Chevrolet Prizm Forum : “Does this car get good gas mileage? What is the mileage?”

Dear Nikki--  Your 2000 Chevrolet Prizm will get between 28 and 32 mpg. if you have a three-speed automatic transmission, bewtween 29 and 37 mpg. if you have a four-speed transmission, and from 31 to 38 mpg. if you have a manual transmission.  These numbers come from our very own government at www.fueleconomy.gov.   Good luck from Bovan.

pretty crappy mileage, the 3 speed burns alot of oil at 80mph, and is only a 3 speed. a ford focus gets better gas mileage
