You can really feel it when the compressor kicks in and with it running most of the time during the summer months, we get around from 2 to 4 less mpg. Overall though, even with the AC running, i still get the advertised mpg!

My 09 Aveo5 is Auto with Alum. wheels. Is it possible that my poor gas mileage could be do to larger dia. mounted tires giveing an adometer miss calculation. I read on an earlier posting that a TSB said odometer might be off 7 to 9%. Might the basic models have smaller diameter wheels and the computer is not set to compinsate. Is such info. out on 09's. This weekend I am going to check against the ionterstate mile posts. Norm Replies to this message: sandyriver (Sep 19, 2009 3:32 am) marcusx (Sep 28, 2009 9:50 pm)

Replying to: norm116 (Sep 18, 2009 7:25 pm) If they are factory wheels, it's unlikely that the odometer is wrong. I can't beleive the carmakers will expose themselves to lawsuits that way. If you added aftermarket alum wheels, the theory sounds plausible.   - sandy.

Replying to: nav7090 (Jan 18, 2009 9:33 pm) Joining for first time   I bought for 9200 also. That was in 07. I actually saw in the paper when the Eco was it's worst, a local dealer selling new for 7000.  I have a 5 speed, and like it alot. Notice I didn't say love it? The gas mileage is great? Abt 32 or a little better under 55 mph. On the highway, not so good. 65-70 abt 25 or little better.   The plus: Great gas mileage                  Flop down rear seats(you can fit a lot of stuff in through the trunk                  Quick and responsive little motor (1.6)                  Can carry 4 fine, 5 if you have to, but it can be done.                     The minus: This car should not, and I repeat NOT be driven on the Highway                    in the winter. NO,NO,NO. Do not.                    The chassis is a poor design in relation to the front drive wheel.                    The chassis is stiff, (the short length of car) and cannot respond                    to the powerfull front wheel torque, and that makes the tire                    want to spin in response to the engine.                    At highway speeds this is a disaster waiting to come about.                    The first sign of no traction (ICE) and you have the spinning                    event of your life.                    Big, and not so big trucks when they pass have a tendency to want                    to draw your vehicle into them. (talk about white knuckles-oh yeah!)   Thank you for your listen. It is overall still a good little car.

Replying to: norm116 (Sep 18, 2009 7:25 pm) gotta agree with sandyriver...if the wheels are factory then the odometer is probably right. use a tire size calculator if you want to test different sizes to see how your odometer could be affected (bottom part of that page)

Replying to: norm116 (Sep 14, 2009 3:53 pm) Have you had any luck with your fuel mileage increasing? I know it can be a real hard problem to find. Thought if it was still poor maybe I could share some ideas
