2010 Chevrolet Cruze!

[av8or5]

Guys, tried looking for fc thread. Anyhow im averaging 12.8/100km its kind of low. Bakit ganun. I tried my best driving skills. Ayaw talaga mag improve. 776km travelled, LS automatic.

Mas matipid pa ang genesis ko. Ill try manual computation and not using the computer. 2nd dismay ko sa Cruze.

I tried manual shifting less than 2k rpm, ganun pa din. No traffic,

Today, bf homes, fort bonifacio, to centris qc. Worse 14km/100km per liter, best 12.8km/100km per liter

I'm also experiencing the same thing.
When it's pure highway...and i'm able to keep a speed of 80km/h or higher for a long period of time then my consumption is great.

But with the typical traffic I get from SM Bacoor to Perpetual Las Pinas and back (around 16km)everyday I average about 13l/100k. On good days it may go down to around 12km/100L. On Monday mornings or Friday afternoons I sometimes get pretty bad consumption like 18/100km sometimes.

But I've noticed that I get better FC when I push the Cruze. Instead of taking it easy, I like to push it a little bit and get it over 40km/h quickly as possible. Anything below 40km/hr the Cruze hates and drinks up fuel like it was whiskey on a friday night. I've been doing it lately and even though you push it..even past 2K RPM to get to 40km/h+ the FC on the indicator improves.

Kagagaling ko lang kahapon sa NAIAS 2011 (Detroit Autoshow). I went straight to Chevy display. There were 3 Cruze on display along with Malibus, Camaros..etc..grabe dami ng choices, Chevy pa lang. Anyway. Cruze got an eco engine with 42mi/gal (17.8km/li) FC. This Cruze has a lower suspension and a lighter 17in wheels. I didn't check much of the detail since I don't have the whole day. Na mi-miss ko na Cruze ko dyan sa Pinas =(

pictures naman nakita mo din ba ung bagong chevy sonic? sabi nila sonic ung "sports" type ng chevy :D

guys.. question lang po.. yung coolant po kasi natin is color red , abd ang mga nabibili sa labad mostly sa blade or concorde is color green,, sabe nila sa casa lag daw ang red. totoo po ba ito?? ang pede po ba pagsamahin ung color green na coolant sa red na asa cruze natin??.. thanks po

It's not really red but pinkish. Anyways, why do you have to concern yourself with the coolant? Hindi nauubos yan kahit every 10K PMS pa. Relax ka lang dyan and try not to worry to much, just enjoy your cruze man.

[j.caine]

i just wanna say I LOVE MY CRUZE! ehehehe my first car kase

[electone]

Drove the Cruze for 150 kms just this morning for an out of town trip. I got an FC of 15 km/L. Drove at a speed of 80 to 100 kph most of the time.

Sir Awallit, early March or late March?
May full specs na po ba sir of the Diesel Cruze? (Besides the engine specs)

Nabuhay na din ulit ako sa Cruze thread, eto kasi inaantay ko.. I have a Diesel Captiva so I know the power.

I am trying to get the Philippine spec sir pero hindi pa nila mailabas. I'm sure it will be a killer.

Just regularly check the coolant level sir. There shouldn't be a problem if your coolant level is within the min-max lines.

It is replaced once every year or every 20K kms. Use 50/50 mixture of water and coolant. Use Dexcool or any silicate-free long life coolant (LLC) over the store shelves.

Refrain from using additives aside from the above mixture.

emman and kris, thanks sa feedback, yeah, muhkang mas okay ang FC if fast driving and not city, stop and go traffic.

[mtbjr]

Ako laging 14L/100km or greater ang displayed FC ko going to work sa 12pm na alis sa bahay; pero kaninang umalis ako ng 5:30am ay nasa 10L/100km ang rating. I also reset the meter before a travel.

Paano ba may upload ng pics? Sorry ha, nagtry ako pero di ko makita dto sa forum. Nakita ko yun Sonic pero saglit lang. Parang small version ng Cruze. Tama ka...looks sporty. Honestly, sa pinas, maganda talaga ang Cruze, pero dito sapaw sa mga siblings. Naging ordinary tsikot lang. As for other vehicles, I went to Honda area and they have the concept for CRZ. I think they will release it. You have to see it. Maybe sa youtube makita nyo. Also, the new Tucson looks better. Top of my list are the new Dodge Charger, the tiny Fiat 500, concept Honda CRZ, Chevy Camaro and Mercedes CL600.
