Advantages of Better Gas Mileage in the 2009 Chevy Aveo
Saturday, March 7, 2009 0:42
Fuel economy is an important factor to consider when purchasing a vehicle. For instance the Chevy Aveo, in addition to its many other features, boasts a remarkable EPA estimated 34 mpg (miles per gallon). With the higher gas prices experienced this year, along with the current economic downslide, making sure you get the most value for your dollar is essential when buying a new car. Not only will the high gas mileage save you money every day that you own the vehicle, but cars with higher gas mileages tend to have higher resale values, protecting your investment over time.
The secret behind the improved fuel economy in the Chevy Aveo lies in the new ECOTEC engine. Without sacrificing performance, the variable valve timing on the engine results in 27 mpg city and 34 mpg highway, with the manual transmission, and 25 city, 34 highway, using a four speed automatic. Chevy is breaking away from the typical gas guzzling vehicles many Americans associate with previous models. The Aveo is the same American quality you have come to expect, but now with the gas mileage you would expect from an import. When looking for your new car, consider the Chevrolet Aveo and feel what it is like to save money every time you start the engine.

As stated in the article it is important to consider gas mileage when buying a vehicle. Unfortunatly with the current price of gas- on average 1.93 a gallon, it is hard to justify spending an extra 5-7k for a car that only gets 8 or 9 miles more to the gallon. It is important to actually run the numbers to see how long it would take to get the money back.

The reason the Aveo gets 34 MPG is because it’s so smal and it has a tiny engine. People don’t need a huge car, but it needs to fit them. Tall guys like me would never fit in an Aveo. I drive a Grand Prix, which gets only a few MPG less than an Aveo, about 21 city/30 hwy and the Grand Prix is a much larger car.

I was always after mileage features because of, well, mileage. I never knew that those kinds of cars would actually be better investments. I’m gonna take your word on that and see if my car has an okay reseller value.

Indeed the mileage is better but there are some cars like VW Polo which also achieve that. I think that the advantage of this Chevy is that it looks good and works the same, for a fraction of the money

My opinion is that he reason the Aveo gets 34 MPG is because it’s so smal and it has a tiny engine

It may be small but it loks good and if it saves you money and saves the world then it sounds good to me.

The Chevy Aveo’s 34 miles per gallon gas consumption is still pretty impressive for a subcompact car.

Jon you have indeed a point but you can try stop speaking about cars and start speaking about the mileage. In my case, the Chevrolet Aveo is a great car. We are a rent a car company, so any car that saves the money of our customers is indeed a proper solution

I’m 6′4″ an have driven an aveo since 2005. Plenty of head room and leg room. We have had 4 adults comfortably seated in our aveo… great use of space… I’ve driven a grand prix… aveo actually feels like it has more room.

Thanks you for posting this interesting article.
The 34 miles per gallon of the New Chevy Aveo is quite impressive for a regular gasoline powered car. I might consider buying this one for my father. Really cool and nice car, indeed!

Gas prices will go up again and if you buy a Hummer now instead of a small car like the Aveo you will experience the “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me” phenomenon.

My wife drove an Aveo all last year. The gas mileage was great, the only problem she had with it was a severe shortage of cup holders.

Still not sure why people would buy the Aveo over something like the new VW or the TDI Jetta. TDI Jetta’s have been getting around 50MPG for years. Hybrids still dont get even close to that. Is the reason because people want to buy domestic?

I am looking for some other car I can buy and have to admit Chevrolet Aveo looks like a good shoot.
Thanks for the info.

Chevo cars are just too much of a great car to maintain and I don’t see anything great about its style, too. It just tries to hard to be elegant, it looks boring.

Talking about price hikes and everything, the need for gasoline for everyday use for a car has become a necessity and if you’re not practical about it, you can find yourself piled with a lot of debts. It’s really about the car. Do not get a model that is a gas hog. Never. One thing also I found out was never use your credit card to pay for gas. You would be shocked on the interest you would be having. My two cents worth opinion.

I think the Chevy Aveo is comparable to the Scion xA. My wife has the 2005 scion xA, and she has been getting 35+ mpg combine and almost hitting 40 mpg on highways. She dosen’t drive rough like I do…ha…

I’ve never bought or drove Chevrolet cars but recently I had to go to places so one person had a Chevrolet car with whom we went, I was very impressed, it’s design was so small yet it was very powerful. Aveo looks similar too, and ofcourse more mileage is great. I’ve got a car which gives me great mileage too and I am not concerned about having cars which look great but don’t give much mileage. As long as I am reaching to the place, I am happy.

I managed to get hold of one Aveo the other day and took it for a spin. I find it underpower & it handles like a ship. I am happy that I spent a little more for my Honda Jazz/Fit which is significantly better in most aspects.

34mpg is not a lot.. it’s been over 80 years that a typical engine has been made, and the system itself barely changed throughout the years. There are records of engines that were created in the 60’s that got 100mpg+. the reason we still get 20 and 30mph is because it’s profitable for the gas companies.

I think the automaker’s shift to vehicles that are more fuel efficient is the correct approach. For too long now we have manufactured “small boats” that consume way too much fuel , causing stress with individual’s with tight budgets, Chevy has really impressed me with their new line of fuel saving vehicles. Thanks for the info!

As mentioned earlier, American cars are really doing a better job on the gas mileage front. I use to sell cars and can say that the manufacturers have definitely stepped up their game. I feel it’s a shame that more people don’t start buying American again. It’s worth it now!

Since consumers are having to deal with financial hardship, they are also starting to be more concerned about the environment. Obviously less carbon is produced when cars are more economical.

This looks like the kind of car that I need to buy my girlfriend. I myself need to keep the truck but she is always driving racking up miles and the F-150 don’t do to well when it comes to fuel consumptions, with 34 mph it may be worth it to buy her this car

I’m glad that Chevy changed the direction and now it goes to more green vehicles. Aveo is a great car especially if you drive mostly in the city. It’s not just more fuel efficient but you will find easier a parking spot. I was very impressed by recently introduced Chevy Volt and want to see consumer reaction on even more fuel efficient cars like the Volt.

This is a great car for my mother, 34mpg is impressive for an American car and the whole automotive industry. Unfortunately economy class cars lack some must have features like climate control, heated seats, and most important thing integrated automotive gps system because using using portable gps is not very convenient. Fuel economy is a great direction for American automakers.

In the run up to Christmas it seems that motorists will be set to face petrol prices rising to record levels as they fill up their tanks. The RAC has said that petrol prices are set to get to 110p per litre soon and that is the same as £5 a gallon! Prices at that level would equate to a 26% increase on last year’s price of 87p a litre. the Uk is going mad!

Thats a great news for Chevy lovers. Good decision by the manufacturers of Chevrolet to take this green approach. With the wallets tightening due to recession, most people will find this a good bargain. I have heard good things about the new ECOTEC engine and its improved performance from my friends in the auto industry. Agree with one of the above comments by Peter that the car should definitely include climate control and automobile gps systems .
