YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 For its size (2.4 l) the fuel economy is good
2009 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Very good fuel economy Kept mileage since new - averaging 30mpg over 17,000 miles
2009 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Excellent fuel economy
2009 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 considering weight 3075lb-its quiet and rides nice my 26 overall with the performance engine is the perfect middle for me.
2009 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 I have gotten as low as 28 mpg and as high as 36 mpg. I like the fact that it is doing this well without being a hybrid.
2009 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 After driving larger cars & service trucks, I actually was looking forward to driving a smaller car again.
2008 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 26 town 32 highway
2008 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 I continually average 32-35mpg with the Vibe. I don't think I would get that with the Patriot.
2007 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 am actually getting better mileage than the EPA estimates....highway driving at 72 mph = 36 mpg.....at 60 mph mileage increases to 42 mpg
2007 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Pulling a small trailer for my business @ 35 m.p.g. makes a difference. The car is very economical to drive.
2007 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 It is excellent on gas
2006 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 I get 27-28 mpg in the cold winter and 30+ in the summer/fall. I love filling up once every few weeks.
2006 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Great city mpg
2006 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Very good.
2006 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Not as good as the Transport Canada ratings suggest. But overall, very good for a car that can haul so much cargo.
2005 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 So far, so good...first tank yielded about 28.5 for around town driving.
2005 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Averaging about 27 city and 33 highway.
2005 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 I average about 32 mpg with mixed city and highway driving, which I think is great for a car that has about as much cargo space as many small SUVs.
2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Get mileage at or above 28/29 city consistently, I have gotten up to 36 on highway trips.
2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 34 mpg lifetime fuel average.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 I get anywhere from 32 to 34 MPG highway in this little beauty! It saved my butt through skyrocketing gas prices during the summer of 2008.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 29 mpg... and I cane the poor thing frequently. It would probably do a little better if I drove it sensibly.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 27-29 City and 32-34 Highway.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 About as good as it gets for what I describe as a mini-SUV. EPA rated 28/33 at the time. I get 25-26 mpg in driving that is mostly city; on trips 31-32 mpg going 65-70.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Great highway mileage with 1.8L VVT-i engine. City mileage is acceptable for my needs - lots of short trips.
Pontiac Vibe Fuel Economy: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Mediocre fuel economy. Average 8.5L/100KM (27MPG) with range over 5 years from 6.5L (36MPG) to 9.5L (24MPG). Not bad compared to SUV but not as good as hoped.
