The car is as fuel efficient as you drive it. Heck, I've driven a 1.3L car and gotten 13L/100km out of it, same for both city and highway driving! The reason being in the city it needed 5000rpm to accelerate and at 110km/h, it's sitting at 4000rpm!
The Euro's engine is above average in fuel consumption, ONLY IF you make use of the fuel saving features. Look at the Mazda6. It's about the same weight as the Euro, but it's smaller engine uses more petrol.
Usually what I do with the published fuel consumption numbers is add 1L/100km to it. And that would be closer to real life.
So very true only if the car was in true perfect conditons every day 365 days a year would you get the quoted fuel consump& I doubt that would ever happen to any of us!Quote:

It all depends on the driver, I can vouch that i'm not the most efficient person when it comes to saving fuel, but I still pull an average of 500km, and fuel up 55L each week. And this is peak city traffic driving, and zipping around the city and suburbs during the day and night for work and personal. Aircon is always on, and I have my windows/sunroof down sometimes (for those who wanna get into drag effects about fuel :p)
For the first 3 years and given the fact that we follow the service schedule, our engines should be in pretty good condition that we won't have abnormally high fuel consumption. :)Quote:

I manage to get 312km and its not even 1/2 tank yet (still got alot to go!), while I drive in non busy streets normally (Canberra 'traffic') i only get 290 for 1/2 a tank... bare in mind, canberra 'traffic' i mean i only stop at 1 traffic light and its all roundabouts the whole way...
weird i can't figure that out... looks like my euro loves to be revved... and it use more fuel if it just driving it easy..
Try revving it high on non highway driving... :)

Eurotony :thumbsup:
mate i was revving it ultra high on non highway driving!!Quote:

That's because you don't brake as much when compared to city driving. The engine consumes more fuel when there is load placed on the engine.Quote:

I think much of it is to do with the fact that not all petrol bowsers fill up to the same point. This would cloud the figure a lot more I suppose when I fill up after covering only a short distance. If not, I don't see how I can make sense of such a huge difference considering that my driving pattern and the roads i travel on hasn't changed at all.
I think you should get off the crack, not anyone else here.Quote:
