nice!

 

I have found that rain knocks a couple MPG off. It must increase the friction between the tires and the road significantly or something.

 

Wait for that wonderful S word. You'll be dropping the f bomb on your DIC daily then.

 

Sweet numbers. Congrats. I'd have to say thats a tad better than the Humm.

 

Congrats on those numbers, might wanna get used to it lol.

That's good stuff. Get use to it!

 

Now you have a better understanding of the term fuel efficient .
Be cool stay cozy keep cruzen and Best Wishes with yer Cruze Diesel !

 

Wow man what a junk from an H2 to a Cruze diesel that's fantastic. Your mileage will improve as the car breaks in. Also yes rain does significantly drop your MPG because the car is pushing through accumulated water on the road.

 

I had to "like" your comment that the Cruze "performed brilliantly". Hadn't heard that term of endearment used toward an automobile yet...LOL. However, it's hard to fiind a word that more appropriately describes what GM did to create this car for ME...oh, and you too!

Thanks for the comment and congrats on the great road trip.

 

What were your speeds? Any tall hills?

I took mine from Salt Lake City (UT) to Milwaukee (WI) and back (1475 miles each way) on the 4th of July weekend. The A/C was on the whole trip and my speeds in UT, WY, and NE were 75 mph, in IA 70 mph, and in IL and WI 65 mph. The composite mileage was 51.2 mpg for the 2950 miles of highway driving. (Based on odometer and fuel receipts - not DIC.) This mileage is significant in that there are some really tall hills (10,000 feet) in UT and WY. Every other vehicle I have taken on this annual trip to see family has had to downshift several times in UT and WY, but not the Cruze CTD.

 

Hi HawgFan!

I really love the Cruze diesel. The other commenters are right. Your MPG should get even better as you break in your Cruze even though I am sure you are already more then satisfied coming from a Hummer! Thanks for sharing your road trip experience with us!
