However, having to rebuild an engine always knocks few stars of the ratings.. On nice day with the top down, there is nothing finer.

The joureny took about miutes longer than last time when got mpg with air on at avg. Rod wrote have seen on my Aveo up to miles per gallon in the city and an average of 30 miles in the city. By the way about 30mpg in the CIty with no air. All the bestNicholasPS the mpg is true, we filled up at start and topped up at home…both my wife and were surprised. am still in college and am trying to push as much horse power out of it as can while trying to stay on budget.
But Im sure that the mileage in the city it is not so easy to better than 26MPG, but is possible. in Flanders, New JerseyReply .Report Abuse. Judge it!.
think that GM made good choice buying Daewoo, and not inventing the wheel again. Sorry for my english, hope my comment can help youReply .Report Abuse. Judge it!.2Apr 2, 2006 Yes, on the highway you can 40MPG or better. all the way to the back with Magnaflow muffler. between 3233 MPG.

No air on and cruising at an average of 30 miles in the city. By the way about 30mpg in the CIty with no air. All the bestNicholasPS the mpg is true, we filled up at start and topped up at home…
