Although gas prices are low right now, it’s only a matter of time before they start creeping back up. As such, some Chevy Silverado owners may look to maximize the fuel returns for their pickup, something which the available Chevrolet Silverado Fuel Economy Package (RPO code XFE) is designed to address. Now, we’re taking a closer look at this optional extra in the following GM Authority Feature Spotlight.
The Chevrolet Silverado XFE Fuel Economy Package is offered for 2020 model-year 1500 pickups, and includes the following content (RPO code listed in parentheses):
- 18-inch Bright Silver painted wheels (PZX)
- P265/65R18SL all-season blackwall tires
- Premium soft roll-up tonneau cover (also available as an official accessory)
Pricing for this package is listed at $850.
The Chevrolet Silverado XFE Fuel Economy Package is only offered on the mid-range LT trim level, and requires the 2WD drivetrain. The package also requires the Short Bed / Crew Cab body style, with the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine under the hood. The 5.3L V8 L84 produces 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, and is paired to the GM eight-speed MQE automatic transmission.
The package is not available with the Convenience Package, Max Trailering Package, or the Z71 Off-Road Package. In fact, it can only be paired with the standard trim level content, with no other options outside of the Fuel Economy package allowed.
With regard to the benefits, the Chevrolet Silverado XFE Fuel Economy Package improves highway and combined fuel returns by 1 mpg, bringing figures up to 17 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined. Check out our complete 2020 Chevrolet Silverado fuel economy figures comparison for more info.
As a reminder, the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 rides on the GM T1 platform, with assembly taking place at GM Flint Assembly in Flint, Michigan, and GM Fort Wayne Assembly in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

So, did we pick a winner of the best mpg compared to EPA ratings yet?
I’d like to submit my unverified numbers just to prove people wrong.
I got 36 mpg in my 2016 Tahoe. According to my best 25 mile dashboard screen. Since there are no rules, I feel I’m entitled to at least your consideration for Best MPGer ever…
My 1989 K2500 Chevy Scottsdale gets 16 in town and 21 on the highway.
Im getting the same mileage with my 2017 GMC Sierra SLE 4X4 5.3L V8 full crew cab long bed with the options that are missing in the above Chevy. What was the advantage again?
I have a 06-5.3 a 07-4.8 and a 13 -5.3, all I have ever got as fuel economy is 12-13 mpg and the average-did sucks it will get you in a bind. Will not ever buy another GM product am not happy with them at all!!!!
I had a 2017 that got 22 to 24 on the highway it was a lease now I leased a 2020 and it gets about the same maybe a mile or two better I was all as satisfied with the mileage great truck
I think it is how people drive. Taking off like a rocket at the stop light. And other driving. I. Have a 2014 k2500 Z71 and my best mpg shows 25 that was when I was driving to work everyday 30 miles one way. Combined city and hiway.
It’s very easy to tell who gets bad gas mileage on the freeway. The ones that dont anticipate traffic and are on and off the brakes as they almost rear end people, the people that drive with two feet (thankfully its pretty rare to see the brake lights flickering on and off as they inadvertently apply the brakes while trying to maintain speed) and the best are the turbo diesels. Listening to the turbo spool up and spool down as the idiot driving fluctuates foot pressure but isnt actually trying to accelerate.
My 2020 Chevrolet 1500 with the 3.0 I6 Duramax get 29MPG on the Highway when I’m not pulling a trailer and 18MPG when I am pulling a trailer.
