you should really check out other b-segment car forums...they are getting the same mpg as we are....what mpg are you getting?

I can't complain. I do over 40mpg(Imperial 1Gallon = 1.2US Gallon) at 70mph.

doesnt anybody know? online petitions dont do a dogon thing!!! and besides the MPG are ESTIMATES, so that means 36 mpg highway and 26 in the city would be under PERFECT road conditions, i.e no turns, no slowing down or speeding up, just one speed all the time without stopping. So even though our cars dont actually get that mileage because we dont drive under "perfect" road conditions, it is mentioned on the window sticker that you mileage WILL VARY.

Actually the road test is at an average 50mph with a top speed of 60. The speed does vary but the test reflects going through villages...not actual highway speeds.

Yes they are estimates. People need to realize that 36mpg also has a statistical interval. Even if you go to the dealership and they test the vehicle, if your's is in the interval, there is nothing wrong with your car. Since the EPA test only a few engines, the interval can be quite wide.

well its great for you that are actually getting that mileage... but when i get 26mpg going hwy. or 19mpg city i get a bit frustrated. Its great that you are getting great mileage, but i'm not and you don't have to be rude about it.

I try never to be rude, sorry if I sounded like I was. I was just saying because not many engines were tested, the estimates might be off by quite a lot. Like ave0sam said, it's a problem with all b-segment cars, not just the aveos.

I know that the 2007's in Canada are rated 48mpg and mine is rated for 46 (2006)...I don't know where the extra 2mpg came from. ECU upgrade maybe.

then there is something wrong with your car or how you are driving it...im just saying its not all aveos that have your problem....its just like when two people had their tranny mounts break, they the owners thought it was a problem with all of them but in reality it was just a bad apple....

too many bad apples if u ask me, lol, i also get crappy mileage, really crappy 17-20 mpg city
