my ride, 2012 lt 1.4t with 6 speed.

this is my baby. it is a 2012 lt with the 1.4 turbo and the 6 speed manual. love the car so far. got 6500 miles on it and it runs great. i am using the elm327 with the torque droid app to watch the turbo and temp. all is great with the car. plan on tricking it out a lot more. all ready changed all the interior lights to leds, tinted the windows and added the pinstripe.
I drive in all kinds of situations and pull a solid 36-37mpg. every tank. this is figured the old fashioned way, not what the car says i get.

Curious. How accurate do you find the onboard mpg avg readout to be? I never rely on them, but wondered if technology has caught up and now a car can have an accurate onboard avg mpg calculator,

Welcome, that Grey looks great.

The few tanks I ran through mine before I left it averaged about 3-4 mpg less than the DIC displayed. It's much worse than my 2010 GMC Sierra 5.3L which is about 1-1.5 mpg off, which is a lot considering the Sonic gets twice the mpg of the truck (as expected).

mine is about 1-2 mpg off. not bad. it is fun to see how high i can get it..
