The U.S. Department of Energy is the official United States government source for fuel economy information, and they put the Suburban through the gauntlet to test its efficiency.

The tests revealed surprisingly thrifty gas mileage from the eight-cylinder 5.3L engine, which delivers its impressive power to an automatic six-speed transmission. The EPA estimates for the two-wheel drive option are as follows:

  • 23 miles per gallon highway
  • 15 miles per gallon city
  • 19 miles per gallon combined

Upgrading to the four-wheel drive, new Suburban shaves only one mile per gallon off of those numbers.

The massive 26 gallon fuel tank gives the Suburban for 2018 a range of almost 500 miles at the rate of 19 miles per gallon combined, and this range increases on road trips with lots of highway drive time.
