51.4 mpg in my Cruze!

I just broke the 50 mpg barrier with my cruze on my way home from work tonight! I just added my wheel covers this past saturday, and they have really helped make a difference in my fuel economy. I'm going to shoot for 55 mpg now.

Great accomplishment. The Cruze seems to be an easy to hypermile vehicle.

I sort of regret not waiting the year to get a cruze instead of the cobalt (which is a bit harder to break the 50mpg mark consistantly in) but then again it also saved $5k in purchase price.
