Re: Update We testdrove a cruze when they first came out. The one we were looking at was fairly cheap with add ons like sound systems, etc for around 17k. I wasn't that much of a fan off acceleration but we did have a full load in it when test driving so thats probably why. |

kudos:1 | gdm, how hard are you on your cruze? What kind of driver would you consider yourself? Sunday driver (light foot), drive it like its stolen, or in-between?  |

kudos:3 | Well I've changed my habits from aggressive / lead foot. I used to do 75-80 on the highway & accelerated from stop. Which gave me about 38 mpg.
Now I roll and slow accelerate from a stop and do between 65-70ish. |

Yeah driving my Insight changed how I drove a lot too. Funny how a real time gas usage display can convince you that you don't have to be the first to the next red light.

kudos:3 | Very true. Construction is still killing me in certain areas. Don't think I'll get 600 miles this fill up. |
