New diesel Chevy Cruze can go an estimated 702 miles on a single tank of fuel
This week, Chevrolet announced that its new 2017 diesel Cruze will get a jaw-dropping 52 mpg on the highway, making it the car with the best fuel economy among non-hybrid and non-electric models in America. Chevy says that means the car can drive an estimated 702 miles on a highway before it runs out of diesel.
(As an aside: Ars recommends investing in adult diapers or inventing a Dune-style stillsuit to reclaim your-err...water-before you try to drive 700 miles in one go in this car.)
The 1.6L, four-cylinder turbodiesel engine has 137hp (102kW) and 240lb-ft (325Nm) of torque, as you'd expect from a diesel passenger sedan. (For comparison, the gas-powered 2017 Chevy Cruze gets 177lb-ft [240Nm] of torque.)
