The rear strut bearings are failing causing clunks and creaks (fronts do the same thing). With that many miles, change the bearings and the strut.
Have your alignment checked.
The whining noise in our 2001 2.2 cavalier turned out to be the a/c compressor. It ended up going out at about 120,000 miles. I would suggest having it serviced. I wish we would have had ours serviced.
my '96 cavalier sedan (233,000 miles) gets about 450 miles per tank if i run it completely empty, averaging 30 mpg.
You cover 4.536 miles, and it makes no difference at all how long you take to do it.
80k miles
60000 miles
I have a 99 Cavalier and the owner's manual says 15 gallons. Awesome on gas! i get 28 around town miles per gallon, and Highway miles 32+. I love it!
The 2005 Cavalier with the 2.2L engine and a manual 5 speed transmission would get 23 miles per gallon city.
1,000 miles going and 1,000 miles coming back so that makes a total round trip of 2,000 miles.
7 miles in 3 minutes In 60 minute it will travel (7/3)x60 = 140 miles per hour
I recently porchased an 04 cavalier with the 2.2 ecotec engine. It gives me around 360 miles on a full tank but thats really pushing it
