With the extra weight and A/C on, I'd say that's pretty good. When I went on a road trip (Just myself and light luggage) I got up to 56MPG for a brief distance with mostly flat ground and a couple of downhill stretches. My overall average for the 2500 mile trip was about where you're at with mostly highway driving.Hi everyone,
Newbie here. Got a second hand 2009 Cruze diesel a few months ago.
It's my first diesel car
P.S.
I'm only got 46 MPG on the highway (with A/C on and three people+one luggage), is normal for 2-liter turbo diesel?
From MelbourneThat seems all right, where are you as obviously not in the US?
It's Imperial. It's actually 6.1 L/100km.Welcome. Is that 46 MPG Imperial or 46 MPG US?
So, 46 MPG, I mean approx. 5.9-6.1 L/100KM. still a bit confuse about Imperial (UK gallon) and US gallon. In Australia, we use L/100KMWith the extra weight and A/C on, I'd say that's pretty good.

Of course, with yours being a 2009 it's going to have a different engine than my 2014. For a Diesel in general, 46MPG highway is great.
That converts to about 39 MPG US. Imperial Gallons are larger than US Gallons.So, 46 MPG, I mean approx. 5.9-6.1 L/100KM. still a bit confuse about Imperial (UK gallon) and US gallon. In Australia, we use L/100KM![]()
wow, you've got much better fuel economy than mine. Do you feel any power loss in hot weather (like 54-57C)?I recently spent a week in Frankston and averaged exactly that over 2,500km. My best was when I drove from Frankston to Seven hills in Sydney, 923km and put 54.9 litres in it with the DIC still showing 100km till empty. I was cruising at 110kph with cruise control on almost the whole trip.
