Estimating driving range from tank capacity


To estimate range, multiply your vehicle’s miles-per-gallon (mpg) by the tank capacity. With a typical 31-gallon tank, at 15 mpg you’d expect around 465 miles of range under favorable conditions. Actual range depends on payload, driving style, terrain, and engine choice.


Summary: The Chevy Express van’s gasoline tank is generally 31 gallons, providing a practical driving range that can vary based on configuration and usage. For precise figures, check the door sticker or the owner’s manual specific to your vehicle.
