I bought my auto trans 07 Aveo in jan, I started getting about 31 mpg combined highway/city. unsatisfied with that I began adjusting my driving habits, First by slow starting off the lights and then letting my car coast to red lights. This added about 3 mpg, taking it even further by slower highway speeds from 75 to 77 mph down to 65 to 71 mph this added another 2 mpg. I then used used light pedal going up steep hills and coasting in neutral on long down grades(this lets the car coast freely). I drive my Aveo 3k every month, and I have just over 23K on the OD I get 37 mpg to 41 mpg now and that pleases me. so if you want more mpg just drive it like Granny!

Keep your tires aired to the max recommended for best mileage. Did they ever reset your cars computer?

Thought I'd put my 2 cents in which is about all I have left after filling up the tank, AGAIN! I'm in Canada and am getting not better than 11 and more often lately with winter starting 12.5 litres per 100 km or about 26 mpg. I also have started to drive like a granny but that sucks! I love the look but my Ford Focus wagon with a 2 litre did better mileage. I'm very frustrated with the car, can't get any straight answers from the dealer. How does a compact car with a 1.6 litre engine get such poor gas mileage? I'd say the tank was leaking but there's no smell and anyway it's new.

My Average Gas Mileage and Best Ever...

I have a 2007 Manual Aveo 4 Door Sedan. (Aveo LT). I usually get 31-34 MPG with mostly highway driving but I have gotten as high as 37 MPG once. The difference on my best MPG seemed to be speed (about 60MPH most times) and no need for air conditioning. I have 10,000 miles on the car and run Mobile One Extended Performance 5W-30 Synthetic. I am very happy with the vehicle.

I'm using synthetic also. Doesn't seem to make a difference. And it's 5 speed. Most of my driving is city but I can't drive 60 mph on the highway! Anyway 31--34 mpg on the highway at 60 clicks is certainly nothing to write home about. I would get at least 37 on my old Honda Civic doing 70-75 mph on the highway. But take yours in traffic for a tank and you can just watch that gauge move. You won't believe it.
