Just forcomparison,
3 weeks ago I did 510KM with 52L of fuel.
and i only used Shell Premium unleaded RON95. (I cant find shell optimax)
and yes i tried to drive like a granny.
and using same fuel Now i have done 503km and about little bit less than 1/4 Fuel left in the car. im expecting to do 520KM this time before I fill up another ~52L
how some people here managed like 8L/100KM :confused: :confused:
I'm doing an experiment at the moment with Shell 95 fuel. and I did 320km's for half a tank, 90% city driving but driving like a granny. The 2nd half of the tank, I drove a lil harder 1 day cause I seemed to come across slow asses in the right lane and got the shits :). I'll let you know how many km's I get at the end.

I guess by turning off A/C 80% of the time in winter months helps with fuel consumption figures.
I keep my air con/climate control off as much as I can.
damn...thats impressive...Quote:

No idea how I got much better fuel consumption than all of you.
I guess I do more highway trips than any of you, but I redline my car all the time. lol
Probably like 3-4 times in each of my short 20km trip.
Even on highway, I don't sit on 100km/h with cruise control on. Always on the throttle to overtake cars etc...
Just waiting to see if this kind of consumption will be repeated again.
wat ron is Vortex? 95
they are putting 10c surcharge on top, just rediculus
how is this calculated accurately?

damn..
Dont accord euro's have one of the most amazing feul efficieny ratings for a 2.4 litre car? Somewhere around 7L/100KM average if i remember correctly... how come most guys are getting 9-10 and even more L per 100KM:confused:
Because the fuel savings only happen when you engage the fuel-saving features of the Euro's engine. I personally have gotten the same mileage as the 1.8L auto Astra while driving in Sydney (all travel within a 30km range, from the Eastern Suburbs up to Frenchs Forest).Quote:

I get 9.5-9.8L/100km for that 30km range of travel and 7L/100km for 80% highway and 20% city mix.
Basically to save fuel:
1) Wse light throttle. Very light openings under low loads use the exhaust gas recirculation system.
2) when slowing down, leave it in gear and don't touch the accelerator. The injectors stop.
3) The less throttle you use for normal driving, the more fuel you save.
Do you get that information from the sticker on the windscreen at the dealership? If you do, then it is the most inaccurate measurement that you can ever get. They get that figure based on the average result that they get when testing it on the machine. It can be very inaccurate because it discounts the factor of wind, road condition (elevation, surface condition) in which can be deterimental in measuring the fuel consumptionQuote:
