Average MPG in your Cobalt
 

What is your average MPG in your Cobalt PER TANK OF GAS

This is the # your DIC shows, not what you get using the "old-school" math method.

I'm not talking about the one time you reset it going 62 on your trip to TN and got 47 mpg, I mean what is your usual average week to week (or fillup to fillup)

I am getting 27 almost every time. Last tank i got 333.7 miles and it took 12.3 gallons to fill.

I usually end up in between 30 - 32 on the DIC on my work week. Thats driving normal and no WOT runs. Its a mix of highway and city about 82 miles round trip per day. I fill up Sunday, and then end up refueling again Thursday morning.

I average 28+. That's city, highway, and spirited drives.

I get about 23 and I have a heavy foot but I use cruise control on any stretch of road 1 mile or longer so I dont speed but at the same time can go the max legal speed when I dont mean to speed.

my 2007 2.2 AT, with k&n short ram and ss/sc down-pipe and exhaust gets an average of 24-25 almost all city driving and short highway runs. so about 310 miles per tank some times less.

I usually get about 36-38 MPG reseting it each time. I also mostly shift at 2K, and dont really come close to boost very often. Plus, it is mainly "highway" driving around here, there is no stop and go anywhere. Lol

Clicked LNF and meant LSJ...oops. Still getting about 27-28 mpg on a bone stock ss/sc cobalt. About 80% highway and 20% city. The DIC says 30, but doing the math at the station, its clearly optimistic.

Usually between 26-30

2.4 LE5 Ecotec

i usually get 21.3 or 21.7 city depending on my driving habits. 19 if I do a lot of fast accelerating. Get into 5th gear as much as you can cause thats the gas saver. I noticed my mpg varys a lot differently from 4th and 5th gear. like the 19 as apposed to 21

26.9 on the DIC with very little WOT driving.:twothumbs

25 everytime, with the occasion WOT run, just for the hell of it. i'm playing the "how much gas milage" can i get game right now... so far up to 33 mpg

24MPG is my average DIC after tons of normal daily driving.
BTW the average speed is ~30MPH with that.

I get about 40 highway only going 60-65 and not using the gas on hills. I get about 25-30 city since I'm a slow accelerator and I try not to accelerate when going up or down hills, just maintain speed going up and let gravity increase my speed when going down. Display says it's an overall average of 30.7

lol mine is 16mph

Summer normal everyday = 25-30

Summer highway = 35-40 (best ever was 42 last weekend about 200 miles of highway)

Winter normal everyday = 20-25

Winter highway = 25-30

2.2 auto

Im stage 3, getting 29.8 MPG, Most everywhere... Higher on the highway, of course.

im getting 34 in my ss/t

Last night when I checked it was at 27 and bounces between that and 26.9. (It's a 2.4 btw). How are people in the 2.4 getting between 35 and 40?

my mpg just went up for some reason. Used to be 29 or 30 just about all of the time, but it's currently at 32? Only thing that has changed is the temp outside. I still just drive the car to work one day a week and maybe to the store on Sunday.

Yeah, and you're in your break in period, hahaha.

most of the time ill get 35.6 or more as i usually drive highway to my girlfriends house which is 110 miles one way. i tend to take it easy most of the time but every now and then ill accelerate fast to hear the intake. if i really take it easy, a couple of times going to my girlfriends i got 40 mpg avg but it was hard to do as i was constantly watching the dic to make sure i got good gas mileage.

All highway driving?

I get a brutal split on mine. Basically 20 mpg city, 40 mpg highway.

Unfortunately I do about 100% city driving on a normal basis.

Almost always 33-35 Imperial MPG. Highway at 125-130 K, and in town at 40-60 K. Almost 50/50.

Edit: Btw Reign, nice idea on the poll finally. Maybe a sticky so noobs can't post new "whats your mpg?" threads?...

I average from 26-29mpg in my 2.4. But when I go down and visit my rents in SC, its gone as high as 35mpg.

I'm averaging around 29 or 30 in my ss/sc if I don't drive it hard

duh... I put LNF instead of LSJ.... I'm getting 25-30, unless I can't control my foot which happens from time to time... then I get 24ish :twothumbs
at the race track I get 6 mpg :lol::lol:
auto-Xing I get about 8 mpg

I am amazed at the power and economy combination, truly a great motor :twothumbs

I average about 23- 25 depending on my right foot. My highway gets about 35!

2.4L auto here, If Im not paying attention and just driving hard with traffic I get 27 or 28. If I make an effort to drive easy and stick to it, not letting it shift past 2500 rpm, i can get 33-34. I drive 40 miles each way to work so it pays to take it easy on the gas pedal.

25~26 all city not trying

City stop and go HWY on the way to work and no traffic on the way (3am) home.
27.9 for the week.
2008 SS/TC

depends on my mood.

bad mood tanks: 29mpg
typical\good mood tanks: 31-33mpg

Reign, I voted for the 25-30 on the LSJ. Since I have a LE5 also could you edit the poll to reflect a vote for 25-30 on the 2.4 also?

last one i got 27...time before that 25...ha

im trying to conserve gas. ha

30 city
38-40 hwy
:)

18.5, i <3 boost

damn Bryan... did you add the Hybrid option:lol:

for me to get any MPG near that, I'd have to chop off half my foot

thats with cams, 60's, and my majik finers!

summer gas does wonders. as well as a crap load of part throttle timing.

My DIC says 30.x MPG most of the time, using the old school method I usually get anywhere from 26-28 MPG per tank. I do a lot of highway driving.

I'm going to move this here
