Lately I been thinking a buying a another and make it ahieve 35 mpg average. Thats when I stumbled on this http://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=10889

Kinda make me wish I would have gotton a XFE...

 

I would way rather pay the extra in gas and own an SS. However, 50 mpg is very nice.

 

i get 50mpg when driving like a normal person

 

wow. he goes 45 in a 55 just to save a few dollars. i would be pissed if i was stuck behind him.

no you don't.

 

impressive, but why is that guy trying to get him to buy a mirror??

 

yes i do!!!!....but only when i feather it....or like i said drive normal...which is hard for me to do...but my wife does it everytime she drives my car

my wife didnt believe me either so i let her drive it and now shes a believer

 

With the way I drive I'm lucky to brake 23MPG

 

I treat people who drive slower than the posted speed limit pretty poorly, hope he never finds himself saving gas infront of me

 

Meh, I get 50mpg in my 320+whp SS.

 

i believe you cuz i get 50mpg in my turboed 2.2....and no this is not BS

 

I believe me because I have no reason to lie to a bunch of yokels over the internet. Haha.

However, I logged it over a couple different long distance trips on the interstate. Set the Cruise Control and let her do her thing. Got 47mpg with one tank (that was with an average speed of 75mph), 51.8mpg with another tank (average speed 65mph), and got 50.6 on my last one (with an average speed of 71mph - I was altering between 65 and 80mph, pacing a 2010 Roush Mustang 427R... or some **** like that. I posted it in my build thread).

 

The EPA saya the TC is rated to get better milage but there are times I wish I would have saved some money and bought a SC model. Insane mileage on the Hwy, and the whine.

2.2 lt no mods
87 octane gas, regular oil
about 150 pounds of dynamat and like 60 pounds of subs and amps and wires.

^^^^ it is possible, i didnt even make sure the tires were infalted all the way, much less at max possible press. and didnt clean my car out with all the **** inside either.

 

ile trade you my redline for ur stock TC.... Its an lsj also lol just get back to me on these ile do a straight up trade... :P

 

 

you gotta let out a little gas every once in a while lol

 

Idk but i laughed my ass off when i seen the mirror.

 

Question for both of you, this is 50 mpg on the DIC readout right?!

 

43mpg in my stock 2.2

 

i got 30mpg 1200mile that i spent on the highway last week in my XFE. speed was between 80-100. 300 of those miles were an emergancy

 

DIC is highly inaccurate

 

Ive never gotten over like 37mpg over the course of a tank of fuel, as calculated by filling and dividing by mileage. Even on pure highway runs on the PA Pike.
If I go by the DIC and reset it it once underway I can easily break 40mpg, even on my local country backroads, but the DIC isnt real life mileage, I dont care how you use it. fuel mileage is: FILL TANK, RESET TRIP ODO, DRIVE, STOP, REFILL TANK, DIVIDE MILES BY GALLONS. period. (unless youve got a loab quality fuel flow/quantity gauge.)

Ive never met anyone who got legitamately in 40's that way driving at or above legal speeds

 

Yeah.

Like your tuning ability?

I did. I did the miles/gallons method on my first tank that hit ~50mpg... and it was decently close... but not exactly accurate. But I DID get a good bit over 40mpg.

 

whoever says they get over 45 mpg in the cobalt is toally full of it. unless you drive your cobalt down hill both ways of course :P. but sorry guys im not gonna beleive for one second you get over 45 miles per gallon!!

 

45 mpg all highway is possible. And, as mentioned, the DIC is not particularly accurate.
