Expert Quotes:

17 mpg city, 24 highway (FWD); 16/23 mpg (AWD)
U.S. EPA

Thanks to the six-speed automatic transmission's wide span of gear ratios, GM boasts, the Traverse provides both impressive performance and fuel economy, but we haven't seen the latter.

EPA fuel economy ratings are 17 mpg city, 24 highway with front-wheel drive, or 16/23 with all-wheel drive. And these figures might even be a little optimistic; in repeat drives of the Equinox and its Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia siblings, The Car Connection has noted real-world figures near the bottom of that scale.
