Colbalt's actual MPG-What will it get

Thinking of buying a Colbalt with the 2.2L engine with automatic transmission. Commute is 85 miles per day and 95% is interstate miles. What kind of gas milage will the Cobalt get? Thanks!

30-35 Mpg

You'll get around 30 mpg.

I suggest going to a bookstore and picking up the 2007 Consumer Reports about cars, interesting info about the Cobalt

i get 30 MPG is my SS Supercharged city driving, you should get between 30-35 MPG, i think Chevy rates it at 34 MPG highway.

My 2007 is brand spanking new. I've only got 120mi on it, but IMO, 35mpg is pushing it for the 2.2 and 4T45E auto combo. 5spd manual yes, definately ~35mph hywy. You might get low 30's with the auto at easy, steady hywy speeds. That said, drive one. I can't get enough of mine! Having driven nothing but trucks/suv's/4x4's since 1992, my Cobalt is an absolute blast. Very tight, responsive, cool sound to that Ecotec 2.2L. Sad thing is, the fit/finish of this $12K car beats the heck out of the $25K trailblazer it replaced!

Joel

Jayson, I take it back bud. I'm at about 1200mi now & have been averaging ~33mpg per tank. My dash/DIC consistantly shows 34-36 for my hywy trips to/from work, but I'm not quite seeing that over a full tank. Still though, low thirties isn't too shabby.

Joel

I have a 5sp. I drove from OH to NC and I got 38.5 on the freeway but that was 500+ miles and all freeway. I drive mostly in town and average mid to high 20's and I drive fairly hard.

Hi All,

I have a 2006 Cobalt LS with the 2.2 EOtech and Auto. Trans and I get 37 mpg on the freeway at 70mph with the AC running. The only thing I did to help with the mileage was to replace the air filter with one from K&N. I also run Castrol Syntec synthetic motor oil which has a better drag coefficient. Current mileage is around 18,000 and I am still getting these numbers.

I have a 2006 LS 2.2l Slushbox. I average 33-34mpg daily driving, with about a 40/60 city/highway ratio. However, on a trip to the in-laws that took the car over 2,200 miles, I averaged 47.8mpg on 99% highway. I put about 50 miles on it in town.

Only thing I have done is a K&N Filter Element. I drive conservatively, because I'm a cheap bastich and don't like paying that $30-35 a fill up all too often. I usually get two to two and a half weeks out of a tank if I stretch it.

I just bought a 2007 Cobalt LS last week and on the first tank of gas I averaged 41.8 mpg according to the car. (It took 8.6 gallons of gas to fill it and it has 360 miles on it, so that agrees.) About 250 of those miles were on the interstate at about 65-70 mph.

It's all in the way you drive. If you really want to conserve gas, the best thing to do on the interstate is maintain constant speed close to 65 mph, try to keep behind another vehicle. The Cobalt seems to get about 30-32 mpg driving at 75 with no one in front. It's about 35 with another car 100 feet in front of you. Driving with someone in front of you at 50 mph, the car can exceed 50 mpg. Coasting in neutral whenever possible is a good tip too (with a manual -- this is bad for an automatic transmission). Just remember to rev the engine appropriately so when you put it back in gear the clutch doesn't get worn down.

PS I love my new Cobalt. It's got the 2.2L engine. The 2.4L will get a little less fuel economy. You also lose some fuel economy going to an auto.

Have an 07 Lt 1 2.2 W/Auto & cruise with about 2,900 miles logged to date.

At 200 miles, I made a 2,700 mile trip of which 90% was Interstate. Held the speed limit +2-5 MPH for the most part and didn't use the cruise until almost 900 miles were logged.

Overall my trip averaged 35.26 MPG. Speedo and odomoter accuracy are within 1%. Tire pressures were 38 front 32 rear before leaving on this trip.

FWIW did a fast first oil change with 5W-30 Pennzoil Platinum at 1,500 miles & installed a magnetic drain plug. Since I'm an Amsoil dealer I'll do the next change with Amsoil 5W-30 ASL.

