2010 Chevrolet Cruze!

**Starex_Gold** · June 5th, 2010 11:32 PM

Motioncars tested the 1.8 A/T model and they averaged 8.36 km/L.

Nabasa ko nga iyan. Nagulat ako kasi magandang figure ang nakuha nila. Sa auto industriya nakapag 14.6km/L sila sa highway.

Siguro proper break in lang para maging maganda ang FC

Maybe, but aren't modern engines already broken in or partially broken in at the factory?

*moipogi, about the octane rating, the recommended fuel for the Chevrolet Cruze's 1.8 ECOTEC is 93 octane unleaded.
Using high octane fuel like Shell's 97 octane V-Power will not necessarily improve the fuel economy or performance of your Cruze because its engine was not really designed for this kind of fuel.

For example some cars like the Ferrari F430, BMW M3, Honda S2000 or Civic Type-R use high octane fuel because thats what their high-performance high compression engines need.

PS:It takes more energy to ignite high octane fuel.

Ang mass produced cars ata hindi na-break in sa factory. Not sure bro..

Pero kailangan tuloy ang break in until 1000 KMS. Tapos change oil. Lahat ng cars namin during break in period walang ginawa kundi humataw. Lahat sila maganda ang FC at power.

Hinataw ko din yung altis ko during break-in this year hehehe ganda ng FC

. Sa mga cruze owners ihataw nyo during break in baka sakaling gumanda ang FC, suggestion lang

. Though may nabasa nga ako na modern cars are usually broken-in to some extent sa factory.

I just had the part upgrade from my dealer. True enough it was the quick-release connector. They gave me a car care set as a gift and had me fill out a survey form from Chevy Philippines. At nakuha ko na rin plaka ko sa wakas! I also had a window visor installed.

To: resident evil; moipogi; and everyone else who owns a cruze, Have you gotten a call from your dealer regarding a part upgrade as well?

Do you guys know na ang category pala ng cruze natin sa LTO eh midsize sedan? Kaya mas mahal registration nito. Abonado nga daw dealer ko kasi nasingil nila sa akin eh 10k lang.

^^^"part upgrade"...

recall?

**Epats** · June 6th, 2010 04:04 PM

Na break-in na sa factory mga lumalabas na bagong auto kaya lang walang load.

I got the part "upgrade" as well and the gift. My Cruze is now at 3.3k kilometers. Fuel mileage is improving a bit but hardly noticeable. I just noticed that pulling power from 0 improved.

Does anyone know when, if ever, they are going to bring in the 2.0 liter variants? I'm thinking of trading in the 1.8.

To those who have posted their FC: Is that your ACTUAL consumption? Or did you base it on the onboard fuel consumption meter?

I'm asking because my actual FC on my LS 1.8 AT is 15 km/L (highway) and 7 km/L (around town). I've consumed a total of three tankfuls and driven 1,600 kms. So that's an average FC of about 8.8 km/L.

The onboard FC meter does not reflect the actual consumption. It gives out a higher consumption, something like 11 km/L and 6 km/L, for highway and city, respectively.
