had to drop off my friend off in Alabama from Michigan i drove an avg of 80 mph so 75-95 mph and was surprised with getting 31 mpg! for a 2000 cavalier 3 speed auto on a 211,600 mile car.... i thought for sure i would get like 25 mpg because of 3 speed auto... did snag a few backed up traffic i am sure it killed my mileage for a little bit.. so i thought it was pretty good mileage for the high speed... with the regal gs that i had if i baby it and use cruise at 70 mph i would hit 31-32 mpg...i remember i would avg 23-25 with the regal at avg of 80 mph...i know jetta diesel can hit 45-50 mpg at 80 mph wished i had that kind of mileage! lol

My 2.2 always seemed to have a sweet spot right about 83mph.
i find it amusing that SHOoff has nothing better to do but follow me around & be an unhelpful dick in even cross-forum. - Jon Mick
49.2 to 24.6 mpg. I seem to do best at about 70 mph on a flat highway in Sasketchewan which is where I got the 49.2. The 24.6 is all city driving in the winter. .

Sweet spot in my 98 2.2 5 speed is about 65. I will see.damn near 40.
The 05 2.2 turbo rarely sees 20 lol
cool glad to see some of you guys are getting pretty good mileage this is on winter gas so you all know we get less mileage... people keep saying the cars in the 80's have better mileage and yeah of course the gas back then was not messed with like now days with bunch of add ons in our gas today

been in the cobalt. not sure i see where the upgrades were. now the cruze. seems gm had a better compact in the 90's, which is ironic because most of the other compacts were built better. all teh j had was power.
