How many miles does a 2020 Chevy Spark get?

On average, the Spark returns about 33 miles per gallon combined (roughly 30 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway with the automatic transmission).


Understanding the EPA numbers and what they mean


The EPA provides fuel-economy ratings that can vary slightly by configuration. For most 2020 Spark models powered by the 1.4-liter engine, with an automatic transmission, the official estimates are around 30 mpg in city driving, about 38 mpg on the highway, and roughly 33 mpg combined. Manual-transmission variants typically show similar overall mileage, with minor differences depending on driving style and route.


Driving range on a full tank


Fuel economy is only part of the story; range depends on tank size. The 2020 Spark carries a fuel tank of about 9.0 gallons. With an EPA-like combined consumption around 33 mpg, that translates to roughly 270–300 miles on a full tank under mixed driving conditions. Real-world range will vary with terrain, climate control use, cargo, and individual driving habits.


What affects your miles per gallon?


Several factors influence real-world mileage, including driving style (aggressive vs. steady), traffic conditions, tire pressure, maintenance, weight in the vehicle, and the use of features like air conditioning. Keeping tires properly inflated and performing routine maintenance can help you approach the EPA estimates.


Bottom line


The 2020 Chevy Spark offers efficient urban transportation with EPA-estimated fuel economy around the mid-30s mpg and a practical full-tank range of about 270–300 miles in typical mixed driving. Your actual mileage will depend on your driving habits and conditions.


Summary


In short, expect about 33 mpg combined from a typical 2020 Spark, with a full-tank range near 300 miles under standard driving. Real-world results vary, but the Spark remains a fuel-efficient option in the compact-car segment.
