#154 of 157 Poor MPG by matrixvibe Mar 10, 2009 (8:35 am)
I recently bought an '05 Vibe- Matrix with less than 28K on it. I've been averaging about 27 mpg highway at 65 to 85 mph and 30 to 31 city. Very disappointing. It has original tires. I noticed that the fronts are rated at a higher psi than the backs, they are original equipment... Goodyear RSA's. Have also noticed that it drives kind of "squirrely" over bumps. Have read the threads on camber and toe and I'm concerned for tread life and mileage. Any suggestions?

Replying to: mantech (Feb 10, 2009 8:49 pm) Forgot to mention it's a base model 5 spd. I feel I should be getting well over 35 city as I live in a rural area with littel stop and go. Freeway mileage should improve not decrease in my estimation. I've been considering a cold air intake and have been looking to reprogram for better fuel efficiency.

Filled up tonight for the first time in a couple of weeks, maybe longer: 11.33 gallons, 422 miles, which my calculator says is better than 37 mpg. Can't complain! Don't suppose I will be seeing the 40 mpg I was dreaming of, any time soon though.   2007 XR 5-speed.
#157 of 157 and so by nippononly Apr 27, 2009 (8:03 am)
the A/C use has begun in earnest, here in California!   As a result, last night's fill-up: 377 miles, 10.9 gallons, makes for 34.5 mpg according to my calculator.   2007 XR 5-speed.
