MPG:36.30700779


I was fairly pleased with this tank until mkt8891 posted lol anyways this was pretty much 80% highway 20%city....I do believe throwing it into neutral coming up to stops has helped. Another thing i think that is effecting the numbers is how little I am going before I fill up, but it just happens that way because i only drive up and back from school once a week. School is done soon so then ill get to take it a bit further between fill ups.

well i've always averaged about 33 mpg. with the last couple fill-ups and gas above $3.50 a gallon i've been babying it so much like leaving stop lights and stop signs slowly coasting to stop signs and lights, if im going down hill i'll throw it in neutral and i've kept it under 75mph on the highway. i have a shott ram intake but i dont think thats helpin very much, and im gettin rims and an exhaust put on shortly, so maybe with the exhaust it'll help a little more.

damn how do u manage to drive that slow in ct? ive been up there a few times and I was doing like 10 over the speed limit and i still had cars flying by me.

yea thats typical around here. i just laugh at people doing 80mph+ with gas the price it is and most the time im not in a hurry to get where im going so there really is no reason to be going 80mph+

i try to stay at 75mph but sometimes the aveo just wants to go 80 when Im cruising not paying attentiont to speed

I bought my 04 Aveo about 6 weeks ago. It's an auto. I get about 34mpg combined. The aveo is loaded, but I wish that it had cruise control.

OK, after some listening, and some elbow grease, I finally replaced my air fliter with the K & N filter, replaced the plugs with NGK BKR6EIX-11 Iridium plugs and put on a set of Magnacore Wires. Wow!! What a difference!! It only took my 80000 miles to get around to this. While I was there I also drained out my old trans fluid and replaced it with the B & M Trickshift Trans fluid. I could almost see a smile on my Aveos grill today. By the way, filled up 11 gallons at $4.15/gallon for $42.00. Disgusting!!! I'm curious to see what increase in mileage I get. The original NGK factory plugs were worn to the nub.

Case 8:
Miles:173.2
Gallons:5.465
MPG:31.6925892

Yea I was a little late to get some places I needed to go so I wasn't following my normal driving rules and it was a lot more city driving than normal




Case 9:
Miles:257.6
Gallons:8.471
MPG:30.40963287

This time was just all my driving on sunday. Once again driving like a maniac to get to a soccer game all the way up north at the tip of NJ. I think at one point we were doing like 95 on the turnpike. Alot of zipping around city driving too. I expected to be in the 20's with this one but I was happy when I calculated it.

[mkt8891]

ok i've filled up twice since the last time i posted
1st: drove 177 miles and put in 4.948 gallons and averaged 35.77 mpg

2nd: drove 189 miles and put in 5.288 gallons and averaged 35.74 mpg

putting a header on tomorrow morning (thanks to thenixonyouth) and will see if that helps any.

This is how i save gas. pull back the fuel 13%.

[genefitz]

I figure every time I fill up. Depending on the distance and the way I am driving, I run between 35 and 38 miles per gallon (I drive like a friggin grandma).
I am going to do the real test of my fas mileage in June, I am taking a trip from Seattle to Martinez, CA. It's about 750 miles or so. My aveo is all stock, so I will be able to get a pretty accurate number. I mean, on the 5 I can set the car at 70 and roll on till empty. The mountains may cause a drop though. We will just have to see. If nothing else, it will be a pretty good "real world" measure.

couldnt beat us normally so you had to cheat
