whats up guys im new here sop whats up yall
so on monday 3/28/11 i got a chevy colbalt 2009 with 35g miles on it for 10g

ok the next day i filled up the gas and went home ok, 2 days later my gas is over the half tank sign!!!! i put 213 miles on it. here to work and back (for 2 days) i did the math and found out that im roughly getting 16 mpg
so im all like WTH!!!! 16!!!
any ideas ( should i take it back to the dealer and see whats up or something)
cuz im atleast supposed to get 25 city and 30+ on highway......
or did i get the math wrong ...

The Cobalt only has a 13 gallon tank. 213 miles on 1/2 a tank means 213 miles on roughly 6.5 gallons.

213 / 6.5 = 32.77 mpg.

You did the math wrong. 213 miles on 1/2 tank is good. I usually get from 29 to 34 mpg on mine.

I'm getting about 26.5 mpg from my 2.4L