Overall my trip averaged 35.26 MPG. Speedo and odomoter accuracy are within 1%. Tire pressures were 38 front 32 rear before leaving on this trip.

Good numbers. Wow, talk about grabbing her off the lot & going on a road trip! I'm at ~4500mi on my 2007 2.2, auto. If I don't reset the MPG on the DIC for several tanks of fuel, it will always level out to the mid 33mpg range. That matches up perfectly with calculating MPG = miles driven / gallons pumped into the tank for my mostly hywy usage.

Joel

Forgot to mention that during this 2,700 mile trip the AC was on for less than 500 miles total.

"If" you go by the DIC, the AC will cost you a tad over 1 MPG while cruising at highway speeds.

You'll get around 30 mpg.

Just remember, anything consumer Reports says, do the opposite They haven't been correct on anything in many years....

Coasting in neutral whenever possible is a good tip too

Where do you guys get this stuff? First of all, coasting in netural is illegal. It isn't safe..! Second, it isn't hard on an automatic trans... If you don't know what you're talking about, don't post..!

Since when is it illegal to pop it into neutral once in a while if your going down a long escalating hill or something of the sort? I'm not saying its a smart thing to do, but I have never heard an official law saying its illegal to do. :2cents:


Just figured I should chime in here in case people ever do come in here anymore. I averaged about 37mpg this weekend with mostly all highway traveling.

4 posts on AF and Donn2390 is: A finance expert, an accident investigator and a traffic cop. Keep up the good work Don! :lol:

Bought a used 2007 LS with 5speed with 4000miles on it for $9350 simply love it for the money.Im getting 40.3 on trips running 44psi in tires and hypermiling.

It's got to ride like a shopping cart with 44psig in stock tires! I'd be careful with that. I could see ~40mpg per the DIC on some trips, but you wont average 40mpg over a tank of gas.

Hey Joel

For the heck of it, I pumped mine up to 40 across the board one day. Yup just like riding a board.

Found that at 38 ft and 32 rear the mileage, per the DIC, dropped a whole .5 MPG. FWIW I like my butt where it is and not up around my neck plus I like how the car handles with the current PSI setting.

Going on a second cross country trip in a few weeks. Now I've got the good oil in her and about 5K miles on it. Should be interesting to see if I can hold my earlier #s with the cooler temps.

chow

Well my reply to you two is that my tires are rated for 44psi and as for it riding like an iron tired wagon, well maybe a little rougher but after all I did not buy this care for a great ride. For that I got a cadillac STS touring sedan with air ride supension. It Floats on the Highway.
I average 34mpg on a tank of gas and my best has been 42mpg. Basically stock except all fluids ar synthetic including wheel bearings and hubcaps are spun aluminum moonies.

It is illegal in every state in the union..! Ceck your local vehicle code.. Now way in heck..., is it legal to put your vehicle in nutural while on the highway.... Don't just listen to your buddies in the lockler room,... check the laws...........

How about doing me a favor and working on your grammar a bit here before posting next time...

Also, I did not say that I was listening to anybody in here about whether or not it was illegal. I was just questioning your statement for a fact. If you think about it, how are they going to fight such an issue when you are technically putting it into neutral whenever you push the clutch in to shift gears on manual transmissions? If you were truly correct then that would be insisting that it is illegal to properly shift a manual transmission in every state... Now, I know that your going to argue and say that you were talking about automatic transmissions and not manuals. Ok, but neutral is neutral whether it be in an automatic or manual. So technically they cannot enforce such a law or prove whether or not you were truly in neutral while going down the road...


Don't just listen to your buddies in the lockler room,... check the laws...........
How about this... I do not have any "buddies" in the locker room that I am listening to. And who are you to be any different than the next guy in his opinion on this matter? For all we know, you could be pulling this "law" straight out of your ass and making it up as you go. Instead of just saying it is and that I should check the laws, how about YOU check the laws and prove it to us if it is so true? Then maybe we will actually believe you. Until then, I won't believe a thing you say about this "neutral law" and I will stand where I stand in my opinion...

Oh and just so we are on the same page, I don't mean for you to call somewhere, find out, and then just tell us somebody told you. I mean post a link to this law on an official government website... :wink:

As far as enforcing it? No chance in Hell..! I have done it,, still not legal..

