great milage
I just drove from Saskatoon, SK to Airdrie, AB (592.5km or 368.17mi.) in my
2001 SL2 (5sp). I probably averaged just over 70mph (115km/h) for the entire distance. I used 40.72l (8.96 imp. gallons), which works out to 41.09mpg. The car is about 3½ years old now and has been great. I couldn't be happier!!

I've managed similar with my '03 Ion when doing predominantly highway.
In looking over my database, I've managed a good smattering of 39-41 mpg runs at different times. Michael Rob wrote: > Hey thats great. What engine does it have.

I bet his "secret" is using imperial gallons.
40.72 liters is 10.76 gallons for us yanks. So 368.17 miles / 10.76 gallons is about 34.22 mpg for us yanks. Not an unreasonable mileage for a broken in SL2 running at moderate highway speeds.
