Hey,

I was going to look into getthe the cobalt SS S/C... I was wondering what kind of gas mileage you guys are getting in city/highway/and Per Tank? Please do not put what Chevy "say" it will get... I want real world number please...


Thanks
Manny

 

Doing perhaps 60% highway, 40% city, I'm getting around 26-27mpg. Or roughly 300 miles out of an 11 or 11.5 gallon fill-up. That real world enough for you?

Disclaimer: your mileage may vary according to your driving habits, daily commute, and the quality of gas you put in the tank.

 

I average around 300mi per tank. The best I have gotten was 350ish

 

In town lots of stopping & going I get 25-26. On the interstate a/c on rolling with cruise control set at 73 I get 32.7. My husband drove the car this week to Houston, a 6 hour drive no a/c, windows down on the interstate rolling at 85 he got 31.6. I have an 06 ss/sc.

 

Mine is about 60% highway 40% in town and my gauge says 26-26.5 mpg and that's with mods.

 

My last highway trip with the AC on I got 33.6 mpg, in-town is in the 23 range.

 

with my ls i get around 26 to 29 city and around 30 to 35 highway

 

I dont suppose theres any way to change the read out on the DIC?
My mileage reads Litres/100km, and its confusing. lol
Generally, Im using about 9L per 100km. My math is completely rusted over, so I couldnt tell yah what kind of MPG that works out to.
On a full tank of gas, I get about 425km. I expect that to improve a bit, as Im still in love with my car, and on the gas pretty often. lol

 

my guage read 29.6 mpg and thats about 40/60 highway/city

 

Highway mileage.

 

I get 21.4 with a average speed of 26, i drive mostly in town with lots of stop lights. On the highway I've gotten 34

 

Exact same trip today got 6.9/100 or 34.08mpg! 600kms with 1/8 tank leftover.

 

Average 50/50 highway/city is about 26-28mpg. 60/40 highway/city is about 28-30. I get over 350 miles on almost every tank.

 

I don't trust the computer thingy so when I fill up next I will do it the old fashion way. Probably going to be filling up on Wednesday. Just guessing though from the amount of miles I have driven and the amount of fuel left in the tank I think I am getting 25ish and that's all in town so far.

 

Ok stupid question time. I just got mine. Does it have a low fuel warning and if so when the hell does it turn on?

 

when you run out of gas haha........
it then says "sucker muahahahaha!"

 

Lol so I take that as a no eh. hummm that kinda sucks.

 

It absolutely does have a low fuel indicator. When you reach about 1.5 gallons left, the Drivers Information Center switches to saying "Low Fuel Level" or some such thing as the default displayed message.

 

I looked and looked through the freakin manualll but I never found the info. Thank you Justinian. I appreciate the information.

Now if I can stop getting 9 miles to the gallon...

 

Speaking of low fuel, yesterday my buddy and I went out test driving cars for kicks. I haven't got to pick up mine from the dealer yet so we went to a different Chevy dealer so he could test drive one. We got a black 06 supercharged without G85 and looked like it had about a quarter tank of gas in it when we left. When we were out we got our butts handed to us by some sweet Porsche Carrera S and shortly after raped a Civic and were feeling better and low fuel light came on. We only put 10 miles on the car so maybe the last bit of the fuel meter is innacurrate? Either way he was impressed with the car, and wants to get rid of his '03 Blazer Extreme for one now.