So I will believe you now on the aspect of it being a law in Michigan. But... That does not give you the right to say I never took drivers education. You should know better than to say such an ignorant thing. :nono:

Just because it is true in Michigan still doesn't mean it is true in ALL states as you have stated...


As far as enforcing it? No chance in Hell..!
Exactly my point...


I have done it,, still not legal..
Wait a minute... You just got done saying it wasn't safe a few posts ago, yet you just admit that you have done it before. Even despite the fact that you knew it was illegal... And then you even turn around and preach to others about not doing it despite your own actions... Did you actually get busted doing it or something?

at 70mph i got 38-41 highway bofore i put in my 120lb subs. since then i get 35-38 highway. you cant really judge city driving because everybody drives in different conditions in the city.

Where do you guys get this stuff? First of all, coasting in netural is illegal. It isn't safe..! Second, it isn't hard on an automatic trans... If you don't know what you're talking about, don't post..!
int the state of Mi, its also illegal to swear in front of women and children. and while we're at it, what about the law about how a woman cant cut her hair unless her man approves it? its a law that isnt enforcable, isnt enforced, and isnt dangerous at all. i have a 5 sp. every day i come home from work and i coast down a mountain. the car hold 72 mph the entire 2.3 miles down it. aside from going 7 mph over, not a prob at all. how about coming to a stop at lights? am i summposed to stall my car as i come up? no. i coast up in neutral. get real man.

Now back to the cobalt....I am considering getting an SS with a 5 speed, I only seen one post on its mpg. Is it really 30 mpg too?

i drove to philly last weekend. i got 39.4, thats almost all highway. i made it from philly to blairsville, pa and had more than a quater tank left after i got home. andif you dont know these parts of pa, theres alot of hills to climb. driving thru pittsburghs rush hours i get about 33 in the city traffic.

idk how you guys are getting 30mpg i have a Cobalt Lt 2.2L and im only getting 20.3mpg. wats up with that??

let me give yo a couple examples. i drive thru pittsburg every day for work. on the way there its about 6am so im barley hittin the tip of morning rush hour and im doing 70-90mph. i get out at 4 and get to the city by 430. i sit in the traffic moving less than 15 miles an hour stop and go for two hours 5 days a week. im still gettin 33 in that crap. i jsut got back from a 3800 mile trip. not following a semi i got 37-39mpg the whole trip. when i was behind a semi, i got 40-42 mpg. even on one tank i stopped in Ga., i slept for 6 hrs. i left the car running the entire time. i still got 31mpg on that tank. i bought my 2 dr ls 2.2L man. trans cobalt one year and two weeks ago. i currently have 48,906 miles on the car. i use mobil1 only. i have a gm cold air intake. and the thing is, i get that kinda mileage with a 155lb sub, 200lbs of dynomat, a floor jack, and a cordless impact in the car. and of course luggage when i travel.

with all this in mind, i have no dea how you are getting the mpg you are getting. the only thing i can figure is that you are in need of a tune up and/or you need to change yer driving style. i consistantly get 33city and 38 hwy.

I now have 7,300 miles and mpg has improved.

Average 33mpg if I drive responsibly.

Best was 37mpg when I drove 55mph, cruise all the time, no jack rabbit starts.

Rarely get below 31mpg and that is driving 'with traffic'.

My drive consist of 10 miles city, 30 miles hwy each way.

Kyle, you need to analyze your driving style. I couldn't get 20mpg if tried!

My Cobalt - 07 LT, coupe, auto.

Roger

I have a 06' SS 2.4L Cpe. I get around 27mpg on local roads with min-moderate traffic going 15 miles to and from school. The mpg is still going up. Havent driven on the highway yet my guess is that it would get around 36 or so depending on how heavy your foot is! :evillol:

I have a 2.0L Supercharged Cobalt SS. I get on average 24mpg. thats with a light foot, occasional heavy boosting. My buddy has the Ion Redline and we got 19mpg once i think... so i dont know how you manage to get 30mpg on an SS.... unless its the SS1 non-supercharged one.

