Park it - you'll be amazed on how much you save on fuel expenses. Maybe even ride your bike or rollerblade to work.....or purchase a Smart 2 seater with the 800cc turbo diesel engine.....or just walk.

Is there a TSB for cat?

Saw it on a post and I'm wondering if there truly was a TSB for a recall to replace the CAT on the 04 Vibe's.

Re: Vibe GTR with V6.... (jake75)

The ONLY reason I bought a Vibe is because of the Toyota powertrain and yes I do get a full GM discount. But I still shy away from GM products even with the discount - I've mainly purchased imports for their reliability.For those who stand by their GM products, good for you. I, however, have seen it...

Crappy gas mileage in the winter - getting about 440km's to the tank now and all we do is highway driving at 115km/h.Starts like a dog too - even my Dodge, yes Dodge Dakota (affectionately known as POS) starts better......

Re: Actual gas mileage (joatmon)

We have an automatic base - and the mileage that I'm quoting has been converted to US gallons and not Imperial. Thanks for the input guys - it seems like most of you get better mileage so I'll have to keep tracking it. Funny thing is that my first tank had the best gas mileage (although we never too...

Car has 6100 miles on it, I change the oil every 3000 miles, and 85% of that mileage is highway.And yes you can post a case against a car manufacturer for misrepresentation.

Actual gas mileage

We own a fully loaded 2004 Vibe with an automatic. I'm getting between 500 - 540km's per tank which equals about 25mpg which is absolutely crap. I'm curious what every one else is getting as average mileage on a full tank. Please and thanks.....I'm building a case against GM.
