 I just purchased my 2009 Chevy HHR a few weeks ago. I am currently on the vehicles first highway trip. As is normal, I've been keeping to my 55 mph rule. This vehicle is proving to be a stunning performer for fuel mileage. This vehicle has the 2.2L flex fuel capable four cylinder engine and 5 speed manual transmission. My initial stretch between my home and Amarillo, TX., netted 38.3 mpg by the car's computer. When double checking the computer with a calculator, the calculator showed 39.1 mpg! This is not to be outdone. As I pulled into the driveway of my folks house in the car's computer was posting 40.4 mpg. If the computer is being consistent, and has posted a figure .8 mpg lower than calculated, this will result in a figure of 41.2 for the stretch. This is all uphill from the Texas area. I have included a picture of the computer with the car in the driveway.
