should all be the same year wise... however, a smaller motor will give you better MPG so go with the ecotec which is like 02-04 I believe.

maybe you need a tune-up, and i heard seafoam helps.

do you have the 4 cyl or the 6 cyl right now? If its the 4, you shouldn't be getting quite that bad. IF you want mileage, get an alero witht the ecotec.

Newer would be better IMO. the parts are newer, in better conditon, usually less miles. If i got another alero i would go with an 03-04. Coupe. teehee =D

Don't lay on the gas and go the speed limit.

Its a 2.4 and the car I am sure had a couple scrapes in its past. The garages around here do not seem to know what they are doing, so I try to stay away from them.

I was thinkin ecotec and I want a little newer with less miles anyway

You could have a problem with an injector, or possibly the coil cover.
