It's actually not has bad has you think...around town the averages 9.1 l per 100km...highway at 120kph average it averages 13l per 100km....it's got this cylinders deactivation tec...it shutdown cylinders has needed...few years ago chevy would go from eight to four cylinders depending on engine load but it was annoying has hell..you could feel it when it was switching ...this is a new design...it can run on two cylinders and you can't feel a thing...even the sound of the engine is muted somehow though some fancy exaust work.
