My DIC MPG is at like 21 at best on the city. I'm not sure if this is off or my car sucks. I don't go and ripe the throttle every time, maybe once or twice per fill up. My car is a 2005 stock LS, with power everything, I don't run the air all that much either. i bought it liek 2 months ago and its been this way since I got it. Put 87 oct gas in it as recommended. I bought it with 2k miles on it and it's from 2005, could there be something that needs replaced or something hurting my gas milage?

 

try resetting your dic and see what happens. and keep in mind the mileage that they say a car will get is the best possible, so you have to drive like an old man to get that mileage.

 

I reset it everytime I fuel up. Been reset like 5-6 times since i got the car. what is everyone else getting with a stock 2.2l?

 

the average is right around high 26's in the city. might drop depending on how i drive. lol. drove half an hour all highway yesterday though, it went up to 29.6

 

17.8 mpg here... But I do not drive efficiently AT ALL...

 

i am around 24/25 city driving... get up to the 30's when I do highway.

Do you sit and let it idle alot? or warm it up way ahead of time in the AM?

 

21 in town... thats about what i get on my ss/sc

 

26.5-27.5 is pretty standard for me...2005 LS 2.2 Sport PKG Loaded

 

damn...i get 22-24 city and right around 35 highway....

 

get an intake. your gas mileage goes WAY UP!. for me in my ss 2.4 on the highway i was getting 34 mpg using my cruise control at 60 mph. now i get 40.8!! get an intake! youll save money in the long run

 

wow my supercharged gets better gas milage then that i get about 22 or so and thats even when i get on the gas a few times

 

i average about 28mpg in mixed conditions... i don't go much over the speed limit though, and generally don't drive like an idiot.

 

I drive like an idiot!

 

people have said thatb efore, that is in a guys sig..

"i drive like this "

 

I get 25 and I do ALL city driving. You just need to learn to drive more efficiently, don't race to every light, don't hit the brakes when going downhill when you can, don't smash the pedal when the light turns green.

And how the hell were you able to pick up a 2005 model with only 2000 miles on it??? Did you get it from a 90 year old lady?

 

could of got a civic 40 mpg

 

27-28mpg mostly city. 07 cobalt lt with 16" wheel package.

 

thanks for all the input guys. I'm guessing the car sat outside for a few winters here, lots of snow, so i was wondering if that would effect anything.

 

i get about 21-22 and sometimes i drive like this...

 

REALLY? Hmm, I think I have a defective intake!

 

have you changed the oil? if it was on a lot they probably had crap in it and they also probably didn't change it for the whole two years....

 

I drive pretty heavily... had 24.6 after last 90miles or so...on the parkway doing 65 i see as high at 39

 

changed the oil when i got it, figured it had been in there 2 years already
