+1. We had a Dyson before the Shark, and I was stunned with the amount that the Dyson left behind.

You rollin coal in CDA yet? [LOL]
Usaually it's the opposite.
That's how I feel about my '06 Liberty CRD; I love that thing; what an awesome mountain commuter and great MPG for a 4x4. I'm about to turn 220,000 on it, and I expect a lot more.
Thought I'd resurrect this thread.
I had the first oil change on the Cruze and a voluntary recall on a nox sensor done. So far, that's the only maintenance. Still averaging 44 to 48 mpg as a commuter. Shortly after buying mine, wife decided she wanted one. She traded her (paid for...bought used) '14 Impala LTD basically straight across for a 14 Cruze diesel with about 30k miles on it that looked brand new. We picked it up in Missoula, MT and it averaged 54 mpg on the 225 mile drive home. Her's gets more highway miles than mine so the avg economy is better. Filled it with fuel the other day (15.9 gal tank) and the computer said "719 miles" for range to empty. :) She drives 47 miles one way to work so it takes her about 2 gals to make the round trip.

Electric blower. Paid about $21 at Amazon. Always thought they were gimmicky. This thing is amazing. Blows spider webs off the house, grass, leaves...you name it. Handiest thing I've bought in a long time. Makes quick work of blowing dust and dirt out of the shop and garage, too. Awesome.

Electric mower. I have several small patches of grass that are too small to get to with the riding mower and too much for the weed wacker. Plus, the weed wacker really tears up the grass and it's nice grass. This was on sale at Amazon for $89 and I had a gift card for $50. It's absolutely perfect for the small areas the rider can't get to. It's really light, and bags, mulches or uses the standard side discharge. Never thought I'd be using an electric mower but this thing is great. The extension cord is heavier than the mower. I thought the cord would get in the way but you just keep the cord between you and the area to be mowed and it's like it isn't even there. I can only imagine how well one of the higher end, more powerful mowers would work.
Almost a year. Total service costs have been about $85 and consisted of new wipers, O/F/L service and a gallon of DEF at about $2.80. And I just put tires on it today. Drove 130 miles to CDA to Discount Tire because of an awesome 4th of July sale. Curious how the Michelin fuel saver tires would do so watched the fuel economy closely on the way home. This is the result. Just like before it's a rolling 25 mile average. Yeah...60+ MPG is a good thing:
