I drive mainly city driving with the air on and get close to 400 miles to the tank...

 

2.4 Liter Ecotec @ 34.5 MPG highway, not a problem.

Fuel in the tank to spare with 450 Miles driven.

If your getting poor mpg in a new car just wait a while, it gets better. My LT1 average mpg is 27.6 This is at 50 mph average. The car has 3000 miles. Although most of my driving is at 80 mph + I drive a lot through Houston traffic and in the Med center everyday. 27 mpg is great compared to anything I ever owned.

 

I filled up today, my second fill-up. 1Lt with a 2.4 & auto tranny. I used 14.2 gallons for 347.0 miles which is 24.44 mpg, which is also pretty close to what the dic said (24something). It was mostly in town driving. I'm looking forward to taking a trip in it to and see what I get on the highway.

At that rate, with 2 gallons left. (tanks are 16.2 gallons) if I would have driven the tank til it was empty it would have been just barley under 400 miles

 

I'm getting between 400 and 450 in my 2.2 AT so far. When I put my foot in it or when I'm doing lots of city driving it dips a little but I've never gone below the 400 on a tank yet. Oh and by the way, when the sign comes on and says fuel low it means it. =)

 

I went 460 miles the other day and had just under 1/4 tank left on a 2.2 Auto

 

2.4 with 5 speed manual.......


Filled my tank for the first time this morning on the way to work. I don't know what grade gas the dealer put in but it was full when I picked up the car. I filled up with 87 no-brand ($2.97/gallon). I didnt' notice any difference on the way to work. I even bogged it down in 5th and still didn't get any pinging.

I am real gentle on the throttle (I have a 73 Mustang for getting my jollies )

I drove 454 miles on the dealer fill up (all with the AC on) and put in 15.29 gallons of gas(the low fuel message had just come on)........so I got 29.7 MPG
