fuel Managment is now able to hold four-cylinder mode longer. Plus, we’ve added variable valve timing to the engine.”
The Silverado and Sierra will be out soon.
