The Mileage
As for the 2.0L engine in the Premier, being a bigger engine and generating greater horsepower does reduce gas mileage somewhat. It gets 22 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway, which combines to about 26 mpg. The Hybrid engine is, interestingly, the opposite of the other two, getting better city mileage (49 mpg) than highway (43). Even so, the combined 46 mpg is still impressive.
Pay at the Pump
The second thing you need to account for is how often you'll need to fill up. Assuming an even split between city and highway driving, and assuming one fill-up per week, the engine with the lowest annual cost will be the Hybrid, at roughly $764. The 1.5L engine comes in next lowest with $1,095. The 2.0L is the highest at $1,467, although it should be pointed out the Chevy Malibu Premier package has a slightly larger gas tank so there is more to fill up.
