24/33 for the manual transmission are pretty good fuel economy numbers. I beat the highway numbers on a long trip by a few points if I keep it at 65 mph (a/c on). see full Pontiac G5 review

The G5 blends the mileage and power that I was looking for in a car that would do primary duty for commuting to work and back. Was looking to get 30-33 mpg. see full Pontiac G5 review

Average 25 miles per gallon seems quite low for this size car, even if it has a six cylinder engine. see full Saturn L-Series review

It...sucks. For a 190hp v6 I expected 23 or more. I get as low as 17 in the winter, and I max out at 25 at any time in the year all highway. With new plugs I am getting 21-22 around the suburbs, compared to 18/19 earlier. see full Saturn L-Series review

It is way too much fun to drive this car fast, and it will use a lot of fuel if you have a lead foot. Save the high revs for special occasions, and highway mileage can be close to 30 mpg. see full Saturn L-Series review
