Gas milage, Head gaskets??
I need some help, please??? I'm looking at buying a HHR, what kind of everyday milage is everyone getting/ Also I've heard that the engine used in the HHR is a Cavalier motor and they're known for blowing head gaskets. I would sure appreciate any help. thanks

I'm getting 32mpg on the highway and between 22-25 in town (lots of stoplights),
Cavalier? Nah. The HHR's engine is an ecotec - they are successfully racing them modified at 1000hp, so I doubt seriously a 153 or 172hp version is sweating anything.
BTW - if you're still looking, pop for the 2.4L (larger engine), as it has the variable valve timing which provides better torque.
Best of luck!

I get around 28-29 with a mix of highway & city driving. I do take it easy to get that mileage, but it is great on mileage. I do have the 2.4L (larger 4-banger). Mine would easily get 30-32 on the highway.
2,400 miles so far, no complaints, fun car!!!
