![]() The transmission is an automatic only though, so no mileage perks from a well-driven manual. Proceed to the appropriate procedure based on the condition. #GM TECH 2 MANUAL CLEANING MANUAL#Yes - this article does not apply, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 412-00. The Cruze engine gets help from active grille shutters that keep wind out of the engine compartment at speed and skinny low-rolling-resistance tires. NOTE: For vehicles with manual climate control, both PIDs may not be present. While the cleaning procedure is pretty normal across the board with GM, there are 6 different relearn procedures listed, and a lot that require no relearn at all. ![]() There is no wonder there is confusion out there. Interestingly, diesel isn’t the only reason the car is so efficient. For the model year 2007, GM has 66 named vehicles, not including Isuzu, Saab, and Suzuki im-ports. I got in the low to mid 50s at 55 mpg briefly on level highway and other reviewers have seen have seen around 58 mpg driving 50-55 mph with a broken-in engine. In hilly highway driving I averaged as much as 50 mpg in a car with just 500 miles on the odometer (usually you get your best mileage once the moving parts are seated, beyond 1,000 miles). While testing the car I got high 20s around town, and did several mpg better than the EPA rating on the highway. The EPA rates the Cruze diesel at 27 mpg city, 46 mpg highway. In cars such as the Cruze, diesels get decent city mileage and great highway mileage. Most importantly for our purposes: in cars, a diesel engine is 20%-40% more efficient but it may cost $2000 more than a gas engine car. Outside, at low speeds when it’s cold, pedestrians sure will. Inside the Cruze, at highway speeds, you won’t even know it’s a diesel. THe Cruze produces less smoke and soot, too. That’s more than on a good German car, but a lot less than on any diesel of a generation ago if you’re counting. That’s a dozen fewer times that you get that diesel smell on your hands every year! Combine that fact with a decent interior and good build quality, and you’ve got a reasonable ride for $25,000.ĭon’t be scared off by the engine: the Cruze 2.0TD still has a bit of diesel clatter (engine noise especially at low speed before the engine is warm). A 12,000 miles-a-year Cruze diesel might wind up refueling twice a month instead of three times with a gas engine. The Cruze turbodiesel gets 50 mpg on the highway and that translates to 700 miles between fill-ups. ![]() The Chevrolet Cruze 2.0TD is your basic, well-made compact sedan that comes with a diesel engine.
