Okay, here is another newbie question. I'm sure this has been discussed here before, I just can't find it.
How's the gas mileage with the HHR? My gas mileage currently sucks. I didn't really care what it was when I bought my current car, but I do now.
Thanks.

I'm getting 27.4mpg combined city and highway with lots of hills. I have gotten as high as 29.8 on a long trip with 3 people and luggage.

Wow, that is soooo much better than what I'm getting now.

Check this thread out: Poor Gas Mileage. If you do a search for fuel mileage or gas mileage you will find more threads.

What is your current type (car)?
I have a 2.2L, great on gas, City/Highway, avg. 25-30 mpg.
Pretty peppy too.

I currently have a 2004 PT Cruiser. I will be trading that in on the HHR.

the worst we've seen is 22.5 on a full tank of short city runs. typically we're getting 25-27 mixed driving, and on longer freeway trips, we've seen as high as 29-30

Mine is only 2 weeks old, so it's not even close to being broke in and I'm getting 24.3 w/ a mix of city and highway driving(w/ a lead foot also, lol)
so it should get even better after the break in period.

I had an '06 and got 32 mpg on the highway, I traded for an '07 Fall Edition - I am getting about 24 mpg around town and 30 mpg on the highway.
