Greetings, A new and happy owner here. I got my new '08 Spectra Blue Mica Pkg 5 about a week ago. My first tank (7.2 gallons worth anyways) got 47.3mpg. I was amazed; especially since I was not very conservative with my driving that tank. I giggled like a schoolgirl for about a half hour after slapping down a $20 to pay for the gas. I'm on my second now and my mileage is running about 56.5-ish using tips from this site. I can't wait for warm spring temps. I also need to figure out the best way to get my Sirius. Oh, the future looks bright. Thanks.
That is what I am talking about. Great mpg! I can picture myself last November '07, when I only have to pay $20.00 dollars for a full tank of gas. Before I was paying at least $55.00.
I still seem to be the only person in the petrol station smiling 6 months later. Congrats on the new wheels and finding this fine forum, Give Me Memphis.
Just filled up mine. Two weeks to the day, went 350 miles and put in 7 gallons. 50MPG and the weather here in Chicago has been COLD! Cost wise, when I used to fill up my H2 it was $90.00 to fill up, this time it was $21.00 for the same driving distance.
Good switch! From $90.00 to $21, that is definitely a no brainer for me. You can never go wrong going 'green'.
It's great, two tanks of gas and hundreds of miles traveled and still less than one tank would normally cost. Even in the Frozen Tundra I have the same results. You gotta love it
