sounds like you could use a owners manual click this link https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/show...t=owner+manual


to compare mpg of gas vs e-85 look at this link http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Power...WD&srchtyp=ymm

Don't feel bad you should have seen me trying yo figuer out how to open the gas door the first day we bought my wife's 09 HHR. Here I am finally sitting at the gas pump going through the owners manuel trying to find the info. Imagine how I felt when all I had to do was push. I had a good laugh.

Opening the gas cap can be a challenge. I have a few Pontiac Fieros and there is a small handle on the driver's side "B" pillar which will pop the gas cap door. Quite hidden to the uinformed. After driving the Fiero for a while, then jumping into my non Fiero driver, I instinctively reach over to pop the gas door, which is not there when I stop for gas.

At first I worried some about the gas cap being so easy accessible. But after 3 years of ownership I have had no bad experiences.
