On the other hand, the 2022 Chevrolet Colorado had a fuel economy of 18 MPG in the city, 25 MPG on the highway, and 21 MPG combined while a fuel tank capacity of 21 gallons, however, we expect that its fuel efficiency and fuel tank capacity will be much better this year.

The 2022 Ford Ranger comes with a much better fuel economy that provides a mileage of 20 MPG in the city, 26 MPG on the highway, and 22 MPG combined while it compensates with 18.0 gallons fuel-tank capacity that is less than its adversaries.