25mpg is about the maximum you will see in a SS/SC. I get 24mpg driving 45-60 mph most of the way.

I'm with Kyle122390 in saying, I don't know how you guys do it. My fiance's '06 Cobalt LT Sedan 2.2L Eco.Auto has never, and I mean NEVER ever gotten better than 28mpg. Even on Long trips. We were promised from the dealer from day one, 32-35 or even better mpg.......yeah, BS!!! It's pretty bad when we have to take my '96 Monte Carlo LS (3100) on long trips cause it gets near 30mpg and the Cobalt sits in the garage. Have any of you guys that have the K&N filters ever had problems with the MAS getting filter oil on it and causing problems? Are there any other tips you can give me to possibly make this car perform any better at the pump that isn't too costly like a cold air intake? Don't get me wrong, it's a nice car, and snappy as hell, but I'm just pretty unhappy with the mpg. If she wasn't so upside down on her payments, we would have gotten rid of it already....

I dont drive fast at all. My dad says its fine, but reading this over and over again makes me feel like something is wrong about my car. My oil life is i think 76% i know i need new oil but that shouldnt change the MPG much. There are alot of stop lights by where I live. but seriously it shouldnt be down to 20.6mgp. Thats where im at now. It has 15020 miles on it now. It does seem quicker then other cobalts. Ive beaten a V8 before soo idk maybe the pre-owner out somthing in there. What should I do

I'm getting 28 on my Cobalt SS Supercharged. The computer sez 31 but checking it the old fashioned way, I calculated 28.17mpg=307miles/10.9gal

i have a 1996 impala ss and when i did the boston to baltimore trip i got 25mpg...at 70mph with 2 people and luggage....


my son has shown an interest in this cobolt vehicle because of mpg....


my daughter has 98 monte 3.8 L and she gets 25 mpg ave. in town/hywy combo ..

I hit 28.4 mpg. amazing occurance, as the next one resulted in a 22.1 mpg :D it had to make up for it I guess. then again I had 5 races on that tank.

sierra, i drove from pittsburg to harrisburg on friday. at no point in that trip was i doing less than 90mph. for more than 80 miles i quite literally had the pedal on the floor, driving it at the governed limit. with my ac on, my 294lb friend riding shotgun, and both our luggage. even with driving like an ass like that i STILL got 28.8 mpg. i have an 07 cobalt lt 2.2l man trans no option coupe. the only things i have done to it are i put a gm cold air intake on it, i use mobil 1, and i run my tires at 36psi. absolutly nothing else. after harrisburg i went to philly and then to dc. it wasnt till jsut outside dc that i even had to get gas. and even with all that traveling i only put in 11.78 gals of gas. i dont know what to tell you guys. maybe that k&n is screwing things up i dont know. hell, i even have a 155lb sub in my trunk and 120lbs of dynomat throughout the car. ive added alot of weight to it and i still do great. maybe you have a "lemon".

SS/SC owners, regap your plugs to .34 and you should see about 5 more MPG, i did.

On the freeway my wife's 06 LS gets routinely 36-37 mpg.

I rented a Cobalt LS last July from Enterprise. With 4 people in the car doing 80% hwy driving (some of it through the cascade mountains) we averaged about 38 mpg over the course of about 10 fill-ups. I was very pleased.

I get about 38 to 42 mpg with my 07 5 speed cobalt at 70 mph. But I have a turbonator in it,

hey cobalt 66, what is a turbonator? Got a '06 LS with a K&N installed 'bout 2 weeks ago. If I can squeeze a few more MPG's with a 'turbonator', I'll invest in one.

hey cobalt 66, what is a turbonator? Got a '06 LS with a K&N installed 'bout 2 weeks ago. If I can squeeze a few more MPG's with a 'turbonator', I'll invest in one.

An absolute ridiculous waste of money. Also, there isn't a Cobalt out there that averages 38-42mpg tank to tank. Could you do it for a partial tank trip or short highway run? Possibly. By calculating average MPG over a tank of fuel you'll get more like the low, possibly 34-35mpg max, 5spd manual or automagic.

