I'm going to be looking at that one next time around. What did you
say about its gas mileage?

I didn't but my 2.4L, 4 Cyl, 5 Spd Manual and A/C is getting 22-23 MPG
in city stop and go traffic.

My guess is about 27-28 MPG on the open road.

BTW, the 2.4L is the only engine equipped with a steel timing belt.

None of that rubber belt, change it at 50,000 miles for me.

Truck won't get away from a snail, but it gets me where I want to go.

While it's design stinks, you can not put a picnic cooler in the trunk,
the opening is to narrow, and you have to tip up the center console to
reach the emergency brake. Around town I get about 34mpg with my 2010
Cobalt. Several times on long trips I have gotten 40mpg, averaged about
37mpg. These trips were 14hours straight @ 70mph on the interstates to
see my brothers.

My Z-24 2002 Cavalier had over 100k when I got hit and it was totaled.
I don't think I ever had any thing but routine service on the car. It
got about 28 around town and 33 on the open road.
