    Question Quick questions before buying.

    Im coming from a cobalt that gets 32 mpg all around, and fuel consumption is a big issue for me when it comes to a 4 cyl.
    I have seen mixed reviews on this so what kind of MPG are other Auto Tran owners getting all around?
    Also does the high reving engine get annoying or is it cool?
    What rattles etc are you experiencing?


    I would not be grandma driving but smoothly accelerating up to about 80- 85 on highways and just slow acceleration to speed limit on the streets.

    I get about 240 miles on 3/4 a tank (14 gal) but I do 90% city driving in rush hour :'( so about 23 MPG. I've seen people get 400 miles in a tank though. (28 ish MPG)

    well let me just say this, if you want a really good gas saving car....
    (srry tc) but get a honda civic 95.... we have one, its manual and we get about... 45/50 out of it
    it only has an exhuast and intake, thats the only mods. and if you drive slowly and roll alot you could get 55 out of it, but driving normally we get about 40 easy
