Helps me a newby to the forum to understand why such poor mileage in my new 07 Vibe. I love it otherwise. It sure does not feel like a small car in it's ride and it's awful easy to get to 80 MPH on the freeway.
Highway speed- I usually cruise at 75. Gasoline - I use reg unleaded.I am hopeful that a tweak here and there I may see a bit better MPG especially with further breaking in.

The tire pressure monitor is activated. I did that soon after if not the day I purchased it. I will check the pressure, but they do that auto matically with oil changes I get and just had one.
