I have owned a 01 9-3, (30.5 mpg - Stick), 01 9-5 (29 mpg - Automatic) and now have a 07 2.0 SC (25.5 mpg - automatic)
I really like the 07, but think the mileage sucks. The tires are kept at 35 psi and though I drive agressively, this driving style has not changed. I have tried 87, 89, 91, 92, & 93 Octane fuel and to my surprise only the ethanol blend (89) produces a worse average (no surprise there). On all highway driving with 93 fuel I have gotten 28 mpg. I normally drive 90% highway.
I am not sure if GM is pushing the engineers to make this a 'go fast' over practical driver car. I got the car in August and turned 22K miles this week. Wish the dealer could retune the car for better mileage with the Tech II.
Good Motoring!
