I just don't know what am I doing wrong, I drive an american-made Chevrolet Evanda RTX (133 hp). Last week I've got 33 MPG in another trip, and for some reason this one went better than that one I made today.
Any advice?  |
Just to nitpick: If the Google results I'm getting for Chevrolet Evanda are correct, you drive a car made in South Korea by GM's Daewoo division (although it's branded as a Chevy).
From what I've read about Daewoo products, they tend to do worse than other vehicles in their class for fuel economy. While there are things you can likely still do to improve your fuel economy, your expectations may be a bit high.
They're certainly nice looking cars though, so there's that.
