I'm right now considering getting a pickup, either trading the Cruze in or getting a 3rd vehicle. Then I filled up my tank this evening, um, maybe I won't. Gas has gone up about 30 cents here in the past 10 days. Not sure what's up, but I'm glad I'm averaging over 40 mpg on 87.

Premium (91) is $4.09 here in SoCal....good thing I went E85 and only paying 2.49 with an average of 22mpg. My 25 mile drive to work really sucks. I go from 2,500ft elevation to 1,000 and then back to 2,500...with hills in between and lots of traffic going from 20-80mph. I cant get the awesome mpg some of you report on your 1.4s

I think the E85 is what might be killing your gas mileage. Though, with that big of difference in price, it might be worth it. I drive from 1200 ft to over 2600 ft, down to 2100 feet on the way to work, and then the opposite on the way back home. I have been averaging well over 40 mpg, usually around 45. Though the speed limit for most of the trip is 65. Though it is 70 for a little while, and 55 up the mountain and back down.
