Hello everyone! Im new here and sadly i have the same issue.. I have a 2013 LS 1.8 auto, according to my DIC im doing an average of 16 MPG but i only use the car in the city, no highway.. My car has less than 600 miles. I only use 93 octane fuel.


Sorry for my english but i dont live in the USA and english isnt my native language.

Pics? :whatdoyouthink:

I bought my Eco and my avg trip is @ 2 miles to my bus stop for my park and ride. When I do that, my Eco gets @ 30. I have been complaining about my car with less than par MPG. This past week I inflated my tires to 40 and took some "road trips" and I have been averaging @40 far better than I have ever done before. One bad tank is not going to decide whether the car is good or bad. I was thinking I had a MPG lemon until I was able to get out on the hwy and set the cruise at 65 - 70. After I did that the MPG went up and I don't think I have a problem car any more. I am now waiting to see if the tune will improve that even! After seeing the MPG results with my car I decided to inflate my wife's Malibu to 35 instead of the recommended 30 to see if we see any MPG improvements there even.

Forgot to reply to this one. Yeah too short a distance as stated by others. I have 2 ways to work and the shortest route gets me 12 mpg less than the loner route.

I've been driving a rental Cruze LT auto and have been averaging 33-34 on 87 octane.

I had a 13 LS auto for a rental(might get it again if this A/C issue pops up again) and I couldn't break 19 city and 22 highway. Tired to hypermill but that trans refused to upshift at lower speeds.

Welcome to CruzeTalk not a fan of the front bumper but love the grill. But the 1.8l arnt for fuel economy but you should be getting better than that. What type of terrain is there where you live and how is the traffic. Is the weather hot most of the time these will all play into the fuel economy game.

Hey! thanks for the fast reply.. This is the unique cruze available for my country so i dont have any options at all.. or auto or manual but always 1.8 so im trying work with that.. The terrain? Where i drive is flat not too many mountains. The trafic is horrible. The weather? well im in Central America so not to cold but not to hot.. Just Perfect! I know that i cant expect a 40+ MPG. But it really doesnt make sense the 16 MPG. So any help is welcome.

It is early in the break in period but then again I was close to the EPA at almost half the mileage. Different engine than yours of course, how many miles do you drive one way and do you idle the engine waiting on someone who claims they will be outside in 5 mins but more like 20-25 mins?

Its an Eco trim only tab/feature. Should be on all models but its the same situation of why the iPhone 4 is not SIRI "capable"
