22 mpg city, 30 highway (2.2- or 2.4-liter, automatic); 22/32 (2.2, manual); 22/30 (2.4, manual)
U.S. EPA

Consumer Guide
All 2011 Chevrolet HHR models are E85 and flex-fuel compatible; but mileage suffers with E85, and the EPA figures with the primarily corn-based fuel rate as low as 15/21. Based on various real-world driving experiences from our editors, expect low- to mid-20s with gasoline.
The HHR's driving range is pretty impressive—up to 500 miles between service station stops with the more efficient engine.
Conclusion
Fuel economy is better than that of many compact utility vehicles—and an unexpected strength for the 2011 Chevrolet HHR.
