I have the 2006 2.2 ltr auto trans. I average almost 27 mpg. I drive 23 miles one way, mostly highway - few back roads are 45 mph speed limit. Main road is 55 to 65 mph. I usually do over the limit.
Best mpg was 30mpg all highway. |
difficult to read

However, Please Note - I Know All About Driving Conditions, Hills And Flat Roads, Jackrabbit Starts, Tire Pressure, Toping Off The Gas Tank, Etc. I Manually Calculate The Mpg ... I Dont Even Attempt To Pass Anyone Anymore. The First Week I Drove It I Knew The Hhr Just Cant Do It. It Cant Even Get Out Of Its Own Way. ....They Were Great Until I Paid Cash For My Car. Once I Drove It Out Of The Showroom, They Forgot My Name.
I have on '06 2.4 5-speed, and get about 25 combined. 80-20 city-hwy. |
Mostly hiway miles for me, but it's boston area driving so ~40 mile commute = 1.5 hrs on the road!! Even so, I pull ~24 mpg. An 07 2.4L with 4K+ and mostly driving sensibily.
Hilway, take a breath, take note and post so others are comfortable reading it. All caps and you're yelling. All words cap'd = unreadable. Either way you're gonna take flack. No matter the informal nature of a BB, there is suitable protocol and then there's yours. Just trying to help. |

In our 07 LT2 HHR (2.4 auto) we get about 23 city and 30 highway which I believe is on par with imports of this size. |

You need to share. :nuts: |
He's in Canada maybe he computed wrong;)
But, I'll third the comments, as standing, I think it's total BS. AND if not, GM Corporation would like to BUY your hemi. It obviously has some secrets even DMC knows nothing of.:D |
Up here in the great white north our MPG rating is different because we use Imperial gallons for the calculations instead of US gallons. Doing a gallon to gallon comparison is useless unless we're talking the same kind of gallon.
|
It could be a mis-calculation because there are imperial gallons and metric gallons, its time we all unite and use the much more logical metric system altogether.
When I switched from my Impala (3.8L V6) to the 2.4L HHR I noticed that the mileage gain was insignificant and even that the HHR had lower mileage than my Impala on some trips. |
22.5 miles per gallon (US) = 43.5 km/gallon (metric) = 36.2 km/gallon (US)
1 gallon (US) = 3.785 litres 1 gallon (metric) = 4.54 litres 1 gallon (metric) = 1.2 gallons (US) |
