My wife and I picked up our new HHR about 7 hours ago. Traded in a loaded Pacifica looking for gas mileage! Love the way this little car drives .I haved named it Pat, for the character on Saturday Night Live a few years back. Could be male could be female! I know its fun to drive, It has the 5 speed manual, Sunburst orange / Cashmere leather. Any tips on improving gas mileage?

 

to the site Iamaphinespelrr!!! Make sure your tires have correct air pressure. Don't mash on the gas. Use air conditioning over rolling down windows. Try not to idle too long. All the normals Love the name

Welcome to the forum. Enjoy your car. All of the things that "Hills" mentioned, plus use the search feather and skim through the associated threads. Many people have suggestions, but remember, MPG is really dependent on the driver and the locale.

I also like your name.....maybe associated with another member from Florida (insiders joke, stick around and you'll kind out).

 

I believe a more suitable name would be "Purple Passion".

 

We can't think of a name for the HHR yet. Need to see more of his personality; only 700 miles on the clock.

The wife's VW's full name is Milo Beetlebug (Milo = Jim Carrey's dog in 'The Mask')

 

all I see is :redXdance unless of course I go to your gallery.

 

I've actually decided to "re-name" mine to Birdsong

 

My cobalts name is Terra Blue...
sounds like a porn star..
hehe

 

My HHR is named Wheelie, Where did I get that name from?...from 1 of my favorite cartoon shows i saw when I was 7...WHeelie and the Chopper Bunch, When I saw my HHR for the 1st time, a vision of that little cartoon car popped into my mind, and that was it, I named my HHR Wheelie, and he loves his name! =)

 

Was one of my favs as well!!
