Whats your gas milage?

Ive been driving my car for 2300km and have not once hit the reset button on my gas economy thingy. I have 9L/100km all city driven. not sure what that is in miles per gallon but its better then what the car was suppose to have. How accurate are these things?

In one highway trip, I averaged 37.5 mpg.

But for the mostly city driving I do, I'm right around 25. It's not that bad because my round trip commute to work is only 10 miles.

Thumbs up My Miles per gallon

What up fellow Cobaltians, I average 30.2 as of right now. I drive at least 75 on the freeway. Not too bad huh. I'm getting better gas then the sticker price said it would.

I usually get between 28-31mpg per full tank depending on city/highway and how I drive.

I am getting about 27 -30 MPG For all around driving on my cobalt SS. I can get about 285 to 320 miles out of one tank full and only fill back up with 11 gallons of gas. I think this is prety good for a preformance car.

At speed (65-70mph), I am getting between 41-44mpg... When I am beating the living **** out of the car, like blasting down the interstate in traffic at about 80mph, I am getting between 29.9 and 33mpg.

I figure that's about right for that car.

First fill up I averaged 29 US MPG--or 34 CDN MPG or 8.1L/100 kms.

Better then I thought and it will go only up from here as the engine gets broken in.
