Re: 2009 Vibe GT - Red Hot Metallic (Firescooby)

Re: 2009 2.4L mpg (ned23)

I'm VERY disappointed in my mileage. The BEST I've gotten is 28mpg and that was 100% highway, cruise, 70-80mph.My usual mileage is 25-26mpg, with 75% being highway. It's a stock 09 GT with almost 9k miles.

Yes, it fits. I put one on my 2009 Vibe.One word of caution...the tape included is not the best. It has come "untaped" on one side. Make sure it's relatively warm, clean surface, apply, and keep pressure on it for some time.It was 90 degrees, I cleaned with alcohol, applied, and basically ...

On my 2009 Vibe, if you hit the info button it displays the XM channel on the left with the song name and artist to the right. It's aggravating hitting this button every time I change the station. Anyone know of a way to have this standard or not having to hit the button everytime?
