2010 Chevrolet Equinox Skepticism of EPA Fuel Economy Ratings

Several road tests have led to skepticism about the front-drive four-cylinder Equinox's EPA fuel economy ratings. After achieving 18.8 mpg-US (8.0 km/l) in a road test, Edmunds InsideLine stated, "...our testing didn't come close to achieving , even though we're usually within 1 mpg of the EPA combined number." Car and Driver recorded another 18 mpg-US (7.7 km/l) figure and noted its "...fuel economy that won’t live up to the 22 mpg-US (9.4 km/l)32 mpg-US (14 km/l) EPA ratings in real-world use..." .

Green Car Reports recorded as much as 25.8 mpg-US (11.0 km/l) on a road trip, driving almost exclusively highway miles in "Eco" mode. This is about 20% below the published highway EPA rating. The Truth About Cars have published an editorial suggesting that GM "inflated" the Equinox's fuel economy ratings for public relations purposes.
