Must've been the badge-engineered automatic Eco. Mine doesn't have any weighty/wasteful options like remote start or a power driver's seat. I bet that bourgeois decadent car even has the 25 lb spare tire option! Filthy greenwashing corporate pigs!
I bet somebody buys that car, drives the snot out of it (the AT loves to rev the engine), idles it (uses 0.85 GPH on cold startup, warm idle is 0.15 GPH) cold a lot, then will badmouth Chevrolet since it won't get anywhere near rated fuel economy.
The manual Ecos with a dedicated driver can meet/beat EPA highway at will. The automatic Cruzes have shown to struggle to get their EPA ratings. That includes the automatic Eco.
