I ran out of spots in the poll and I wasn't sure where to fit it in. Plus there wasn't any trans ams on here that I could find at the time. Feel free to join anyway if you have one.
Btw I love the baja those are such cool cars.

I took a trip with the sunfire up to my brother and sister in law's place this weekend. It did much better than I expected on the freeway. 36 mpg up, and 37.5 mpg back! I'm impressed. That was at 65 mph too. That bumped my tank mileage up to 34.
And, then this morning I got a new best trip into work at 39.8! My previous best was in the mid 37 range. SO close to breaking 40!  |

I filled up the Sunfire this afternoon. It is a shorter fill than normal. I'm borrowing the car to a friend while I work on his Saturn. Still, the mileage was pretty darn good. Only a hair down from my last tank, I averaged 34.7 mpg.

That's pretty good. I bet you'll break the 40 mpg barrier sometime soon.

I was looking at a cobalt in a parking lot today and noticed that the mirrors seem to be much more aerodynamically shaped than the ones on my car but the panel tha connects to the door also looks similarly shaped and sized to the one on my sunfire. I wonder if it would fit.

I filled the Sunfire up today. Its the first time driving it since getting it back from working on my friend's Saturn. There was 160 miles on the odometer, 4.55 gallons. He got 35 mpg! Better than my best tank haha. Dang you short commute...  |

Filled the Sunfire again the other day. I only managed a 31 mpg tank this time. I think it was down due to letting others drive it and the colder mornings.

Hi all, looks like I missed out on Team Pontiac :-(. We would have been a few spots higher if I was driving the ole Grand Am still haha! 3.1l Automatic appears to have trounced several 5 speed 4cyl cars haha!
I am driving the Grand Slam again starting this winter, maybe I can bring us back up a little more aye?? Not hoping for too many 33+ MPG tanks in the cold and snow but I'll take what I can get.

Just filled up again last night, probably for the last time in the Sunfire. The Metro is ready enough to be on the road. I averaged a pretty good 33.1 mpg over the past ~450 miles. I say pretty good because its really started to cool off here, and thats my 4th best tank with this car.
