Doubt I ever get close to Fr3AkAzOiD numbers, but going to have to bump my goal to 50 cause 45 seems to come easy.

I believe in 09 all manuals are XFE's not sure about 2010's but I doubt they'd changed anything being the last year of production.
Not all manuals are XFEs, you can get LTs (very rare) and SS versions with a manual. The SS would be sweet for lean burn with its GDI and manual.

I average about 48mpg year round with my 010, its fairly easy to peak 50mpg when its warm out but quite difficult in the winter months, I loose 10mpg easy in the winter.

I would love to get a 2nd cobalt XFE but sadly my $11k brand new 010 seems like a steal compared to the used market

Good Luck
Ryan
