Re: 2005 Cavalier
What are you getting? My '03 Eco 5 speed never gets less than 30.

I would take it back to the dealer and have them check it out. My new 04 coupe is very good on mileage. I have had new cars need a new fuel pum two months after I bought it. Anything can go worng even with new cars.
I doubt this problem is anything anyone here can help you with. |

Re: 2005 Cavalier
Remember, fuel economy will be lower until the engine breaks in and the cylinders rings seat for maximum compression.

Re: 2005 Cavalier
I bought mine brand new, and if the gas mileage was any lower before it was broken in, it was not noticeable. Other cars could be different, I guess.

Re: 2005 Cavalier
That is because it is not broke in yet.

Re: 2005 Cavalier
I have over 16,000 miles on mine, if the mileage ever gets any better than the 30+ mpg I get all the time, that would be awesome. LOL

Re: 2005 Cavalier
I have a 2004 cav and i turbocharged mine.
The thing still gets good gas mileage with a fuel pump injectors and a regulator i avg 26-28 mpg if i dont' get on it. I would definitly ask the dealer to check it out. |
