Hey Guys,

I'm considering buying a Cobalt cause I want a new car and I like the ECOTEC! I was looking through the paper and the GM ads say it gets 43mpg on the highway and 29 mpg in the city but yet when I looked at fueleconomy.gov (US gov't site) it says different numbers. I also looked into the Canadian Gov't equivalent of Fueleconomy.gov (same results as GMcanada) and I'm guessing we measure our cars a different way. What is everyone else getting on their 2.2?

 

29 mpg city and 32-35ish at 80mph

 

I think that 43 MPG was a typo. It should be 34. Im getting around 20 MPG in all city traffic.

 

I have the SS S/C and even tho I've been baby-ing it a lil bit, I'm avg about 32 mpg. ahhhh maybe 31-30 actually

 

3 typos I don't think its a mistake...
-GM ads in major Canadian newspaper
-Gov't of Canada
-GMCanada.com

all say 43mpg Auto and 48 mpg for the manual 2.2

 

Cobalt SS\SC here

HW 29-30
City -26

 

Canadian mpg are different from US mpg.

 

ss/sc

city constant 28-30
Highway last trip to Michigan 35-36(during engine break in)

 

Hows that???

Isnt a Gallon of gas a Gallon of gas????

 

ya and Canada was once a British colony just the Eastern States.

 

City I see about 23-24 and highway about 32-33 (85mph+) Granted I do have some Hp tuners tweaking and ill make even bigger gains when i get the wideband hooked up

 

m getting 33.5

 

My last tank of gas I was driving like it was stolen and was getting 11.8liters/100kms. Now I'm driving 'responsibly' just to see the difference and getting 9.5liters/100kms with a new tank of gas. Always 91octane. Its the highest I can get around here.

 

i just went out and checked my car and right now im averaging 32.5 and thats mixed driving.. 3 types..."hwy,city, and *******"

 

damn i have a 2.4 auto and i average around 22. i reset it every time i get gas. its usually all city driving though. hardly any highway.

 

ROFL

The third driving style is my fave

 

im averaging 28 in city
34 puttin along at 70-75ish on the highway

07 ss/sc car

 

average for mixed driving is 28-30. all highway if there's no traffic i get 39 mpg.

around town i go the speed limit, or don't go over 40. on the highway i do 80.

 

mix of highway and city = 35 MPG nothing like a lil tuning and 60lbers

 

25mpg all city drivn

 

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

good one!

oh man.. i just hit the floor laughing

Gallons are gallons... miles are miles.. but in canada they use Liters and Kilometers

 

35 mpg = 8.0L/100kms

 

all we have to do is go into the computer and switch from metric to standard and we get the exact same reading you guys do.

 

WOW im only getting 18.2 mpg average on my 07 SS S/C!!!!!!!! how are you guys getting such good gas mileage???

 

injectors is my guess
