I purchased my Cruz in July 2013 and from the start my fuel mileage was terrible. I work with 2 people who own a cruz and love the fuel mileage and that is why I purchased mine. I complained on my survey to GM and I have taken it back to the dealership. I was informed no DTC's found and no new updates. I called Chevy customer assist and complained. They recommeded I take it to another dealership to be checked out. I get a consitant 22 city / 25 - 26 hwy. My sticker on the window stated I should get: 26 city / 38 hwy and 30 combined. I would be happy if I could get 30 mpg. I have tried evrything you can think of. I tried different fuels, regular and premium, played with the tire air pressure, installed an K&N air filter. My last thing to try is to drive slow and become a hazard on the road. I drive the same route daily to work. I open to other recomedations. I feel I'm stuck with a car that does not deliver what is promised on the window sticker. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.
WOW...traded in my loved 2012 1.4 turbo Ls Cruze that when I filled would tell me 520 + miles till fill up...To a 2013 LTZ 1.4 Turbo, Same Drivetrain...that says on fill up, 350 miles till fill up...wth ...Thought may need break in ...nope....took to dealer to look into and said with in range of sticker on car" IS OK" has 14000 miles
and shows 27 MPG for its average....WTH....Sigh...should have kept my 2012...
The Cruze has the 1.4L turbo and is not the Eco. It is supposed to get 26 city / 38 highway according to the EPA ratings on the window sticker. This car has not EVER gotten over 31.5 - 32.0 mpg on the highway since we got it. The car now has 11,000 miles on it and is a daily driver (all highway) for my wife. No matter if her or I drive the thing, we can't get over that 32.0mpg on a long trip or short trip.
