The 6-speed AT VCDi Cruze I drove two years ago did around 45 MPG (US) at a cruise, and still did around 37-38 MPG at 70 mph.

I started seeing commercials on the boob tube for the first time for the diesel Cruze. Specifically this one:

They seem to focus mostly on the "clean" aspect of it, obviously trying to undo some of the stigma of diesels being "dirty".

I hope it does well. If it is successful, it will only encourage other companies to make diesel cars available and competition is a good thing.

GM should worry more about the stigma of the their own 350 diesel.
