2015 Chevy Diesel Cruze. How accurate is the dash mileage?
Drove it almost exactly 200 kms and it said avg mileage 3.6 lphk best 3.6 lphk.
The needle is still touching full.
Searched Google didn't say anything really.

I picked it up went to fill the tank, put some Diesel Kleen +Cetane Boost from Power Service in it (before filling), pumped the tire pressure up and went home.

If that is anywhere close to accurate that's cool.
Im curious just how off it is though.
 
LPHK? Little People of Hong Kong?


Most of these on-board computers are a bit optimistic, but typically within 10% or so.

Liters Per Hundred Kilometers.
I'm surprised Pete.

Well, yeah. If I don't recognize an acronym, I enter it in Google.

I knew it couldn't have been it, but it was funny.
 
I've heard of people getting 60+ mpg in those cars with a little work on highway drives. If your drive was almost all highway it's likely within 4-6 mpg or so.

Depending on gas station mine's about 5-10% too high. Probably the same with the CTD since it's basically the same gauge cluster.

I would have to say the Mileage must be very accurate.
My avg for the first fill overall was 52.8 mpg US that included some very bad city mileage.
My new record is 3.5 set today, I could get that down a lot lower if there weren't so many hills here.

I will have to do a mileage run highway only and see like I did with the Outlander.
Maybe in a couple weeks.
