Re: What is wrong with my 2010 HCHII, horrifying fuel economy.

Hard to say. I have 4 cvt. 145k & 225K HCH2, and 2x 185K insights. They all appear to be operating normally.

BTW, I learned something new pertinent to thus thread for 09-11 HCH. As of 3/2015, batt Warranty in all states is 10yr, 150k due to rampant battery failure rates.

I am pretty religious in changing 0-20w oil and CVT fluid, new brakes, PSI, new tires, new 12v battery... I am on the fence on putting $2400 on a new IMA Battery (Bumblebee) or saving up for a used 2013 Chevy Volt when it the 2016 comes out. Ofcourse the Chevy Volt has their own set of problems on the GM volt forums. I just putting it out there, do you guys know how long the CVT will last?
