My 2.2l got 37.9 miles per gallon with a good mix of city and highway. I was seeing a constant 33.5, but my car has 2000 miles now and i think it is just about broken in and the gas mileage just keeps rising. I filled up the tank and took an 80 mile round trip all highway and when i was done it red 42.9. I cant believe this but when i filled up the tank the mileage reader was off by about 3 tenths, averaging about 37.6. I shift at 2,000 rpms everytime and coast to stop signs. I could not be happier with the mileage im getting. Can anyone else report similar results with a mix and highway and city driving? My window sticker said only 25mpg in the city.

well since i drive my car (3,500k shifts city, 5000k getting on highway), sometimes higher if im feelin frisky, and use the power it is graced with...not just pokin and coastin. No i get more like 28.5mpg which still isn't to shabby. But congrats on the fuel economy, i hope its worth it...

bluechevyss05

lol i dont know man, i like getting on it, but its not that fast of a car to begin with, when i had the ss i would get on it, but that was more worth it

The LS still can lay rubber to road, trust me

Skottish

my ls can lay some rubber.....too bad when i tried that last night i wasnt thinking and let the clutch out slow.....didnt get smoke from the tires, but instead from the CLUTCH.....it is just now startin to come back to its normal self.....after a whole day of delivering pizza......anyhoo.....about the MPG.....i drive primarily city, and even with getting on it almost constantly i get about 25-28mpg.....which is good

The most that I've gotten from a driving on a 60 mile trip was about 36mpg. Not bad at all. Here in the city i'm getting 29.6mpg even from driving really spirited.

ReMz

im averaging 24.2 mpg in my SS/SC after 1,000 miles and some very very spirited driving. mostly city.

REIGN SS

you should reset your guage every once and a while, i do every time i fill up

snowbred

niice i just hit 25 mpg and im so happy

blkcobalt

I get an average of 32.6 mpg. That is a mix of city/hwy driving. I also suffer from a disfigurement. ( my right foot is alot heavy than my left, )

Shamrock

Mine cant lay rubber to the road, darn Traction control (with no way to really turn it off)

I havent reset my mpg guage in 5k miles, and it still says 30.3mpg

RollOver360

I get 33-36 mpg. And i drive city and highway and i shift around 3,000 RPMs and i love to get into the gas. O yea and my car just turned 3,000 miles. I dont think i could stand shifting at 2,000 RPMS... i think i would go nuts...way too slow for me...

yea its hard keeping control and only shifting at 2k, but i live only getting gas once every 2 weeks

RollOver360

That sucks, I fill my tank up about every 7-10 days. Depends on if I decided to go on any joy rides or just work and school.

I get gas every other day. It sux.

Strider_2001

If one starts right they can lay rubber in 1st, shift to second and keep em burning, and once I shifted to 3rd and squeeked it a little....That was in my LS....They are faster then alot of people gve them credit for...

BlackBalt

LOL, they have crappier tires than people give them credit for. Get some tires with a wear rating of like 150 and everything will change...

eazyasone23

im usually a consistant 33.5 mpg

Where are all these city MPG's of high 20's - low 30's coming from? I have never gotten better than 26.3 MPG, it varies from 24.9-26.3, shifting at 3k everytime, and some highway. Havent been on a road trip though, but I will be taking a 500 mile trip next weekend...

i never get that high
the mpg isnt completely accurate, you can manipulate it depending on when you reset it
only way to figure out ur mpg, is to fill it alllll the way up, drive to half a tank, see how many gallons you actually put in, and calculate it based on the amount of miles you drove

bluechevyss05

it is only about 3 tenths off, if you want to get higher then 26 mpg in the city, shift at a lower rpm and coast
