As I watch the gas prices go up here in Oklahoma where we usually have some of the lowest prices in the nation, I am so glad I have a gas saving 2017 Cruze to drive ( averaging 34 city 39 hwy using premium 91). What surprised me when looking at compact cars and smaller how the Cruze mpg beats many. Almost have to get a hybrid to do better gas wise but the cost jumps too so not sure if it's really a savings all around. Ironically the carmakers say the buyers are now buying gas guzzlers because gas has stayed low. Well what do these buyers do when gas starts to go up and up and up back to nearly $4 a gallon? I think us Cruze owners will be laughing and smiling at the gas pumps eh?

E85 sure does lower mpg significantly compared to E0 or E10, in any properly functioning E85-capable vehicle, unless someone can identify a counter-example...

E85 has way less energy per unit volume compared to E0 or E10 gasoline...

And gasoline has way less energy per unit volume than diesel... ;)
