The subcompact Chevrolet Aveo was introduced in the 2004 model year and redesigned for 2006. The Aveo produces respectable gas mileage ratings, with highway ratings of 34 miles per gallon (MPG) for manual transmission-equipped 2008 models. Although it carries Chevrolet badges, the Aveo is built by Daewoo, a subsidiary of General Motors, and is imported from South Korea.
The 2008 Chevy Aveo is available in both four-door (shown above) and five-door configurations. All models are fitted with a 1.6 liter DOHC four cylinder engine that produces 103 horsepower and 107 foot pounds of torque.

Note: the EPA tweaked their testing procedure, starting with the 2008 model year, with the end result being that the 2008 MPG estimates are now lower than previous years. As always, YMMV.

I picked up a 2007 Aveo 5 spd over Xmas when my truck blew an engine and so far I’m averaging 34-40 mpg depending on how many times I have to drive through town, I try to stick to the truck routes that circle town. Thats including some fast, agressive driving also. I’m too used to flying away from lights to get a gap between me and traffic on the motorcycle. The next time I visit the folks (300 miles, mostly rual roads) I’ll set the cruise control at 60 and see if I can break 45mpg.
My mother also has one of these, a 2004 automatic, the main reason why I decided on one. She averages 36 mpg and maxes out at 41 on trips up here to the city (100% hwy), of course she drives much more conservatively than I do.
i have the 2007 chevy aveo 5(manual). in order to get this gas mileage, what speeds do i need to travel on the highway?
Getting 19 mpg in the city on my first tank. 08-manual trans.
2007 Aveo: 18-19mpg AVERAGE of freeway and city. Should be 28-34 as purchased (or 23-31 as told by Chevy AFTER the EPA “adjusted” the mileage. I wonder who paid the EPA to change the mileage numbers?) I have been ripped off. I got 76 miles on the 1st 1/4 tank, 48 miles on the 2nd 1/4, 36 on 3rd 1/4 and 22 on the last 2.5 gallons.
That’s 182 on 11.5 gallons and all of city mileage. Doesn’t the car get lighter with less gas? Shouldn’t the mileage get better as the car gets lighter?
Chevy says NOTHING wrong with car and refuses to admit to it’s got problems.
I just purchased a used 07 Aveo 5 (manual) with 5000 miles on it. I averaged 32mpg on the first tank, mostly hwy miles, probably 1/3 were city, and drove it somewhat conservative. My best friend owns an 07 sedan (auto) and has achieved 44 mpg on the interstate.
Have owned an 06 5 speed manual Aveo for about a year now and if I keep it under 65mph on the hwy I get 42 mpg every time, never got below 35mpg comibined hwy and city driving. Overall very pleased with vehicle.
My mother has an 07 and the best mpg she has seen was 27 on the highway, she is very disappointed with the car. She was looking into having a better flowing exhaust put on when she found out that there is an advisement put out by GM to have the computer adjusted, the dealer said some people are reporting 40+mpg after having it done.
I was just wondering what kind of problems the 2004 Aveo had i am thinking about buying one Any comment will be appreaciated thanks
@Kevin: I have one question for you. How many miles per gallon do you get while you’re stopped at a red light with your engine running?
In other words, City MPG will vary. It’s just an estimate. The more time you spend not moving, stuck in traffic, or at lights, or stopping and going, the worse you MPG will be. It’s not the car’s fault or Chevy’s or a conspiracy with the EPA.
City mileage will always be a mixed bag with conventional vehicles. An idling car wastes fuel, pure and simple.
Most hybrids have the capability to shut down their gasoline engines while at a stop. This saves a considerable amount of fuel.
I’ve driven two awesome non-hybrid European cars that use stop-start technology to improve mileage results: the clean diesel BMW 123d and Mini Cooper D. Stop-start can be a bit startling at first, but you soon become accustomed to it.
Does any one with the Aveo have a loud hum or whistle when going over 75 on the highway?
yeh that whistle in cross winds and over 75 is annoying as heck… got this from another website
Yeah I know what you”re talking about. I had an 07 aveo that did the same thing. It only happened to me when I was driving 85+ though. It’’s not the bearings so don”t go and replace your bearings pre-maturely. If it’’s the same thing as mine was it was a whistling coming from the passenger wheel-well. The plastic lining in mine was a little loose so it made a whistling noise when I hit high speeds. I just epoxied it down and it stopped.
For those of you who are confused with the car’s m.p.g, the tank only holds 10 gallons PLUS a 1.5 gallon reserve. When the gas tank needle touches the empty line, you’ve only used 10 gallons, and not 11.5. In my 05′, I’m averaging about 18 in town and about 34 on the freeway. Which is kinda close to what the EPA stickers said.
Kevin - Man I hate to tell you this but I get that mileage now in my Ranger (4.0 V6). You would think a Aveo would get much better mileage than that?
