My 2008 Aveo Sedan...

Well, if you look at the number for this small car, it's not overly impressive. But the price was so that's why I bought it.

Now, here are the EPA ratings for the Aveo...

EPA city 24 mpg(US)
EPA highway 34 mpg(US)
EPA combined aprox 29 mpg(US)

I heard people complain that this little car didn't get good milage.

Well, I proved it wrong. I started to turn off my ignition at long red lights. I coast to lights and stops, I coast down hills, gradual accelaration and RARELY pass 100km/h on the hwy. (I need a cruise cont because the car wants to go 110!)

I was able to pull off the numbers below doing combined hwy/city. I'm really happy about those numbers! Could be better but it's a start and still in the break in period!
