    Any economy left on the table with a 1.4L in the cruze?

    Looking for a new commuter and am interested in grabbing a new cruze with turbo 1.4l and am wondering if there's some mpg that could be picked up with a tune?

    No replies? Looking for the same here. I know they offer the "eco" model which I would assume has a different tune, so there should be gains right there switching from the stock to eco tune....the question would be is there more room? I would guess yes. I'd love to see someone that has success tuning (with dyno results) and can prove some significant gains over a non-eco model.

    the eco is a model ,they got there gains from weight reduction ( no spare tire) and areo dynamic mods

    I do not think that there is any differences in the tune between the eco and non eco models.
    I have an eco file if anyone would like to compare.

    im running a 93 octane diablo tune that im using hp to tweak a little and im seeing 28mpg city! usually only get about 23-25 stock tune! basically a ton of room to play and pick up some extra mpg!
