Please don't take offense..but sounds like she's heavy into the pedal. Maybe it'll get better with breakin? dunno. Light pedal from a stop and smooth throttle control gets the better mileage.

I found the readings to be inconsistent after driving only a few miles after resetting the econ display. After more miles driven for example say 40 miles the reading tends to be more consistent.

Others are getter mileage some in the low 20's so they claim. I'm getting 18.6-19 MPG on premium (better than regular=17.5-18) w/ a 2.4L + auto. This is on a 4 mile one way commute with an average of 6 stoplights (up to 12). It'll all varies depending on your driving style.

With about 350 miles on my 2007 2LT the DIC has been pretty steady at 19.4. This is just about all "around town" driving. Only had it on a real highway for about 60 miles the day I got the car.

I am getting much more than any I have seen so far. I went out to the car and took a photo and it's higher than I thought....and I have a CGS that I show no mercy with too. I use my HHR for city driving and on occasion on the highway, but not on a daily basis. My HHR is 2.2L with a 5spd also.

My DIC says 26, but my daughter (the family genius) figures it to be 23.5 She's pretty darned smart so I'll go with her math
