I Test the Fuel Economy (MPG) of the Chevy 1500 Silverado with the 2.7L TurboMax 4 cylinder engine. Some people are saying this small 2.7L turbo engine is NOT getting good Fuel economy. So I test this TurboMax I-4 engine again the 2.7L EcoBoost engine, the 3.4L I-force engine and other large V8 engine to see just how Good or how Bad this turbomax's Fuel Economy really is.

This is one of the test I have been really looking forward to doing with this chevy 1500 and the 2.7L Turbo max engine. I have heard alot of people complaining about poor fuel economy with this engine or fuel economy that is not as good as they expected.
and when I first reviewed this truck my fuel economy was not as great as expected. so when this truck with the 2.7L turbomax engine got 22.8 mpg on my real world fuel economy loop I was very surprised. I was honestly expecting the 2.7L ecoboost to be more fuel efficient but not the case.
I also describe a couple reason or trucks this 2.7L turbomax engine has to help improve fuel economy like cylinder deactivation or active fuel management shutting down 2 cylinders. using an electric water pump. start stop technology and generally having a very small displacement.
overall I think this is a very good score forn this truck and this small 2.7L turbo engine. let me know what you guys are getting out of this engine!
