Another newbie.
Hello all,
I registered the other day & have been lurking. I just bought a Silver 2008 HHR LT with 23,500 miles & love it. I traded my beloved '99 Dodge Ram Quadcab. My Chevy didn't have an owners manual, the dealer has ordered one. In the meantime, what grade of gasoline should I put in it, regular unleaded ok? That is of course if it ever gets low enough before my manual arrives, I can't believe the mileage after 10 years of 13-15 mpg.

Welcome and congrats on the HHR. I use reg unleaded in my 08 2LT and have had no problems whatsoever. Tried the premium grades and did notice better performance. Good luck with the car.

This is for the 2.4

The 2.2 calls for Regular to begin with
