anyway.. i get high 20's in the city and 36-37 on the freeway.. depending on my speed and road conditions.

 

ok, i dont get it. i have not seen mine go above 26 mpg. i am a lead foot sometimes but most of the time it is easy go. i have an 08 2.2L and engine is completely stock. hell i havent touched the plastic covers yet. i have read that people are getting 30 to 35 mpg. the only question i have is what do i need to do to get 30 mpg or so. my car has just broke 5000 miles.

 

the only time I get 30-35mpg. is on the highway.

 

avg city and hwy is 26/27mpg but i drive hard all the time

 

it almost looks like the supercharged 2.0 gets the same mileage

 

37 last tank almost all highway

to get 37 i drive like a pansy. around town though sometimes i get better millage just because you can neutral coast a lot also check out hypermiling techniques most of them are over the top but their are some good ideas in there

 

May want to drive like a panzy like whitty. I also drive like a old man. Then again i am rather Old and constantly have a child with me so i tend to drive a bit slower.

My daughter screams at me when I lead foot it sometimes. DADDY your going to fast slow down. And thats at 40. lmao

 

Bingo! Thats how i make up for my driving the hell out of it and still getting 30-31 in town

 

anywhere from 31-36, I don't do much city driving at all so that helps.

 

i hear ya. im about 45min outside of houston and i get 36mpg on average but unless im on the track i drive like my grandmother hahahah

 

yeah it doesnt i wa down in league city in the begining of june **** that heat!!

 

I normally have a lead foot, doctor says I have no hope haha, but I had been getting about 24mpg and I mean that is keepin it over 100mph a good amount of the time. I'm currently tryin some hypermilin' tactics so I can save some money on gas as I drive near 600miles a week , but I'm gettin 45mpg + ...it its def. possible, but I mean you have to accelerate like you have all day long to do it and draft when you can, keep it at 55mph, throw it to neutrol on downhills, etc...

 

I have done all those things and still only get about 37 not that i am complaining

 

Even at the Beaumont track at night its hot as hell. not to mention the smell. When i first went there i thought it was a skunk. a skunk don't last for 10 miles.

I would say the same thing about Michigan cold if i came up there in Jan. LOL

 

averaging 26-27 city

 

Ok so I set a new record today, driving 55mph on the interstate behind a dump truck I was averaging 54mpg!!!! no joke...even though it was for a little bit that was pretty sweet

 

i get around 24-29 city and 35-39 highway (depending how i drive)

 

24 give or take and that's runnin rich with a downed o2 sensor.

 

right now i am at 30 exactly...mixed. but highway lately and ive gotten over the whole 'floor it' stage..now its once and a great while get on it

but im hoping to get 500 miles out of this next tank...its gonna be ALL highway..ha
going to 6 flags and its a three hour drive there...3 hours back..

 

i get about 30 city, belive it or not, my town only has 4 roads
and i get high 30s highway

 

Mine with an automatic gets an average of 29.2 MPG and this is half highway and half inner city.

I have done a long distance trip in my wife's 03 Sunfire going 70mph with the CC on, and I did get 37 MPG. That was all highway miles going to Las Vegas. Since she has an Ecotec 2.2, I imagine getting about the same on my Cobalt.

 

I have an 05 ls coupe with the 2.2 and 5 speed standard tranny and the digital screen in the gauge cluster says im getting 23 city and 37 to 39 highway

 

at 13 gallons a tank you would need to average out at about 40 mpg. i guess if youre about 2-3 car lenghts behind and 18 wheeler it might happen. let us know how it goes.

 

so my car is down to 25ish mpg...mels is still at 38 though...sooooo...ya

 

yea i get about 38mpg on the hwy and about 28-30 in the city...but thats with a tune
