Thinking about replacing my 2008 2lt 2.4 with a SS. MPG is one of my concerns. Hwy I was getting 30-34 with the 2.4 5spd. What can I expect on a steady cruise with the 2.0?

Thanks

I'm getting around 30-32mpg out on the hi-way, cruise on, steady 75-80 mph, here in Nor-cal. Some hills on trip,I get around 30, reasonably flat, get up to 32mpg.
I have the Trifecta tune, WOT, 26 lbs. boost it goes down to around 25 mpg.
I have a 09 SS, and thats the numbers I've been getting.
If you're thinking about a SS, do it, you'll be happy. "Moon"

Cool. That is what i wanted to hear... Can't find a panel to replace the one I totaled last week so second choice is an SS. Thanks again

Insurance will likely be a bit more on an SS.... Just saying.

I am 27 with two speeding violations and my insurance is 98 a month. And I consistently see 32 mpg on the hwy with me, my wife and two kids. I get about 23 city around here. I hope this helps some.

Yep, but well worth it I'm told.;).. My next choice is a Vette.:eek:...since the kid moved out..:nuts: I miss my '85 vette.. maybe it's time to go back in time...:roll:

Thanks again for confirming the MPG numbers.. That makes my decision easier

I'm getting around 22-23 MPG city and that's beating on it here and there in my Automatic

Bob- I hope you find whatever makes ya happy !!!




WOW, $1176 per year !!!!! I'm older w/ clean record. $300 per yr, w/$50. deductable.

believe it or not, this is cheap for around here(the atlanta area). I had an 06 4runner before and we paid 130 a month and that was the cheapest around. I also forgot to mention that my wife is 23. I wish I paid you premium, thats a great price.

I generally see around 22-24 avg mpg...but then again it seems like my right foot is always touching the floor:nuts:

32+ on the highway, averaging 28 combined on my 55 mile roundtrip for work in DC area traffic. GMPP kit, and I put my foot in it, with shifts around 3500 ( 5000 when I'm into it ).

That's about what I am seeing.

I'm getting an average of 25ish mph. :eek: That's 60-70 miles daily in my commute and I keep it at no less than 75-80 on the highway. You can see all the mods I have in my sig, but I do have a heavy right foot though!! :lol:

30 is about the best I have done; less than I expected. The result of my usual combination of mostly hwy with maybe 10/20% around town on business trips.

Maybe if I focused on mpg, hwy would be better; I don't know for sure.

About 24 around town though, which is better than I expected. (5 speed, LSD, Stage 1)

i have NEVER gotten over 29 mph on the highway with my 07 LT2 ... 2.4

I see 23-24 in summer around town and that is not resetting the MPG at each fill up. That is a real for the month reading.

Highway I see around 30 MPG.

Note the Turbo upgrade will increase the MPG by one MPG under normal driving. IT has been confirmed by an engineer from GMPD.

i get 23 city,30 highway.2010 ss with 3100 miles on my car right now.keeps getting better.

What upgrade is that?

turbo upgrade is called the gms1 or gmpp upgrade. I have gotten an average of just over 30mpg on my last 2 tanks since I've been keeping my foot out of it more lately. granted I hit 138 on the last tank of gas and just over 100 a couple times but nicely driving otherwise. the worst I've ever gotten out of a full tank is just under 25mpg but that was with a lot of over 100mph runs while working on my tune some. been too busy to mess with it lately.

Got 33 mpg on my trip back from Omaha to Superior WI last week and that was 87 octane running 74 mph with my Trifecta Tuned 2.4 Auto.

What upgrade is that?

Stage 1 GM performance upgrade. It might increase your mileage a tad, but it requires premium fuel. The SS without the upgrade can run on regular, but loses a little power.

My mileage is right around 30 MPG on the highway. In mixed driving to work etc is 23-26 depending on the time of year and how hard I am on the car. Mileage is the same or better than my old 06 2.4(both were automatics).

I replaced my 2005 Vibe with a 2010 HHR SS after the Vibe got totaled. Gas mileage is about 30 on the highway if you can keep your foot out of the boost. ;)

I don't regret it at all. It's a blast to drive!

Stage 1 automatic shows 24mpg instant at 100+ mph.
That's not too bad!

Must be nice to have roads open enough to do this! There's too many people going slow in the left lane around here.
