 CRUZE ECO: MMPG
That's more miles per gallon. It's the next step to even greater fuel efficiency beginning with the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Eco. When you're engineering for maximum efficiency everything counts, beginning with what's under the hood. Cruze Eco is equipped with the powerful and efficient 1.4L turbocharged engine and engineers then added new components to help reduce drag and improve aerodynamics that helps Cruze Eco offer 42 MPG highway(1). From inside to the outside, every inch of Cruze Eco works to get the most out of every drop of fuel used. Its special lightweight 17" wheels wrapped in ultra-low-rolling resistance tires improve efficiency, while the front fascia's standard active front aero shutter feature closes at highway speed to improve aerodynamics.
 ENGINEERED FOR EFFICIENCY
Every Chevrolet vehicle is designed for optimal energy efficiency, whether it's gas, battery, or both. That kind of efficiency doesn't just happen. It's the end result of a combination of technologies engineered specifically to get you where you want to go without ever having to sacrifice. Six-speed transmissions offer more gear ratios to keep the engine in its most efficient operating range, and direct injection ensures that only the precise amount of fuel needed is used at every moment by injecting fuel directly into the combustion chambers. Variable Valve Timing enhances torque at lower RPM and increases horsepower at higher RPM. Active Fuel Management is an engine management system that enables the engine to automatically operate on half of its cylinders under light load conditions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing consumption. The drivetrains on our hybrid vehicles(4) use a combination of battery power and gas engine for propulsion, and the electric drivetrains can function on battery power alone. These fuel-saving technologies are available on many Chevrolet vehicles.
