I feel that my accord euro is burning more fuel than required. I get about 350-400KM per full tank of Ron98. City driving, with the occasional hgwy driving. Light footed on the pedal.
What are all you all getting out of your Euros? Any ideas why my car is so bad on fuel consumption?
Thanks.
Can you please tell me the condition (service history and km) of the car?
Are all tyres fully inflated? Nothing heavy in the boot?
its a 2.4 m8y wot u expect 1000 km lmao

Try the basics - even a good service with fresh oil / oil filter / spark plugs and adjustment of tyre pressure etc can bring the economy back on track.
CL9 accord euro automatic usually do anywhere between 10.5-12L per 100km in the city with no highway. take that as you will.
Thanks for the tip. I got my euro from my mate for peanuts. 160k km. Got it for $3k. Completely stock and nvr serviced for a year. My m8 could not give a f#%*. Ha haQuote:

The only two things that I realise was
1) the car has a vibration issue during idle when the AC is on. Can a new battery fix this?
2) sometimes, car shudders from 40km-60km mark.
Not the end of the world but I guess it still does the job.
the shudder might be a CV joint, common fault.Quote:

Just for the record this was the official fuel economy test record for the CL9 2.4 litre back in 2002/2004
Fuel consumption (economy) – urban 13.7 l/100 km.
Fuel consumption (economy) – extra urban 6.9 l/100 km.
Fuel consumption (economy) – combined 9.1 (9.4) l/100 km
