The computer on these cars is amazing!
you will see better when it gets warmer. when your engine is cold it uses more fuel to "choke" the system and your engine oil is thicker. ive reset my mpg cruising at 60 in the summer and seen it as high as 40. it went down as soon as some hills went up but i was impressed.

amazing , yep
it is so nice to just push a tiny button , and hear my hhr crank up , while i'm inside , in the heat.
i just wish the heated seats would also come on.
i remember i once had an old 69 torino fastback . i only paid $100 for it . i miss the car . but i do not miss going out early in the am , having to open the hood and adjust the carb , just to get it to run , and then have to readjust it to get it to go.

It's how you drive and where you drive. For me, mostly to and from work 4 miles with several stop lights, I get 22 mpg. My average speed is always 21 mph on the DIC. If I hit the freeway, I can get 32-34 mpg. Combo that (which I never do) and I'd get upper 20's.
I'm not complaining at all. My pickup was getting me 12 mpg at best.

Wifeys 2.2 07 has been hovering about 31.5..DIC hasn't been reset for well over 8 months
She does about 35 miles round trip per day..but then,she drives like a girl! Except for those occasions where Johnny Law gave some looks and once a warning....
