Yay! ecomodding getting some props but I couldn't resist this:

"Although the EPA rates the Cruze Eco—with the manual gearbox—at 42-mpg highway, we saw noticeably better. ...but we didn't expect the Prius-like 48.6 mpg the Cruze's computer said we achieved."

Could this possibly be due to an optimistic computer? Nah, must be dead accurate.
