Our week of driving the Cruze Diesel bore that out;
realized city fuel consumption, especially on a daily low - speed route of queuing at intersections, stop signs, stop lights, and chugging up hills (all with air - conditioning on), fell well short of the EPA estimate for the Cruze diesel.
Realizing such a major emissions cut would require further efficiency improvements in
fuel consumption and, especially, the promotion of public transport in
cities, alongside a large - scale shift to electric cars.
