My fuel consumption has changed since I moved work to city.
I travel around 15km to the Brisbane CBD area and it's pretty much bumper-to-bumper traffic all the way. I'm averaging around 9.2L/100km
It's gone up about 1L-1.5L compared to before when my work wasn't in CBD.
I think it's still excellent considering it's stop and go traffic 90% of the time.
hmm ur fuel consumtion figures are good, the best i've gotten out of the s2k is 9.8/100 the strange thing was that, that figure was achieved on a cruise where the average revs for me were 5-6k, i guess we didnt do much stop-start at all but i hit vtec a hell of a lot, so im not sure whats up...
There is nothing wrong with your consumption figures using those revs. My revs while cruising are 2,900 at an indicated 120kmh or 114kmh actual hence theQuote:

Those are brilliant consumption figures and indicative of a steady light throttle, umm mostly.
I did a comparison test between my Euro Accord 2005 15,000kms and my wife's Peugeot 405 SRDT (diesel) 1993 270,000kms. The Peugeot is $1.88 per 100 kms cheaper to run,on todays fuel prices, but not as much fun.
The Peugeot must be very economical then since diesel is so much more expensive these days.
Hi, I just finished my super Easter road trip to run-in my brand new car (9km on it).
Canberra->Sydney->Newcastle->Hunter Valley->Coff's Habour->Byron Bay->Brisbane->Sydney->Canberra
Totalling: 3300km (sheesh only got the car for 10 days, service tommorrow)
This car achieved amazing fuel economy for me :)
Lowest: 6.3L/100km
Highest: 11L/100km
I almost did the return trip Brisbane->Sydney in 1 single tank of 65L. Good stuff :thumbsup:
Hope your 1000km compulsory service is ok at 3300km, otherwise it may void your warranty.
My consumption was 13L/100 initially, but at 1800km its bumped down to 10L/100km. Hopefully it will lower to 9.1L/100 soon :)
Yeah it';s fine, I checked with the dealer beforehand and they had a car that did the 1st service at 5500km and they said it';s fine.
OMG i pumped Optimax last nite, and i did the calcs - i obtained 12.4L/100km.
All that city driving and it being an auto reaally is a killa.
I'm in the same boat and get exactly the same economy (or lack of). According to the specs the auto is meant to be only 0.1 higher than the manual but in reality it's closer to 1.0-2.0.
Driving like a Atelope on speed in my 6sp this week. Got 9.5L per hundred all in town. Man its sweet to have a 6sp with fuel this high!
That's because those fuel economy numbers are tested while cruising on the highway and in the suburbs under as low a load as possible (very little acceleration). So the numbers you get are not representative with actual fuel consumption. Because of the torque convertor sacrificing revs for torque when driving under load in real life situations, the actual fuel consumption is much higher for autos than manuals.Quote:
