Chevrolet HHR Gas Mileage (MPG)

Chevrolet HHR Gas Mileage (MPG): - photograph by Mark T.

Unlike other fuel economy surveys, TrueDelta's Real-World Gas Mileage Survey includes questions about how and where a car was driven. So you can get an idea of the Chevrolet HHR's real-world MPG based on how and where you drive a car.

If you are not a TrueDelta member, you can see only five Chevrolet HHR MPG gas mileage averages for each powertrain. Log in or join us to see them all.

HHR was the best combo of car, capacity, and mileage I could find. In reality, not quite as good as advertised, but way better than minivans.

I drive a AWD TOyota Sienna and needed a better mpg commuter car. THe HHR can haul most of what the minivan did and get nearly 10 mpg better. Most of the additional payment will be saved by the better mpg for my high mile driving.

For as quick as the HHR SS is, the fuel economy nearing 30MPG is phenominal.

RE the HHR SS model, highway mileage with heavy footing out of toll booths with 3 total passengers yielded 27.5 mpg.

I bought this car for my commute to work and have not been disappointed. In 50/50 driving, I am averaging between 25 and 27 miles per gallon. On a 300 mile trip I averaged 29.5 mpg with 4 people, luggage and running well over the posted speed limit.

Could be better considering that many larger cars get the same mileage.
