Great website. I want to improve the FE of my 2007 Pontiac Vibe with autom. transm. I tought those small vehicules were a little better on FE. My other car was a VW Jetta 1.8T (manual) with an Upsolute fuel efficient performance chip and the FE was as good and sometimes better than the
small, weak and light Vibe.
Anyway i really think all small cars with small engines could do at least a little better right out of the dealer.
I'm doing around 35mpg on highway at 60mph, i may be a little optimistic but i would like to reach 45mpg. I don't want to make major mods like body jobs or transm. gearing but maybe with several minor mods and driving habits i could reach this goal maybe more (??).
I just received my new ScanGauge, it will be very helpfull.
