I've driven the same route to work for seven years and would have said before February that it was flat. The scan gauge has proven that to be a false perception. I've slowed down and started using the topography to advantage. Instead of trying to maintain a speed I drive to maintain an MPG. Slowly I've been able squeeze the MPG out, but I think I've hit the wall (48mpg), so am looking for some mods to assist me in my quest for 53 mpg. But if the Aveo doesn't get good MPG I'd say check the foot on the driver before blaming it on the vehicle. I have 3 vehicles and what I learn on the Aveo has translated nicely to a 94 Chevy short bed 4.3 and a Honda CRV so I'm thinking it was the driver all along. My daily drive takes 7 minute longer each way, but I enjoy it more. I don't miss those 14 minutes out of my day, but I'm an old man. I'm just glad you still can teach and old dog new tricks.