Joel

My dad has a 06 LS and it consisitently gets 33-34 MPG.

My 09 Cobalt XFE sedan (LS with no factory power options, aftermarket cruise control which works great) is consistently getting 37 mpg with 4000 miles on the odo. Little or no city driving, almost entirely rural Missouri Ozarks twisting, hilly county and state roads. Average speed at posted speed limit or slightly below (lots of deer around here). DIC Avg MPG agrees very well with calculated mpg based on tank fills and miles driven.

Nice! Are you digging your XFE? Mileage will probably improve some as she breaks in. I contemplated getting aftermarket CC a year or two ago, but prices were way high like $400+ with a dealer BCM reprogramming. FWIW, I'm just under 30Kmi and can average as high as 32mpg tank/tank.
Joel

The XFE is great. WORST tank so far has been 33.5 mpg when brand, spankin' new.

The biggest complaint I have about it is the BAD Continental tires. Before winter rolls around again, they will be replaced, regardless of the condition and the mileage.

The Rostra CC works every bit as good as the factory unit, in my opinion. The local dealer (Bolivar, MO...no sure if I can mention the name) only charged $32.50 to enable it in the BCM.

Oh, yeah, I sure wish I had a spare tire and jack instead of the inflator...but I also haven't had a blow-out since 1994. Plus, OnStar is free for a year!

Oh man you're not kidding about the Continental tires. You should try a Buffalo winter with them :uhoh:. First winter wasn't too horrible, but this past winter was a nightmare. They were fairly well worn at 24Kmi, but I've still got them on at 29K.:screwy: Bad thing is IMO, even for a lowly LS model, replacement (name brand) tires are $100/ea on the low end! That's ridiculous for a vehicle I bought new for ~$12K. I'm gonna wind-up mail ordering new tires and take them to a shop to have them mounted/stemmed/balanced. What's the word on replacement tires for the XFE? Are they something special on that model? No spare is scary for sure. Good deal on the CC for you! With the economy the way it is, I could prolly get it done cheaper now than before.

Joel

From what I've seen, replacement tires for the XFE are no big deal. I bought my '09 sedan in January (first weekend of the year, was about 70+ in Missouri, perfect time to buy a new car) and it has the Continental Touring Contact AS 195/60-15s A friend from work bought an '09 LS XFE coupe within the past two weeks, it has Goodyear Integrity tires, same size. I haven't heard of any changes in sourcing. Maybe it's just a matter of GM being "cut-off" by Continental due to financials? As a rule, I like Goodyear, but I've heard mixed reviews of the Integrity line.

BTW, I chose to have a shop install the cruise for me, even though the install looks easy as pie. Not only did the dealer enable the BCM, they also referred me to the shop that did it. Total cost: $374.48 I've seen the kits as low as $118, mostly they run around $178 or so.

Update on last tank mpg: 37.2 based on fill-up, 37.3 avg from DIC

No kidding. I thought I read the XFE had 'special low rolling resistance' tires. My 2007 LS model has the same exact Continental 195/60-15s. I've never had good luck with Goodyear tires either for that matter. I typically buy Coopers, but the only 195/60-15's I can find locally are pushing $100/ea + tax!:screwy: Yeah, my DIC almost always settles out at around 32mpg, but if I calculate it out full tank to full tank it's a bit less. Goin' way off topic, but if I followed my oil life monitor to a "T", I'd go WELL past 10Kmi between oil changes. I don't go that far. I do 2 OCs a year at about 7Kmi between OCs.

Joel

I have a 4 cyl '07 LT. I regularly make trips back home to NC which is about 250 mi one way. Last time I went home, on the way back, by the time I reached my home exit, I had maxed up to 34.2 mpg. No lie. I have a pic on my Car Domain page to prove it. The dealership when I bought it last year was only advertising 32 mpg on it, but I exceeded that. If I try to recreate that awesome gas mileage, I think the A/C was off, and I was riding CC most of the way at about 70-75mph. Just a word of advice, once you run the A/C, the gas mileage shuts way down to around 20-25 mpg. I still love my 'Balt, I'm so happy I got it.
