Had my (used) HHR now about 4K. My wife drives it (2 footed!) and gets about 21 in short trip, stop and go driving. On the one longish trip, I got 33.5 averaging about 65, cruise on, planning ahead to NOT have to stop and idle at any intersections, in pretty cold weather. Mine is an '07 2.2 LT with about 18k on it.

I ran some seafoam through the tank and switched to 0w30 synthetic oil and picked up about 3 mpg in my wifes city driving. No long highway trips yet.

I sure wish I could afford one of these for myself!!
