Hello from a '07 Aveo5 SVM owner
Been lurking the forum for a little while and figured I'd finally post something. I've managed to beat the EPA average MPG, and yesterday bumped my tire pressures up to 42/40 PSI (sidewall max is 44) which should help the rather pathetic mileage this car gets compared to other similar vehicles.

Hey, welcome.
Curious: what other cars did you consider before you pulled the trigger on the Aveo? |
The second choice (and, if money wasn't an issue, the preferred one) was a Yaris. In the end it was the price and the fact that the dealer actually had a no-frills Aveo5 SVM on the lot. I do like the car, and the extra interior room is nice.

Welcome to the site! Maybe you should go crazy and inflate your tires up to 50 psi :) My sidewalls say 35 psi and I've got 50 psi in them so it is definitely doable. Make sure you create a gaslog as it's fun to track your own mileage.

The aveo 5 speed was on my list of possible cars, before my saturn was reborn as a stick shift ;)

You should be able to do much better in mileage on the car. Keep trying. |
I like the Aveos. I was THIS close[] to buying one, but then my Cavalier surfaced.

I understand from a guy who owns one (Aveo 5 speed) that the gearing is a little short, a la Honda Fit. Which would go a long way toward explaining its low MPG relative to its competitors.
The guy I talked to went from a 95 Metro to the Aveo. |
