TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Chevrolet Cruze

Chevrolet Cruze Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	Weight is the enemy of fuel economy. Partly be reducing the Cruze's curb weight by about 250 pounds, from among the heaviest in the class to among the lightest, Chevrolet improved its EPA ratings from 26 mpg city, 38 mpg highway to 30/42 (30/40 in the tested top-of-the-line trim). The Honda Civic does a little better, 31/42, and the Mazda3 scores nearly as well, 30/41. But all three are close enough to consider them the segment's fuel economy leaders. The Ford Focus scores as high as 30/42, but only when equipped with a turbocharged three-cylinder engine and a manual transmission. For 2017 Chevrolet will offer a new 1.6-liter diesel that should deliver outstanding fuel economy. And if you want to avoid fossil fuels entirely, they already offer the related second-generation Volt, which can travel about 50 miles on electricity before a gasoline-powered backup engine kicks on. see full Chevrolet Cruze review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Sedan turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Car is great for fuel economy if you keep your foot out of it. People with any clue how to drive rationally can achieve 42 mpg with little effort in rural highway and highway driving. Most people don?t realize going 10 mph over the speed limit really doesn?t save you any time on a 10 mile trip. Keep your pedal off the metal and the green in your wallet. Engine braking in the manuals is another big gain. Dfco saves a lot of gas. Rather than coasting down to your stop sign and burning your brakes up downshift as you slow and dont burn any fuel Other than a little blip between shifts. You will more than double your brake life if you don?t run the rabbit at every stoplight. see full Chevrolet Cruze review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	For an SUV with all wheel drive full time and a small V6 fuel economy isn't bad at twenty miles per gallon. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review

Suzuki Grand Vitara Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	2.7L 6 cyl. engine has a 18 mpg city 22 HWY. Not good enough. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review
2006	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	The fuel economy on this car could be a lot better. It can supposedly get up to 21 mpg, but we've never gotten over 17 mpg. We tak e good care of it, so I don't know what the problem is, but I would call it a gas guzzler. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review
2006	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	Ok for a vehicle of this size and configuration, but it compares unfavourably to vehicles that although superficially the same, could be expected to do better. Like not being in 4wd all the time. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review
