What Is Chevy’s Dynamic Fuel Management Technology?

When you think of Chevy V8 models like the Silverado, the Suburban, and the Tahoe, "power," "capability," and "size" are words that probably come to mind right away. Thanks to DynamicFuel Management engine technology, you can also add "efficient" to that list!

It's true that Chevy's larger vehicles aren't going to be your first choice for low gas mileage, but DFM tech allows them to get the best possible efficiency for their size - while still delivering all the power you need, when you need it.

When cruising down the highway or driving slowly on a city street, a V8 engine isn't working close to its full capacity. But if all of the engine's eight cylinders are still in use, this can lower fuel efficiency quite a bit. And here's where DFM comes in!

DFM uses computers to constantly monitor your V8 engine's performance, using 17 different patterns to shut off the cylinders you don't need. But when you do need to accelerate, haul a heavy load, or tow something, DFM immediately reactivates the engine's idled cylinders to maximize your vehicle's capabilities.

Thanks to DFM, Chevy V8 models can offer the best of both worlds - massive power whenever you require it and improved fuel economy when you don't.
