Thumbs up Never seen this on the balt before :)

Saw this last night after I filled up. Never thought I'd see this one

Avg mpg. Was 27.3 mpg from last fill up(highway miles) I still gotta change my spark plugs 2 >.<



Doesn't that new Cruze Eco get like 400 highway miles for a tank? Next time ima jus cruuuuuise an see what i can do. I was goin like 75-85 the whole time 2...
And I schmoked a Stang v6 in vA somewhere and me an this Camaro were flying thru the hills at 120+ for a while...

Jus thought I'd share, that is all

hahaha ive been trying to get my girlfriend to buy an ss for awhile but she doesnt like the idea of having the same car. she wants to be "original" as she looks at sti's and evo's ha.. shes such a tomboy and i love it because i made her that way=]

AND IM STILL THE HIGHEST SS WITH 34MPG's!!

38mpg going from State College to Knoxville. Record was 41mpg cruising to grad school and home - technically highway, no traffic lights, but the highest speed limit was 50mph. Both pen & paper calc, the DIC on mine always reads about .5mpg high.

My most recent boyfriend and I both had SS/SCs. Before we were dating he had a 2.4, then he got an orange SS/SC and I had mine. When he had the orange one, it was faster. After he got rid of that one, he started tinkering with mine, now it's faster than his was.

Record low was 5mpg on the road course.

When it was first tuned for E85, I got 12mpg city because I was always flooring it. Towards then end of its daily driver duties I had it up just under 17mpg city. Which is sad. The daily driver I have now is a 4-banger N/A PT Cruiser......it only gets 19mpg city. If I didn't have to park in the ghetto I would love to go back to using the SS as work transportation.
