Gas Mileage Poll in Site Polls Posted January 27, 2007 It has the 2.2L UNsouped engine with 4 speed auto tranny. Stock. I get 27 to 28 in the city... and 28 to 31 on country slabs. The key here is the tire air pressure ! IF the pressure is low, the mileage goes way down. IF the pressure is high, the mileage goes way UP ! I run the air pressure a higher than what is posted on the driver's door jamb.... It says 32 front and 30 rear..... I usually use 36 front and 34 rear. IF you use snow tires (not the all seasons)...but true snowtires like my Blizzzzzzzzaks WS-50 tires.... then the mileage goes down a bit too.... due to the squishiness of the soft treads probably. I get darn good gas economy on my BRIGHTON 'plain Jane' AWD-wagon.... i love it ! BrightonBoy
