Nope. I always reset the trip odometer so I can calculate easily.

I was at 191.? miles and it took 10.05 gallons (yeah, I was on Empty, it's only a 10 gallon tank. LOL). So that doesn't even take any math...

 

You aren't leaving it in 2nd are you?? j/k

Have a heavy right foot maybe??

 

LOL No. There's no use having a heavy foot in the Aveo. Floor it, or barely tap it.. It's all the same. putputputputputputputputput

I should say that the majority of my driving is City. But 19 is still inexcusable.

 

Yea those were some funny looking Camaro's we had a GM powertrain engineer living close to my home back in '95-'96 and he brought several of them home while in development. I remeber thinking why does that engine sound so hollow and higher toned, it was my first earful of LS1 at low rumble. Quite a bit different than the LT1.

 

Intake and exhaust on the aveo and I never get under 33 mpg. Thats mostly highway, and at least 60 miles of my 90 mile commute is at 80 mph+. I can hit 40 mpg when I take it easy the whole way to work and back. But even when I fill it up after a weekend of driving city, its never under 33. Tune it up and drive it right. I have 83,000 on my '05 and couldnt be happier with it.

Edit: And its a 11.9 gallon tank. Ive put 12.3 gallons in it before.

 

Everything I have states it's a 10 gallon tank...

The one time I had a lot of highway driving on it I got an average of 26mpg. But that was it.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'drive it right' since I dont' have a heavy foot, nor am I speeder. I live 4 miles from work, so I don't even have a chance to... (And, yes I understand such short distances contribute to the horrible gas mileage. But 19 is still exceptionally horrible.)

Oh, and I have less than 13,000 miles on it btw.

All in all, the Aveo is an 'ok' car for grocery getting. But I admit I am sick of it. Stuck with it for 2+ more years though. Ugh. I rarely admit my mistakes ('cause I rarely make them lol), but trading the 2002 Camaro for the 'practical' car was a huge mistake. Practicality be damned.

 

I feel your pain. I sold my 02 Z and bought a 96 Explorer with cash left over. Its more practical and slightly worse on gas but not a day goes by that I don't miss the F-body. So thats why I save money and spend time here so that the long wait for 2009 can be handled.

 

I wish we could return the favor. Pontiac Commodore sounds better than G8. Some Americans know what a Commodore is...

 

I can't say I care for the name 'Commodore' for a car. Grand Prix and Bonneville both sound much better.

'Commodore' brings back memories of the ancient Commodore 64 computers from the 80's.

 

lol...yeah i still got one of the Commodore's sitten around...but a name makes all the difference

now i want my CAMARO...lol....or at least some pictures of the production

thatll be the day
