Well let me tell you my Cobalt experience.

I bought my Cobalt because of a number of reasons but very high on the list was mileage because my truck was killing me too. I bought the SS and I absolutely love the car. You can pick up an 09 for 21000 so within 1000 of your budget and they have a 5yr/100000 warranty.

I get 27-28 overall with about 32ish on the freeway (22ish in the City)-even when I drive aggressively I still average 25-26 overall. So far, 100% trouble free since I picked it up in 11/08. I can vouch for the standard Cobalt, but the SS so far has been a huge pleasant surprise to me. I even like driving it more than I like driving my truck (and I love my truck).

I love 'Vettes, so don't take this the wrong way- but everyone likes to quote the 28 highway number. They get significantly worse mileage everywhere else so unless your drive is all highway with no congestion, it's not a mileage queen.

to tell you the truth, i'm buying an American Icon! as long as it's got the bowtie on it, it's good enough for me!
And why did you decide to bump a two year old thread to tell us this?

I wasn't the original necro poster, but I didn't even think to check before I posted.
