Hi everyone, I picked up my new Pontiac Vibe nearly 3 weeks ago and finally put gas in it. I averaged 8 liters per 100 kms or 36 mpg (imp). The engine is a 2.4 with a 5 speed stick and I am still breaking it in and it was mostly short trips around the city (EPA city is 9.6). I have a long trip planned for the end of this month so we will see what the hiway miles are like then.
Hi Neddy:

Hi Wayne, thanks for the info on the XRS, it has given me a lot more info on what to do with my own car. I will keep every up to date on the Vibe.
