Another factor is in the winter they put something in the gas so every one suffers...
It's called ethanol. And it kills your gas mileage.

I guess thats true, but that just seems absolutely insane. Do you have the 2.2? and use some kinda crazy gas?

my mileage is my biggest complaint- i have a 2008 2.2 bought in Dec. in mixed driving i'm getting a best 24 mpg.

my 2001 olds alero 4 cyl had 182,000 miles on it and i was still getting 27 mpg in city only.
