You need to drive calmly. With an aggressive driving style, when the gas pedal is pressed to the floor, after each traffic light, and accelerate until you run into a line of cars in front of you, and immediately sharp braking. Of course, this way you will reach faster, but in terms of economy, with a calm driving, you can drive 20% longer.

Tips that help save money control the fuel consumption of a Chevrolet Cruze and more
Not lazy, and turn off the engine even with short downtime.
When driving outside the city, you need to move at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour, although many will say that 120 kilometers per hour is possible, but you won’t feel a particular decrease in speed - only 10 kilometers per hour, but gasoline will last for longer.
You should try to maintain a constant speed whenever possible. This is where cruise control comes in handy.
Close windows while driving. One of the most common questions is the feasibility of operating an air conditioner. At low speeds, turning off the air conditioner provides some fuel savings, but on the highway you should always close the windows. When driving with the windows down, the drag increases, thereby slowing down the vehicle. Therefore, more energy is used than the air conditioner requires in maximum mode.
Now the factors that are negative for fuel economy
Tire pressure is low. This does not affect the driving performance much, in addition to ground clearance, but the engine expends a lot of energy to deal with the resistance of the wheels.
Devices on the roof of the car. Devices include (rails, roof racks, cargo on the roof) because of them there is a lot of air resistance, respectively, this affects fuel costs.
Loaded trunk. If you constantly drive with a lot of weight in the trunk, then fuel costs will increase significantly. Therefore, without the need, it is better not to litter the luggage compartment.
You need to plan trips, because the efficiency of a warm engine sometimes increases even up to 50%. Therefore, it is better to make several trips per day than one for several days.

Chevrolet Cruze is a Chevrolet car, which is a global project of the General Motors concern. This model is one of the most successful in the Chevrolet lineup. In the first months of sales, the Chevrolet Cruze was in rather high demand. At least this applies to the Russian market. The premiere of the model took place in 2008, and after a while sales began. In 2009, production was mastered in Russia. Initially, only the eponymous sedan was produced. It should be noted that in Japan, the Chevrolet Cruze was considered the successor to the crossover hatchback of the same name, which was produced from 2001 to 2008.
In addition to the Russian Federation, Cruz was produced in Australia, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Kazakhstan and other countries. The Australian version was named Holden Cruze. As for the American market, there the model was called the Chevrolet Cobalt, which in this region for a long time remained among the first among the compact C-class cars.
Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback
Chevrolet Cruze Sedan
Chevrolet Cruze Touring
A hatchback based on the Chevrolet Cruze was introduced in 2011, and the station wagon debuted in March at the Geneva Motor Show. After that, all three body types became available. By that time, global sales of the Chevrolet Cruze had already exceeded one million units. A distinctive feature of the station wagon is a capacious trunk of 500 liters, which can be tripled (up to 1500 liters) if the rear seat backs are folded down.
Station wagon sales began in 2012. At that time, versions with a modernized 2-liter diesel engine, as well as a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, were already available. The first generation Chevrolet Cruze was updated only twice - in 2012 and 2014. For the first time, the MyLynk entertainment media complex became the main innovation, and the next time (in 2014), the car received a Chevrolet Malibu-style appearance. After the Cruze left the Russian market in 2015, its sales eventually ceased around the world. Then came the all-new Cruz. It is available with a 1.4-liter 153-horsepower turbo engine.
The resource of the power plant and the comfort of driving a car depend on the quality and correct choice of gasoline. Therefore, you should visit only proven gas stations. The large volume of the gas tank allows you to operate the Chevrolet Cruze for a long time without refueling.
Fuel consumption on a Chevrolet Cruze with different engine sizes
The sedan, on which the turbo 1.4 engine is installed, is the most economical of the entire model range. More "gluttonous" cars have engines of 1.6 and 1.8. liters. The fuel consumption of a Chevrolet Cruze is detailed in the tables below.
Below is the consumption according to the passport of a car in a station wagon.
Filling the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback 1.6 is required less often than with a 1.8 liter engine. Fuel consumption for different configurations is shown in the table below
As can be seen from the above tables, a mechanic has a lower consumption than an automatic.
The fuel tank capacity of a Chevrolet Cruze is 60 liters. The capacity that the gas tank has is the same for all body types. The capacity is quite sufficient for short trips.
