They don't provide enough details to make a judgement on how accurate these figures are, but... Quote:

That's pretty neat. It's got so many of the doo-dads we've been implementing in our cars that I believe it can approach 58 MPG @ 55 MPH . I am guessing that they are using the OEM guage : 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Eco system overview and Camshaft sprocket - Auto Owners Manual - Workshop Manual - Maintenance Manual - Wiring Diagrams - Detechno.org http://detechno-cache.detechno.org/w...-cruze-eco.jpg CarloSW2 |
Also, we're missing important info like ambient conditions (temp, wind).
Traffic conditions: 58 mpg on a busy interstate is easier than on an empty interstate, all else being equal ("Corridor effect"). |
Nice. Looks like some folks were hypermiling, although they didn't use the term. 58 is 38% over 42, which is impressive.

That 65mpg achieved while drafting gives a good indication of its aeromodding potential which its tall gearing enables you to take full advantage of.

If only my finances could afford the payment. Maybe after deployment. I don't go over 55mph to and from work. It happens to be a 50 mile one way trip to and from work. It would be fantastic to use less than 2 gallons of gas a day!

You'd be pretty close to that if you just got a used Civic/Corolla/Fit/Yaris/Echo.

Automatic-equipped Corolla 1.8L ...
http://ecomodder.com/forum/attachmen...1&d=1231533701 ... shows 43 mpg (US) at 56 mph. ( Testing details: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...atic-6710.html , and other speed vs. mpg charts: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...you-15182.html ) |
The Cruze Eco 6MT is tops on the short list for replacing my Buick in a couple of years. Getting high-40's MPG sounds great to me!
