Default Well the unfortunate day has come

Well a few weeks ago I got rid of my 940 gl Volvo. Well it was sort of worth it bc I got a chevy cobalt that gets great gas milage. None the less the daily driven 940 gl is gone.

I guess you'll have to update your sig. What kind of mileage does the Cobalt get?

The Cobalt does get good gas mileage - but I doubt it'll see 255,000 miles.

I have a 2010 cobalt lt1 with the 2.2 liter four cylinder, no turbo or boost, in mine. I get about 35 miles to the gallon depending on if I have a led foot or not. Well the good thing is I still own the 1979 262c. Which I wil never get rid of. I think a cobalt could make it to 100,000 miles. Hell a friend of mine had the 2000 izzue trooper and it ended up dieing at 160,000 miles bc of a bad gear in the transmission. Who knows how long this cobalt will last.
