the Jazz is a fuel guzzler . . .

[petrovski]

. . . well, not really :p

I filled up the car yesterday and it took 42.06L!!

seeing as the tank only takes 42L i assume the rest is in the pipe but . . .

In the trip computer i did 638.3km at 6.1L/100km so theoretically it shouldn't of taken that much ???:confused:

plus it cost me an arm (for the jazz anyway). I filled up with BP Ultimate at 116.9 c/L. Times that by 42.06 and it cost me $49.17 to fill up the jazz!!

Has anyone had something similar happen?
Whats the furthest any of you guys have got on tank?

also a couple of weeks ago i was driving REALLY sedately and i managed to get 620km on the tank with the trip computer on 5.7L/100km and when i filled up it only took 35L!!!!

I have had only a couple of large inconsistencies like yours. The computer showed 6.0 lt/100km and it actually was about 6.9Lt/100Km and I have also had it happening the other way! Most of the time the computer is only out about +/- .1 - .4 lt/100km. (for me anyway). For example last week the computer was showing 6.5lt/100km and after fillup it actually worked out to be 6.1lt/100km. I use the trip computer as a general guide only.

cheers.

Question is when do you fill up when the light comes on ? of do you still drive around for a while ?

That good figures get 500km a tank on preimum now yet to try ultimate

[wyl03]

for mine, the light comes up between 500~550 km. good for another 100 km.

[icejazz]

Same as above for me. Btw 500 - 550KM light starts to come on.

[Zimp13]

same as mine. as long as u know u can travel roughly that distance, dont bother with the trip computer. It's not accurate and sometimes drive me crazy...

[Geoffy]

I average 550kms before light comes on... I've reached 600kms before filling up once... I use BP Ultimate :D

[spoon fit]

u won't revved up to 3000rpm or 2500rpm, right?

[Zimp13]

y not spoonfit? thats the whole point of having a honda... heheheh

[Geoffy]

I actually race alot with my friends lol... Weekends only...

Mon - Fri i change gears just before vtec kicks in which is 2500 as vtec kicks in at 2700 so yeah... with the peak hr traffic it's hard to vtec anyways hahaha

[spoon fit]

but how can he reached 600km?

[Geoffy]

I plan to hit the 700 mark soon... I go by the rule after the light comes on you can still go another 100kms... Just notice when ur light comes on fill up ur tank and see how much litres u need to make it full... Jazz tank can hold 62 i think? so yeah usually when the light comes on and u fill up u fill abt 48litres?? so there's a good 14litres back up tank left to run...

You got to trust in your petrol ;)

62 litres ? isn't it 42litres and when the light hit you got about 7.2 litres left ?

[Geoffy]

Well I ain't gonna get too technical cause I don't know that much abt tech stuff... all I know is I've been told that when the light comes on I can go another 100kms so I do... and my light usually comes on at 550kms...

TYPEG... you are back to MELBOURNE?? Welcome back dude.

I find the that on my jazz the trip meter isnt very accurate after say 300-400kays, then it really doesnt rise or drop no matter how you drive it

[MRFIT]

the most I filled up was 40.6L of fuel..... and I managed 530Km..... well..... I usually rev to about 3000rpm......

this fuel consumption topic has been discussed to death...... :D just drop it..... aiiiii.....

[FB008]

last big run i did i managed to get 300km from $13 of petrol (i think it was about 96c/l for premium)

was driving like a granny towards the end though... i've never filled it up completely... adds too much weight and stuffs up the power/weight ratio ;)

[Dreams]

please specify your transmission and ENGINE!!

der... :wave:

[Tony]

38 litres for me. I think it depends on the fuel pumps as well, I think most of them aren't very accurate.

[wyl03]

aiyeeeahhh .. full tank = 42L, as stated in the honda spec sheet.

best mileage i have had so far: topped up at liverpool, drove to canberra and back .. fuel gauge indicated i still had 1/4 tank (consumption - 5.8L/100km).

- 1 person in the car
- manual vti

[Champ_B]

but how can he reached 600km?

Its true, he's not talking it up or anything. you just gotta drive without revving high at all and you'll go further, much further. :)

[Geoffy]

I have VTi-S Manual Trans

hey Tony...... nice ride..... how much did u get ur CF bonnet for? any other mods? or pics?

cheers.....

I got someone to carry my CF hood back from overseas, it costed around $750. Single layer dry carbon made by Varis.

[Sp00n]

man.. i dunno how you guys can do 600kms on one tank..
the best i've ever done was 550 on one tank..
and that was on normal unleaded..... but then i always have a heavy car, so maybe that's why mine takes a lot of fuel (people asking me for lifts all the time.. 6 people in the car is "normal")

anyways, thats my 7 cents
i drive a manual VTi-S

[MRFIT]

6 people ???? hehe...... jazz is a pretty narrow car..... how do u fit 4 at the back seat?

or is someone in the boot.... :D hehehe
