Gas Milage is there a better way?
Why does the Aveo (Suzuki Sprint, Pontiac Wave, Daewoo Kalos) get better Gas Milage than the Lanos 1.6, same engine but is the E-Tech 2 what makes the difference and what is it that is difference? Is it the weight? Does my Lanos need a diet?
Hmmm that is strange cause in my Aveo going back and forth to work and one ocasional run costs me about $10 a week on gas. On the highway it seems I go through gas faster since once I hit 65 the rpms are around 3000 but 55 is much better at 2500 rpms. Now this car is only two weeks old so will see how good it is in a few thousand miles.
I also have learned the best way to shift from an Austrailian that gets 31 MPG's to the gallon in his Aveo. Shift up no more than 2500 RPMS and down shift at 1500 RPMS. It is not always possible tho but I try to be good about shifting.
