So i use the epa as a at worst rating if anything. So, the #'s still have some use.
My plan:
Save on gas and monthly over my RX while not completely nutering my sports car soul!!!

My HHR was rated at 28 mpg hwy,
I get close to 32.
my Sky was rated 28 hwy
I get about 27.
both have the same engine 2.4L 170 hp
HHR weighs more
HHR has a 4 speed automatic
Sky weighs less
Sky has 5 speed automatic...
I drive both the same on the highway.
why the difference?
Gearing
HHR 2100 RPM @ 70 mph
Sky 2350 RPM @ 70 mph
