My buddy @ work just got a Cruze ECO 5 speed, he says it IS getting 42 mpg.
Talk to him today, it's a 6 speed tranny.

mine is the cruze lt. i'm currently getting 33 mpg. It has been steady rising. I have a kind of long drive to work so this car will pay for itself. Insurance stayed the same as i was payin on the blazer and i'm only filling up once a week right now for 25 to 30$ vs 2 times a week with the blazer at $55 a pop.

My dad recently purchased one of those since his Silverado was killing him on the gas front. They seem pretty nice. Not for me though, I kinda resolved myself to paying a little more in gas for having the leg room. Plus, I'm an suv gal, sitting low to the ground feels odd anymore. lol

luckily i have to drive very little for work...i have a route in my town close to home.
sooo...i think i will keep paying for gas and forgo the car payments.

dont get me wrong, i like new cars....problem is the new smell wears off long before the payments do.