Recommendations for choosing gasoline for refueling Chevrolet Cruze
According to the manual, it is recommended to pour 95 gasoline into the tank. This fuel is optimally suited for engine operation with various loads. The presence of a large number of additives forces car owners to fill in more low-octane fuels.
When driving on 92 gasoline, many drivers note that the full potential inherent in the engine does not open up. This is observed on models released in both 2012 and 2014. In turbocharged engines, piston burnout and damage to their seats often appear. As a result, the combustion chamber does not close completely, the compression drops, and the car loses significantly in dynamics.
The car owner should be interested not only in the brand of gasoline, but also in the impeccability of the gas station. Otherwise, the mesh that serves to prevent contamination from the gas tank from entering the fuel line may become clogged.
Easily fixable "malfunctions" that lead to increased consumption
Chevrolet Cruze owners are often faced with a situation where an increase in fuel consumption is not related to a car malfunction. This happens due to a change in driving style, previous route or weather conditions. For example, if before that most of the journey was on highways, and during the increase in fuel consumption, the driver drives mainly in the city, then this is not unusual. Snowfall can also affect the amount of combustible fuel in a big way.
If none of the above has changed, then the first step is to read errors from the on-board computer using a diagnostic scanner.
Many drivers do not pay attention to tire pressure. At the same time, the manufacturer has recommended values \u200b\u200bthat can be seen if you open the manual. If the tire pressure is too low, the rolling friction will increase. This in turn leads to an increase in fuel consumption. In order to correct the current situation, it is necessary to pump up the wheels.
The most common malfunctions leading to excessive fuel consumption
An increase in gasoline consumption is possible due to damage to the fuel system. During the impact of the car with the bottom, damage to the gas tank may occur and fuel will flow out of it. The neck also often cracks. In order to eliminate the depressurization of the system, it is necessary to find a leak and eliminate it.
The most common suspension problem is camber misalignment. The suspension can be damaged if the car gets into a pothole. Very often, a specific knock accompanies the problem.
To fix the problem, you need to visit a service station and check the parameters of each axle on a special stand. If the suspension “fell down”, it may be necessary to repair it with the replacement of defective parts.
Maintenance and consumption
Spark plugs that are not changed on time can also cause abnormal engine operation. In the most advanced cases, this causes tripling. Underburning of gasoline due to the passage of a spark leads to its release into the exhaust system. This creates an additional load on the catalyst, and also increases the amount of gasoline consumed.
There are also problems in the fuel system that can lead to overruns. The most common of these are nozzle contamination. The wrong torch will not allow all the fuel to ignite. As a result, suboptimal combustion leads to the same consequences as with faulty spark plugs.
The oil poured into the engine and gearbox has its own resource. When it ends, the lubricating properties deteriorate significantly. If the owner is negligent, then an increased load will occur in the friction units. If you delay with the replacement of consumables, then scuffing may appear and it will not be possible to eliminate the increased fuel consumption by simply changing the oil. An overhaul of the engine and gearbox will be required.
A clogged air and oil filter can also be the reason why the car owner will have to fill up gasoline more often. In the first case, the air-fuel mixture cannot be formed in the correct proportions, and in the second case, the friction units do not receive enough lubrication. You can fix the problem at the first stage by replacing the filter. If their replacement was not carried out for a long period, then significant wear of most of the nodes could occur and one cannot do without a major overhaul.
Incorrect vehicle upgrade
To give the car an individual stylish appearance, car owners install a different body kit on it. With the right selection of mounted elements, this gives a positive effect. The car gets better handling. Many car owners are engaged in tuning, focusing only on the decorative side of the purchased parts, they are not interested in the practical part at all. As a result, the installed elements worsen the aerodynamics of the car and the air resistance becomes much greater. In this case, the increase in fuel consumption is logical. In order to eliminate overspending, all thoughtlessly installed stock parts should be removed.
Chip tuning is good because if the engine is not properly configured, you can roll everything back to the factory settings. There is a special button for this in the software. Therefore, many owners decide to increase engine power with it. As a result, this leads to improper operation of the power plant and excessive consumption of gasoline. The same applies to the thoughtless modernization of the power unit. Installing a turbine, increasing the combustion chamber with stock elements can lead not to an increase in the power of the power unit, but to an overrun of the consumed fuel.

Good afternoon
I express my deep gratitude to Alexandra Suchkova for her responsiveness and understanding of my life situation. Alexandra found an opportunity and found a window for putting our car in for repairs until June 11, 2013.
