[Euro] Fuel Consumption

I pulled out the nozzle and saw that the petrol was not going down past the flap so it must have been full to the brim! So I got 8.7L /100km with aggressive city driving and this is the first time in my 13000km of driving the Euro where I have come upon such a low fuel consumption for such aggressive driving!

look in UPCOMING EVENTS section of the forum...all the cruise organisations are there :cool:

I am not sure if I should open a new thread or post it in here.

I went to Rapco one day and saw a video, promoting this product call vaporate. It is suppose to save fuel after you install it in the car. There is a web link:

Any though about this product? Is it worth installing? :confused:

So far, manual Euros have been getting about 9-10L/100km city, while the poor autos get 10-12L/100km (did I get those numbers right?).

To add to my previous posting about the Liberty - have been driving a bit further now since the ECU reset which was done at the last oil change 600kms ago. The trip computer has settled on 8.6L/100km of 10% highway and 90% city roughly. So it sounds like the Liberty and Euro are very similar in this respect.

It should work for older cars where the injectors were not as efficient. But for newer cars, I don't think it would give as large a benefit when compared to older cars. At least it sounds more plausible than magnets in the fuel line or metal fins in the intake. However, I don't like the idea of preheating my fuel to 80ºC before spraying it in. I'm sure it would be ok since the fuel would cool down after spraying.

Only 1 thing though, they don't make it for the Euro (nor for any Honda). No Hondas in the upcoming vehicle list either.

My Euro is due for her service next month too. Hope that fuel consumption will improve when I switch from mineral oil over to synthetic.

Next time there is a meet (usually every 2 weeks), I'll make a post in the Accord forums. (and suffer punishment from the mods :D)

Hi everyone :wave:

I just filled my brand new Auto Euro and got 9.8l/100klm from very spirited driving with about 10% highway.
I say "spirited" because I wanted to feel what this Vtec thing was that I've been reading about for so many years.
To say I was impressed is an understatement. I loved it so much I couldn't keep the needle away from it (the tacho needle that is) :D

My 1.8l auto astra got regular 10 - 12 l/100klm and it didn't get driven as hard as what I drove the Euro

I'm very impressed with the fuel usage :thumbsup:


P.S. This is the "right" way to break my car in isn't it? (I mean driving it like I stole it!)

Hi msnealo! You new on this forums? Welcome!

I broke in my car by giving the engine load. No babying at all. But of course, I let the engine warm up for 1 minute before driving off and then kept below 3000rpm without lugging the engine until the temperature needle showed that the was warmed up.

My gf has the 1.8L astra auto too! I was driving it for 2 years before I got my Euro. Same observations there!

Hey, thanks mate, I wasn't looking carefully. Didn't know its not for Honda.

I keep a record of all fuel consumption. My Accord is the 2005 euro manual. On the last 8 fills the average is 7.64 based on shut off at the first click on the bowser. I pretty much exclusively use BP Premium (98 octane). The car has just over 8,000km and our best consumption is 6.44 by my, competitive,wife. These figures reflect country driving at around 70kph to 100kph on mostly light traffic roads in addition I would say 50% of the kms are on the expressway at an indicated 120kph for at least 1 hour to 1.25 hours. Yes I know it is ideal driving and I do see 6000rpm regularly. I am very happy with this as I have performance( Macquarie pass) as well as economy. My worst consumption figure is 8.27 Litres/100kms. :D
