Aveo MPG

[MetroMPG]

FYI, that's not my graph - it's this guy's:

Speed vs. Fuel Economy - 2004 Chevrolet Aveo sedan (1.6 L, 4-sp automatic)- EcoModder.com )

He measured those MPG values doing 2-way runs at each speed indicated. So they represent what your car would be getting at that speeds on a level road - it doesn't take into account the fuel used getting up to that speed, different weather conditions, etc.

His actual fuel log from EcoModder shows tanks in the low to mid 30's:



You CAN get tank to tank MPG in the 40's with an Aveo, but not likely with the automatic. You'd need the manual for that, very careful driving techniques and a MPG-friendly commute.

Daox averaged 40 mpg in his Aveo:


From thread: Rescued Aveo :: 2005 Chevrolet Aveo (Garage entry)


From: Efficiency log for: Daox's Aveo - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo SVM

But he had a manual transmission, and he's what you'd call an expert eco-driver, plus his commute is MPG-friendly.

Pretty consistent.

Have you implemented any changes to the car or driving style? Thinking about getting an MPG display?

[new2aveo]

No real changes, i would like to get an mpg gauge but i dont want to spend the money.

Your aveo most likely has an extended display in the center of the speedo cluster under a sticker above the odometer. You can hook up your own switch and I believe you will get a MPG display option.. There is a thread about it here, somewhere.

[new2aveo]

Could you recommend a switch?

Thanks, rabbit! I'll see if I can dig up that thread. I missed that one.

I took a look quickly for the thread. I am going to look more when I have more time.
