HHR SS 5 speed

Betcha you don't pay $200 a month to heat your home half the year.
I'll take $4.11 gas over my $3.85 a gallon for 12 months of nice weather and next to nothing heating bills.
I have three sons living in the peoples republic of California, they hate the gas prices and are jealous of my MPG (what is with the gas out there) so I tell them come on home. They rather stay.

Geeeeezzzzzzzz is the word.......it's about time people slow down.....It saves lives and improves gas mileage.....both important.........and at the price gas is now and it will be much higher in mid summer......lowering the speed limit.....55mph on most highways....and 60 mph on the interstates. It's happened before and can happen again.....My 2cents worth....ww

My salesman gave me a "complementary" fill up with 87 when i bought the HHR 30 days ago. I didn't notice any difference. I didn't go WOT until almost 1500 miles on the motor. I run either 93 or 94, but I'll try 87 on my next trip to PA and see if I can average over 33mpg.

Maybe you can have a talk to my right foot about keeping out of boost. It is having too much fun under pressure

I disagree c2vette
I challenge you to get 36 mpg for a full tank (fill up after 515 miles cause I won't come an pick you up off the highway) while going over 62 mph. We have 2 liters, and when out of the boost they are working their butts of (read maximum efficency) keeping us moving. So going faster is just pushing more air. Not increasing economy. And to eliminate the need for a retort, just drive on the highway, (lol) slowdown to 62 and find a long SLACK hill and take it out of gear and GLIDE. See if you accelerate. See if you maintain speed. See if you slow down. Note how steep of a hill is required to accelerate over 62 mph. The air infront of your vehicle is analogus to a parachutte out back. I can't see how dragging a larger parachutte (read driving over 62) will make your efficency go up. BTW, your already in 5th by 35mph let alone 62.
