What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Chevrolet Cobalt

Chevrolet Cobalt Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	2dr Coupe 155-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Around town it's not great, but out on the open road mileage almost doubles. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2009	2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The fuel economy is very good considering the performance available. I typically get better than 25MPG with a fair bit of city driving and fairly heavy throttle. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2009	4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	In mixed driving I get 25 - 26 MPG, even with 75 mph stints and popping in and out of traffic. In pure highway, gets 28+ at 70+ see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2008	4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Better than most North American cars. Lower carbon footprint. Cheaper to run. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Under good highway driving conditions the Cobalt can go 700km on a single tank, but even in harsh conditions fuel economy is reasonable. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Most neighbors report 35 mpg on hyway. here we do mostly high spped highway. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	I like that the 2.4L engine is able to put out significantly more power than the 2.2L and keep the same economy. The SS 2.4L is pretty quick and fun to drive and I still get 28 mpg on average just gunning around town with a lead foot and about 20% high see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD	While not as impressive as some of its competitors, the Cobalt is still good for low to mid 30s if driven properly. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	34 MPG observed - and this from a roomy stylish car that cost me less that 15,000 see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	While the Cobalt may only get 23mpg in real city driving with a heavy foot, it is still relatively easy to achieve 28mpg in the city and 35+mpg on freeway. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review

2010	4dr Sedan 155-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	The best documented rating I could find when looking indicated it still did not rival Fiesta. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Volkswagen Tiguan

Volkswagen Tiguan Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Swapped the paper filter for a K&N filter, kept the original air box. Get over 24mpg city, close to 30 on the freeway w/ moderate hills. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2012	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	For a small crossover/suv its pretty good. Went on a 400 mile round trip to the mountains (5,500ft elevation) for the weekend and back (2,00ft elevation) and averaged 26mpg. Day to day driving I get about 25.5mpg without trying to be conservative. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual AWD	40+ mpg constantly. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review

Volkswagen Tiguan Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Our Tiguan ranges from 20-30 mpg, between city and highway cruising. It's consistently about 5 mpg thirstier than the GTI. Blame the extra weight, but there's less than 400 lbs of that, IIRC. Or blame the AWD, but it's part-time only. I blame the large aero cross-section; it stands about a foot taller than a Golf. If VW would offer a TDI in the Tiguan, they'd sell as many as they could spare to the US market. I'd be standing in line. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Bring the tdi diesel to the US and problem solved. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Less than I had hoped for at around 25mpg average. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Its OK, but could be better. I see 21-22 suburban, as much as 28 on long highway trips. Premium fuel is the bigger drawback. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
