EPA fuel economy and emissions

The Tracker is rated at 21 MPG city, 24 MPG highway, and 22 MPG combined. The combined figure sits between its city and highway ratings, while the difference between them is three MPG. Its reported tailpipe CO2 figure is 403.95 g/mile. The EPA annual fuel cost estimate is $3,050; it is an estimate rather than a guarantee of an individual owner's spending.

Who it's for

This Tracker may suit a buyer whose priorities include a convertible format, a gasoline engine, manual shifting, and four-wheel or all-wheel drive. The fuel figures are also relevant for shoppers comparing ongoing fuel use, particularly when estimating whether a 22 MPG combined rating fits their driving needs. Buyers who need details beyond the listed engine, transmission, body category, and EPA figures will need to confirm those specifications separately.

Pros and cons

Pros: Four-wheel or all-wheel drive is paired with a manual five-speed transmission, and the EPA city, highway, and combined ratings offer a clear fuel-economy reference.
Cons: The 22 MPG combined rating and $3,050 annual fuel cost estimate make fuel use an important ownership consideration. The available specifications do not establish further equipment or practical-capacity details.

Alternatives

For shoppers who want to compare other Chevrolet models, the Chevrolet cars list provides a broader starting point. The linked alternatives include electric Blazer EV configurations: 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV AWD, 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV AWD SS, 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV FWD, and 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV FWD 22 inch tire. Other choices include the 2027 Chevrolet BOLT and Corvette models: 2027 Chevrolet Corvette, 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, and 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport X Hybrid. These names alone do not establish how their specifications compare with the Tracker.

Verdict

The 1998 Tracker 4WD Convertible is defined here by a compact set of specifications: a 1.6 L gasoline four-cylinder, five-speed manual transmission, four-wheel or all-wheel drive, and 22 MPG combined EPA fuel economy. Its $3,050 annual fuel cost estimate and 403.95 g/mile tailpipe CO2 figure are worth considering alongside its 21 MPG city and 24 MPG highway ratings. For a buyer drawn to its convertible format and drivetrain, these figures clarify the fuel-use tradeoff; the supplied details are not enough to assess other aspects of ownership.
