    It seems to be the case according most people on here. Definitely a good thing. On my CT200h it was usually off by 3-5 mpg’s. I keep forgetting to check the tank average meter before I fill up and compare it to Fuelly, because I have my meter set to trip average. Before my next fill up I will definitely check.

    My Chevy Cobalt XFE with mechanical everything has been much more reliable and simple to fix than I expected.

    Sadly it’s also prone to non-body components rusting and requiring replacement (parts are still moderately cheap though)

    42mpg I guess is worth the cheaper repairs, sadly the ac failed a few weeks ago with a massive leak, finding a cheap mechanic that does AC is no longer possible, I’m almost tempted to throw parts at it since I can replace much of the system for less than the inspection cost.
    Then rent an Autozone AC die pressure tester and make sure I got the correct o-rings and valves replaced
