I have one as well. Not sure I love it, but glad you do. I get frustrated when short regen, sometimes it makes little sense, :dizzy:Don't think so - I have the Scangauge II (Great! Just love it! This is something all CTD owners should have.) and usually there is about 200 or more miles between regens.
You have something very wrong. I am going on a 200 mile trip, 85% highway today and the temps are cooling down here so no AC to use or very little and I expect to get 50 mpg plus and interstate speeds of 70 mph. I have never had a tank of 34 mpg, if I drove 100% city driving stop and go and heavy AC I night get little less than that. I took a trip to New Jersey in May and the weather was cool and went over 800 mile on a tank and could have made it to 900 no problem. A gas regular Cruze would get the mileage you are getting.Did this on the way home yesterday - worked as expected. (And going down the mountain raised my average for this tank to 34.)
I wonder if your mods, especially the 19 inch tires had an impact of fuel economy? I would guess it could have. Made a trip yesterday from Indy area to Fort Wayne and got 52 mpg on way up and then economy dropped on way home to 47 with a strong cross wind. My car is bone stock other than tint. Interesting as well, my last regen was 89 miles, this tank I am at 350 miles and at 20 grams and been very slow since I got fuel. I wonder if my car has winter fuel or if lower temps outside give me more miles per regen? Dramatic difference.I'm somewhat disappointed with my economy as well. Average speed is 41-42 and mileage is 38+. City driving really drags that economy down. I got better mileage in my ECO due to the manual trans. I know the delete and downpipe tune Fleece is expensive and will never pay for itself, but I'm strongly considering it now.
Any chance the tires also changed the calibration of your speedometer and odometer? I am not familiar with what happens when you change tire size etc, maybe it changed your odometer to show less miles than actual miles traveled and that could make it look like your mileage sucks when maybe it doesn't? Just an idea.Never weighed the wheels/tires from factory or the TSWs. The 19s are rotary forged, so I'd guess they are relatively light. The tires aren't LRR and the added 1" in width does have an effect on the mileage. Taking all that into account, still not 100% satisfied. I drive the speed limit on the highway and baby it all the other times. Always looking for the next upshift and routinely see huge instantaneous mpgs. Just doesn't seem to materialize into 40+ averages per tank. Just frustrating.
Wow, pretty close, but wider I think you said and perhaps not low resistance, so maybe 2-5% differencestock: 215/55/17
new: 235/40/19
Only 3 revolutions per mile difference. Less than 0.5%.
I had a 14 eco manual and city driving that car was great, highway driving at moderate speeds it was really good, much above 70 mph it would drop off, the diesel does worse in the city with stop and go, it shines on a interstate drive at 60-70 mph. I would guess if you took a 100 mile trip where the wheels don't stop and set cruise at 65 it will do pretty well.Have only taken one long highway trip with the car so far. Didn't even have 1000 miles on the clock, so still not broken in at the time. Averaged mid 40s as expected. City and stop and go driving really drag down the average. Much more than when I drive my ECO (manual).
