When could I expect to get good gas mileage from my 2005 Aveo Hatchback ? My first tank full got approx 20 MPG. I have heard that the new car needs to be broken in. I purchased it on 1/2/2006 new. It is automatic/AC. I have not really had any freeway driving and most the driving is in the city. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Replying to: rollerskate (Jan 13, 2006 11:50 am) It will take around 5000-7000 miles and at least one oil change to start to see the MPG get to its best level. Unless you can provide full details of your city driving habits, then there is little information to base a comparison. |

Replying to: rollerskate (Jan 13, 2006 11:50 am) There has been some Aveo's with incorrect computer programming and terrible mileage as a result. If this is the case with your car the dealer should be able to recalibrate it. There was some past posts regarding this issue and how it greatly improves mileage. You may want to search a site like google.com to try and find more information on this. |

Hi everyone. I'm new to this particular group but not to the board. I'm from Canada and just bought a 2006 Suzuki Swift+ 5 door hatchback, 5 speed, no a/c, which is EXACTLY the same as Canada's Chevy Aveo and Pontiac Wave and whatever the Daewoo is called??? I think they are all Daewoos right and just rebadged as Chev, Pontiac or Suzuki??? In Canada at least the 2006 Chev Aveo or Pontiac Wave does not have side airbags, CD etc that this Suzuki has so this is a better deal from that point of view. My only disappointment has been the gas mileage. My first tank only returned about 32 mpg overall. In Canada its rated at 31 mpg city and 46 mpg hwy. Remember too that a Cdn gallon is 20% larger than a USA gallon so my average is only about 26.5 mpg in USA gallons. To make matters worse the split was roughly 2/3 hwy minimum and 1/3 city miles. Has anyone else got this poor mileage and do you think it will improve once broken in??? On the hwy i mostly average around 60 to 65 mph and in the city although i am usually an aggressive driver, i have 90-95% of the time been really babying it, starting off extremely slow and shifting around 2500rpm and not flooring it at all or going very fast. There has been some stop and go but overall not a lot. Based on Canada's "EPA" ratings i would have expected combined to be about 40 mpg minimum considering majority of miles were highway at relatively normal speeds. At 100 kilometers per hour or about 62 1/2 mph it revs about 2750 rpm and at 110 KPH or 69 mph it revs about 3000 rpm. Any opinions would be very much appreciated. Thanks. |

Replying to: smlcarguy (Feb 02, 2006 6:22 pm) I had hoped for better, considering the light weight and small engine. It should average 35+ with moderate driving and most people don't do that well. I just finished entering all my gas receipts into a computer program for maintaining auto expenses -- at 53K miles, my average with 80% highway and 20% gentle driving on secondary roads is 32.03. That's exactly what I got with a heavier, larger car with 138 HP vs. the Aveo's 103 HP.

Replying to: wave54 (Feb 03, 2006 2:35 am) Actually aside from current poor mileage i do love the car and the roominess for its size and my local Suzuki dealer has been great. I am optimistic mileage will improve. Reassuring to know also if i head off on a long trip and no Suzuki dealer near by i can get service at any GM Chev or Pontiac dealer also. Again, thanks for the "inspiration".

Replying to: smlcarguy (Feb 02, 2006 6:22 pm) ----------------- Wow, I get better gas mileage in my VW GTI. Though a newly bought car will need to be 'broken in' for the best gas mileage. Also, the winter formula gasoline tends to yield a few MPG less than the summer formula. So it could just be a combination of both. If it's still bad come summer, you might want to take it to the dealership for an full inspection. |

I am interested in the Aveo LS 4-Door hatchback but am confused over the gas mileage. I've heard some people get really great gas mileage (like 38 highway) while others are lucky to get 27 highway. I would like to know what owners here have been experiencing, especially after they have broken their cars in. I'm particularly interested to hear what type of mileage those with the manual transmission have been getting both city and highway. Thanks for your help. |
