Got to love that HHR MPG
I have been driving a 07 TB SS AWD with the 6.0L V-8 Vette motor for the past 3 yrs. The BEST MPG I ever saw with that was 16.0
Now granted I drive over 80mph regularly and that was probably keeping it around 77-80mph but with 4 adults, 1 infant(w/seat), and a trailer hitch luggage rack. Mix in some slow driving due to snow & traffic... still 16.0 the best.
my 2010 HHR SS gets me usually around 20mph around town with the a/c on and 22 without. But the wife took it on a biz trip this week and when I got in it yesterday to drive to work... I noticed this...
Needless to say I'm more than excited. I also expect this to increase slightly as the car only has 2500 or so on it.
Sound about normal to you guys?

I recently got 27.4 mpg on a 1000 mile roundtrip from Puerto Vallarta to Mexico City. With the exception of going through a few towns all of it was high speed driving (80+ and more than a few blasts to 125+) while crossing numerous mountain ranges. Blows my mind. I got my license in the early sixties when gas was cheap but you used a lot of it to power.

Best I ever got on a tankfull was @520 miles, all highway, was 33.5 MPG.
I average over 30 MPG this summer with most of it long trips on mostly secondary roads with a little highway thrown in.
That's with very little traffic & very few stops but plenty of hills & mountains.
I get about 27 around town.
