I have a 2006 SS supercharged stage 2 and get about 28 city and 32-38 hwy. I accomplished 38 on a trip to the beach late in the evening this past summer. The trick is to keep it out of boost til you need the extra power!

I recently bought an 05 Cobalt as well, Evelyn, I’ve found that turning the heater off when I’m on the last stretch of a trip has made the mileage improve slightly. In October I was getting 30-31, it’s gone down to 28-29 now that I need the heater. I’m still not content with a mere 31ish mpg, I keep thinking we should be well beyond that. The next vehicle I obtain will be no less than 100 mpg, I hope the Cobalt holds out until that time comes….

@Evelyn The onset of cold weather can lower gas mileage. Are you warming the car up in the morning? The longer it idles, the more gas it’ll burn …

I bought a 2005 Cobalt in July. The gas milage has been around 30 MPG. The last few weeks it has been dropping. Today it was 28.9. Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this. Thanks

I bought a new Cobalt in 2005 because it was inexpensive. It has been great! There are no frills but it has served me well. With the gas prices going up, I’m even more grateful for a car with terrific gas milage. I drive 17 miles each way to work. It isn’t fancy but it is very dependable.

I bought a 2007 Cobalt, and I’ve had it for barely 2 weeks and I love it! It gets 30.8 mpg on the highway and 28.9 mpg in the city! They’re almost better than hybrids!

I drove a 2008 rented Cobalt from LA to Las Vegas and back. Drove at normal traffic speed. Got 28.5 mpg. This was a striped car – no cruise or power. The least pleasant car I have ever driven.

I rented a 2008 cobalt in September of 2008 With only 5 miles on the odometer and I got 38 miles to the gallon on the freeway by driving conservativly.
