Think GM will ever give us the chance to find out?

4.2 L/100 km is impressive! That's the best highway rating for a non-hybrid. Works out to 56 mpg (US). Coincidentally, the previous best highway rating for a non-hybrid was held by the Cruze ECO.

But a note on the Canadian ratings: they're similar to the pre-2008 EPA numbers. Canada will be getting around to updating our testing to make it more "real world" around 2015.
