2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel: More Details Released By GM

The diesel Cruze comes in at about 50mpg US per the reports, which isn't too bad, I would rather see it higher still, I can peak 50mpg summer on a gasser Cobalt, not sure what a diesel would allow but might be interesting.

I hope they offer the diesel in an ECO varient.

Something I think that has been lost is the fact that a GDI and TDI engine are nearly identical and all the old new reports on them stated they were to be multifuel because of the infinate possibilities with the timing of the fuel injection and spark. Theoretically a GDI engine could run 18:1 compression and still run on 87 octain pump

The volt in fact was to be multifuel capable (aka diesel, gas, e85,lpg, CNG)
its unfortunate that didn't materialize because the volt would be much more interesting as a bi or tri fuel varient.