The situation is as follows: we have a very sick child of seven years old (infantile cerebral palsy), on June 11 we have to go with him to the city of Yaroslavl and then back to Moscow, and the air conditioner stopped working, for a child this is a very difficult trip, and even without air conditioning, you can’t open the windows catch cold. Alexandra did not protect herself with a service uniform, she showed truly sincere care. As a result, on June 6, all the malfunctions were repaired for us, and I left your City Center with gratitude.
I also want to express my gratitude to the receptionist, unfortunately I do not know his last name. Excellent professional, thoughtful and thoughtful.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, GOD KEEP YOU!

The Chevrolet Cruze is a popular passenger car from a Korean car manufacturer. This machine is considered one of the best, because it meets modern standards, pleases with high quality and reliability. You need to understand that every driver is obliged to carefully study the design features of the Chevrolet Cruze and combine them with technical parameters.
Main technical data
Chevrolet Cruze has the following dimensions:
- length - 4597 mm;
- height - 1477 mm;
- width (excluding mirrors) - 1788 mm;
- wheelbase - 2685 mm.
Attention! At the same time, motorists can count on a 60-liter fuel tank. In most cases, fuel tanks are 40, 50, 60, 70 liters, and this indicator determines the dimensions of the vehicle and its class. For example, a small car may have a 30-liter tank, medium models - 50-60, full-size - 70. You can guess that the Chevrolet Cruze is a reliable medium-sized car.
Many novice drivers believe that the volume of the fuel tank is not one of the most important indicators. However, fuel consumption indicates that such an opinion is a banal misconception. Of course, knowing the average fuel consumption allows you to understand how many kilometers a full fuel tank will be enough. In addition, on-board computers guarantee the ability to find out up-to-date information and track the amount of remaining gasoline. In fact, the volume of the fuel tank is an important indicator, since it largely determines how comfortable and easy it will be to plan various trips on the Chevrolet Cruze.
Important! In 2012, a serious restyling of the Chevrolet Cruze was carried out, which remains popular to this day. Now motorists can choose a sedan, hatchback, station wagon. For each modification of the vehicle, a 60-liter gas tank is available. After only 5-7 liters of fuel remain in the tank, the low petrol light may come on and you will need to take care of refueling the car. Many experienced drivers note that the Chevrolet Cruze tank volume is optimal even for fairly long trips.
How to fix a leak
A car gas tank can start leaking in various situations. In any case, prompt repair of the car tank is required to eliminate the existing malfunction. Even if there is a small scratch on the sealed structure, gasoline will leak and only a timely appeal to the craftsmen guarantees further safe driving.
Motorists note that driving even for short distances with a leaky gas tank threatens with a fiery fire and any unpredictable consequences on the road. The only way out of this situation is to promptly carry out repairs to restore the tightness of the car tank.
It is mandatory to drain the fuel from the gas tank. If the gas tank is conventional and a hose is inserted into it, the fuel can be drained quickly and efficiently. In this case, you just need to insert the hose, lower it a little lower and pull it slightly towards you. After that, the gasoline will drain safely.
On modern cars, gasoline cannot be drained, so Chevrolet Cruze owners should contact the workshop specialists and take care of the repair. The only way to get rid of the existing fuel, which sometimes threatens to ignite, is to unscrew the fuel pipe or use a punched hole to drain. Only masters know how to successfully and easily carry out repair activities.
Advice! The simplest gas tank repair also turns out to be saving. For example, you can use a screw or bolt, a small piece of leather or rubber. This option is only possible with a small hole. If a screw is used, you will need to put a leather or rubber gasket on it and screw in the hole. After a properly done repair, you can pour gasoline into the tank. However, even such actions do not allow you to refuse to contact the service station.
If the problem turns out to be specific to a car enthusiast, all you need to know is how you can successfully fix the problem. The best and most reliable way is to weld the gas tank, but a thin steel structure must be processed taking into account numerous nuances. If desired, you can solder the structure, and the subsequent service life will be calculated in years. It is important to note that the solder with the metal of the tank leads to the appearance of a galvanic connection, as a result of which a destructive chemical reaction occurs. The sealed place will need to be carefully painted over, and covered with epoxy from the inside.
Successful repair of a Chevrolet Cruze gas tank guarantees the restoration of the tightness of the structure, as a result of which the risk of fuel leakage is eliminated and car trips become safe.
