#202 of 254 Re: Good mpg for '05 hatchback [nav7090] by luckins Mar 10, 2008 (5:32 am)
Replying to: nav7090 (Mar 02, 2008 12:24 pm) I usually change my coolant or have it flushed at about every 30,000 miles, or about every 48,000 km regardless of what the owner's manual says. I do what is considered "severe" driving because I do mostly city driving with stop and go and very short trips. So, I like to service the car more often. It saves me money in the long run.
#203 of 254 GM can do better by nogmfan Mar 28, 2008 (11:02 am)
I was considering the Aveo5 to replace my '01 Echo so I rented one recently while on a buisness trip. The car had just over 4k miles on it and I had it for a week. I drove practically all highway miles and it averaged 27 US mpg. GM has to do better.   My Echo gets 40-42 mpg on average. I'm now considering a Yaris. Or maybe I'll hold on to the Echo a while longer to see what else GM comes up with.

Replying to: nogmfan (Mar 28, 2008 11:02 am) How I regret not renting one before buying! I'm sure I would not have bought either for the same reason. After one year (way too long) I'm trading it in for a 98 Honda. With the mileage I do and having had a Honda before I figure I'll save $2000-$2500 a year in gas!

Replying to: nogmfan (Mar 28, 2008 11:02 am) I believe the majority of the Aveo's get close to what your Echo gets on the highway give or take 3 mpg or so. You can step up to the larger Cobalt or Corolla and get mid-30 mpg as well highway. The Cobalt city mileage is 25-27 mpg.

Replying to: nogmfan (Mar 28, 2008 11:02 am) The very best mileage I ever got on my 05 Aveo Hatchback LT (running synthetic oil) was between 31-32 MPG highway. I have read posts where others got much better, but I have no idea how they did it under normal driving conditions...
#207 of 254 First "long" trip by timseh Mar 30, 2008 (1:12 pm)
Just got back from a weekend trip from Cleveland to Dayton. All Highway miles on the way down (with a quick jog up to Springrield to drop off the kid for a college visit). Got 37 MPG going there. Quite a bit of around town driving on Saturday and the trip back came out to 32 MPG. I know the city driving brought it down quite a bit and it's uphill all the way home (probably downhill going there boosted the first tank a bit. All in all a 34.5 MPG average for the entire trip. I'm not a crazy driver, but don't drive like my 90 year old grandmother either.   I know others have had issues with mileage, but I'm pretty happy with this.
#208 of 254 Mileage for the week by randydriver Apr 10, 2008 (9:00 pm)
I just fill up my car tonight and I had drove 216 miles and it took 6.51 gallons to fill it up. That was driving around Dallas and Plano, Tx. and back and forth to work...not bad.   I am about to take a trip up to Eureka Springs, Ar. so I will give my mileage on that trip when I get back.
#209 of 254 37000 mile Average by ron1970 Apr 15, 2008 (4:11 am)
Hi All,   37000 mile average is at 39.4 mpg. 85% highway 15% city driving. Best tank 45.2 mpg / worst tank 32 mpg.   Ron

Replying to: randydriver (Apr 18, 2008 5:08 am) Great MPG!   Sure beats the heck out of what I got on the 05 Aveo that I had. Sounds like yours is a "keeper"!
