Kind of surpized no one offered Cobalt XFE as an option, got mine Saturday for $7000 with some free areo hail dents. The 90 mile drive home with 15 miles of city than cruising about 68 for 60 miles, then 55 the rest indicated 42.3 mpg, with the a/c running. Need to get it inspected and titled before I can drive it much more.

Kind of taught my 12 yo boy to drive the manual, my 19 yo girl picked it right up (motorycle experience helps IMO). So 1st tank mpg might be slightly under 40 if the gauge is anywhere close.
