Say Hello To My Little Friend!
No this will most likely be seeing the autocrosses.. might try it once... we shall see.
Got this to keep the miles off of the cavalier, and help build credit!
$287 a month, 34 mpg (so it says) and only $30 more a month in insurance to have both cars on!
its a good deal!
speed is relative... ...but the feeling is absolute

it looks like a chevy aveo, but I had to make sure before I started cracking the jokes.

If someone puts an average of 10k+ miles/year on a full-size truck or SUV, the difference in fuel expense would pay you to operate a car like this for a good four or five months of the year. I'm surprised more people aren't in these cars.

260 hp + D.I. + 10.5 C.R. = 34 hwy, 26 city (actual). I heart my dub.AutoXChris wrote:First Tank... 27.8 MPG....

In any case you are still on break in lube. Quite a few people report a bit better milage after the factory oil comes out with the first change...
Side question: What's the oil spec for that car according to the manual?

Penzoil Platinum Full-Synthetic seems to perform well, also. You may like to, as I do, read people's results on bobistheoilguy.com. Great place to spend time on the internet!AutoXChris wrote:5W-30... Looking at ither castrol Synthetic or Mobil 1magilson wrote:[
