38.5 MPG! Just filled up, this week I ran into very little traffic.

People with tunes need to chime in. I bet after the tune, traffic and around town MPG went up. I am starting to think GM way over fuels to warm up the engine quicker/maintain for emissions.

I know I could have brought that up had I ran it to an 1/8th of a tank. Stupid storm, and stupid panicy petes!

When sonic gets its second gen. it needs to do,this:

1) offer turbo diesel
2) active start/stop technology
3) shave weight 300lbs

Wammo....faster, 60mpg sonic with even more torque.

No need for that right away.... Sonic already meets 2014 Epa cafe of 37 MPG

You arn't going to get much better than that with a 1.8. I was able to get a little better when I had my 1.8 but it was with very few stops and being very careful.

If you want 40+ consistently you need a 1.4 otherwise its just not realistic.

I'll just leave this here...

And whats the point in leaving that here? Should I snap one of our Cruze showing 99?

 

[SSpeckerwood]

Right now its showing 54 so I don't care about what you do with it or your cruze....

Maybe so, but you posted a picture showing 74.2MPG which we all know is impossible to average for any length of time unless you are going downhill the entire time.

 

[SSpeckerwood]

I averaged it for 18 miles. It was done unsafely but I did do it. That was right before it started dropping down. I can't help that you're cooler than me :what:

Not sure what being cooler has to do with it?

What did you do that was unsafe to get that kind of mileage?

 

[SSpeckerwood]

I was tailgating a semi approximately 5' behind it. Then we parted ways and my mpg's went down a bit. It's called running the draft. Used to do it on my Harley till my head almost got took by a tire blowing out
