Ahh i think its funny that hes got a accent getting better MPG's than the aveo.. I had a accent, smae generation as his, was a great little car and was.. think they still are .. the lowest cost car in the USA.. maybee the aveo took that spot, i got mine new for $9200. sold it to a buddy and hes getting 42mpg with out hypermiling it.. but doing lots of 55mph highway driving. The EPA rating on accents are way off in my opinion i had 205/50 15" tire on it and it did 36mpg average with out trying to get MPG's..

As for the aveo, they seem to be decent cars however I think they could get more mPG from them than they do get. Even with your tactics of saving fuel the EPA on chevies cobalt XFE is right up there and i bet a XFE could break 42 with hypermiling tricks.
