The Buick Encore GX stands out with fuel numbers that make daily driving easier on your wallet. Front Wheel Drive models reach up to 29 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway¹. These figures make a difference during short drives around Stuart or longer trips along the coast.

This level of efficiency comes from thoughtful engineering. The engine uses less fuel while keeping steady performance. When you cruise through traffic or settle into highway speed, the Encore GX maintains consistent fuel use without sudden spikes.

Under the hood, the available 1.3L turbocharged engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission plays a key role in efficiency. This setup keeps gear changes smooth and controlled, which helps reduce wasted fuel. You feel steady acceleration when merging onto I-95 or navigating city streets.

The Encore GX also includes Automatic Stop Start technology. When you stop at a red light in Palm Beach Gardens, the engine turns off. As soon as you release the brake, it starts again. This system helps reduce fuel use during idle time, which adds up over the course of a week.

Size matters too. As a subcompact SUV, the Encore GX carries less weight than larger vehicles. Less weight means the engine uses less energy to move forward. This design supports better Buick Encore fuel economy without asking you to give up space for passengers or cargo.

Your driving habits directly affect fuel use. Smooth acceleration helps your vehicle stay efficient. When you press the gas pedal gently, the engine does not need to work as hard. This approach works well during daily drives through Lake Park or stop and go traffic near shopping areas.

Keeping your tires properly inflated also supports better mileage. Low tire pressure creates extra resistance on the road. When your tires are at the right level, your Encore GX moves more freely and uses less fuel over time.

Routine maintenance plays a role too. Regular oil changes and clean air filters keep the engine running as designed. A well maintained engine burns fuel more efficiently. And did you know that according to the U.S. Department of Energy, aggressive driving can lower gas mileage by up to 30 percent on the highway and 40 percent in city driving?².
