We just drove from Bradenton Florida to Buffalo New York area 1343 miles and I have to say our HHR 2LT got 28.4 miles per gallon according to the trip monitor. We drove mostley between 75 & 80 MPH AND I have to admit on a couple of occasions I took Her up to 90-100 MPH just to see how She handled.
Our HHR was loaded full + 4 Boston Terriers & 2 big Metal Cages that we kept the Bostons in on the trip, Could not get over all the room with the back seats folde down.
The HHR handled the Virginia & West Virginia Mountains with no problem & loaded down as She was that 2.4 in my opinion performed great, Better than I expected.
We are totaly pleased and proud of our 2006 HHR 2LT, Dark Silver Mewtalic.
Just wanted to drop this line to share with you HHR Owners and HHR.NET Members.

Sounds like quite a haul! Glad you arrived at your destination safely.

 

Glad all got there safe and sound.
Poor puppies locked in cages, hope there were lots of potty stops.
Let us know when you come back down and we will have a g2g.
