Chevy HHR Question?.........?

Question

i have a 08 Chevy HHR, paid for, but i want to trade it in for same car with flexfuel, the only reason why is because the one i have dont have the flexfuel, and almost all the gas station have ethonal. around here, i was wondering how much extra would it be???? if any one would know

Answer 1

DO NOT buy a flexfuel car.  If you have an HHR paid for, keep it.  First, the dealer will skin you alive if you trade.

Secondly, flex fuel cars are a hoax.  I had one.  I put E85 in it and it fouled up the oxygen sensors (cost $150).  Mechanics are not in favor of E85 systems.  The tell you not to buy them.

Thirdly.  E85 fuel reduces your mileage about 35%.  So if the HHR gets 30 mpg with gas, expect to get about 20 mpg with E85.
