Glad to see you are getting such good mileage.
 
It puzzles me, however, that you claim the best mileage at 70-75 MPH.
 
That defies all currently known science about fuel comsumption as it relates to engine rpm, wind resistance, etc.
 
Again, glad you are happy with it...

Some cars because of gearing get better mileage at faster speeds. I am not sure about the Aveo, but I have read this about other cars/trucks on other forums as well.

Hey, Poncho!
 
This week, I saw one of the convertible Geo's we spoke about earlier. It was a red LSi, but it had been "rode hard and put up wet", so to speak. Even at that, it still appeared to be running just fine...

I remember years ago when I was at the Chicago Auto Show they had a concept Yugo convertible. I already disliked Yugo's but this thing was ugly and they had it on a revolving platform with a spokes women. I told her it was a joke and would never sell and she was like who asked you type of look. They are there to get opinions and I gave mine. I like to give these temporary spokes people a hard time with technical questions that they usually can't answer.

WOW! A Yugo convertible!
 
I wonder if the top was made out of cardboard, like the bumpers were?
 
Although, that car would definitely be a collector's item today....but by who, I don't know...

I'm glad to hear it. I'm at almost 50K miles and my average is just over 40. A couple of things I've found to bump the winter mileage issues. I bought a K&N Filter and Bosch Double Platinum Plugs. My winter average bumped by 1.2 mpg average. It has already payed for the 2.

Took a road trip over the weekend and got 38.19 MPG going through nearly a full tank. (9 gallons 343.7 miles)
 
I have just over 10,000 miles on the car now and couldn't be happier.

No mileage yet, but got a price of $9,250 for a new LS with auto and air. Figure my cost with gasoline will beat 99% of hybrids over the years.
