Having traded in my LNF powered '08 HHR SS for my '12 1LT LFX(both autos), I can attest that under the same real world driving conditions that the fuel economy difference is minimal. I'm observing 1-2 mpg less and the extra 1 gallon capacity difference makes it almost even. Plus with the LNF, you
must run 91+ octane, so I see $ operational evening due to fuel grade choice.
