My Jazz does 6.1L/100km on premium fuel.
Lowest i ever got my jazz to was 5.9, Full granny driving.
Normal driving, I get about 6.5-6.7.
07 Jazz VTIS BTW. :)
wow, that makes me really proud, I did manage to get as low as 5.3-5.4L/100km, and normal driving around 6. running on V-power. and I suspect change of engine to Castrol Magnetec might help a bit, too??
coz ur car drinks petrol yea?
lol how do u guys get so high? i get average of about 6.3-6.5 with mixed highway and city driving.
btw vtec is engaged at between 2800 and 3400 rpm if i recall correctly, although it isnt really "vtec" since all it basically does is open an extra intake valve. ie 16 valves are used in "vtec" mode rather then 12 valves
6.5L per 100km i meant lol
I'm trying to set up my new record this week. Right now, I did 440km on 3/4 fuel tank. 1/4 is left in the tank, let see how many KM I could do with the rest:p
Expect to see some figure around 15-16km/L:thumbsup:
The best I could do is around 14.7 km/L
i did 600km on 1 tank once, but that was all highway driving
i could probably reach almost 650km, but i filled up just to be safe, since there wasnt many petrol stations around lol
gotta love the jazz's fuel economy :D
You guys are crazy drivers...
7.6/100km lots of stop start traffic
Finally I got only 14.2km/L.....
I've got 6.2l/100km for the first 5500 km -- note my commute rarely allows/rewards gunning it. That's for 1.5 litre CVT. The dash reading has matched my fuel purchases/odometer very closely.
Pardon my ignorance, but the jazz comes with a trip computer right? or are most of your estimates manual calculations? im thinkin of buying a jazz, and the figures do look very good
It has a simple computer -- hit the button to cycle through total distance, current trip distance (reset by holding button), and l/100km for the current trip. No instantaneous reading.
I must have driven the loan GLi I had yesterday a bit hard, it was 7.9/100k's in a 1.3Ltr :)
my jazz 03 1.5vtis clocked 75000ks.
done 19.25l = 350km on caltex (the expensive one).
50/50 highway/city
lowest on trip meter 4.2l and avg city 5.5l
just normal driving style.
just happened last weekend during the q bday holiday. brisbane.
got a jazz 1.3 cvt. done 500 kms. I am getting around 6.8 right now. Though i personally still like to divide kms/litre manually the old way hehe....i think that is much more accurate and i am use to measuring that way...
got a 1.3 jazz cvt and i have averaged 6L/100km (50% highway/50% city) in my last thank.
I keep a rigid log of my fuel consumption 2003 vti auto.
The fuel tank is under the front seat and holds 42 litres. The filler pipe from the rear holds 3 litres, so if you fill to the neck of the fuel cap the total is 45 litres.
Fuel consumption varies with driving style, air con on/off and heat of the day.
My best city mileage is 6.5lt/100. No aircon, little ol'lady style
My worst is 7.1/100 with aircon on, normal drive in traffic. All on 92RON fuel. Tried 96RON little change. On 98RON 6.3lt/100, but BP is the only petrol guaranteed to be 98 and is usually more expensive.
Country cruising 5.2lt/100km ave speed 100km/hr.
My overall average is 6.75lt/100km.
I run Nulon full synthetic oil
Been as low as 4.3-4.5/100km with makor granny shifting on my l15 manual. Get about 700 a tank for that. But i rarely drive granny style and get no more than 7 with thrashing and about 550-600km/100.
Mine sits on 5.4lt/100km on highway n city is always on 5.8lt/100km. Mine is though stock and is a 1.3 but....
5.3L/100 with L15A1 CVT driving like a granny and never letting revs past 2500, but regular driving about 7.5L/100
09 VTIS manual. 6.1l/100 average in suburban driving on E10.
04 VTiS 1.5ltr doing 7.3/100 on 16" rims
was getting 6.7/100 on stock rims
lol i get pretty much the same between both on tyres that vary about 1% in diameter
(lightweight 16s and stock)
Something must be wrong with mine.. GD3 VTIS CVT 8.8l/100km.. Used to be around 7.8, but after my last service it has jumped to 8.8. Honda said everything is ok...
reset your tripmeter, and do 100kms whilst driving in D and try not to exceed 4000rpm, when accelerating let it climb to about 2000rpm. and cruising should be abt 1500ish at 70lm/h your end figure should be about 6l/100, if not then something is off.
Cheers. I will give that a try... yes, I was going by the trip computer.
There's definately an issue if you're really using 8.8 l/100km. Even 7.8 l/100km is excessive, unless you drive like you're on a race track or in heavily congested traffic for nearly all of your driving.
How many km's do you get out of a tank? You should be getting 600 but you would be getting <450 if you're using 8.8 l/100km.
First thing to do before you atempt to troubleshoot is to check the accuracy of your trip computer. They can be inaccurate depending on the type of fuel you're using. After filling the tank to the top, reset your trip computer. After travelling a few hundred kms refill the tank again to the top and record the number of litres used (on the bowser), the trip distance travelled and the trip computer l/100km. Real L/100km is then worked out by the following calculation:
LITRES divided by KILOMETRES multiplied by 100 = l/100km
Compare this to what your trip computer says to determine if your trip computer is accurate. If you get roughly the same answer as your trip computer you should then start troubleshooting your high fuel consumption issue.
yeah, my friend's VTI-S manual gets around 6.6 and he drives like he is on a racetrack. I initally blamed my high consumption to Auto and lots of city traffic driving, but still 8.8 is very high. I will reset the computer, follow the driving technique as suggested by GU357, then refill the tank and check to to see if my computer is accurate. Will report back...
Red_s2k try your best to drive on open-ish roads, im not sure how bad traffic is where u r but in perth its easy for me to achieve low consumption.
also i run on 98 always (debatable whether or not its any good), and when u reset the trip meter dont be scared by the initial figures the computer gives out, mine will say things like 20l/100 until i actually get some distance into the trip comp the thing is useless, and will give back poor averages.
Ok, I have filled up the tank twice now and did the manual calculation. Both times I got 7.8l/100km, whereas the computer read 8.8l/100km (i reset it after the first refill). Is there a way to adjust the computer?
disconnect the negative battery terminal for abt 5 mins, put it back on turn the key till the clock turns on if the time is reset the ECU should be too, it will then recailbrate.
also u will notice the auto windows dont work. push the switch all the way down (2 clicks down) and hold it the window will continue down then when the window is down still hold the switch for 10 more seconds then bring it all the way up with the switch at the 2nd click up position. until the window has been all the way up for 10seconds then let go of the switch.
Cheers, will this reset the CVT as well?
yeh it will, but the cvt will relearn its self, mine did
my 1.3L 02 gli managed a best of 5.1 per 100 for me a couple times... now it belongs to my dad, it gets it all the time. my 09 Gli 1.3 manages a bnest of about 5.4 and usually 5.6
mine's (VTI-S GE Auto) roughly around the 400km mark per full tank (around 35-38L) = 8L/100km. Not really that great.
my older GD 1.3 Auto seems to be more fuel efficient.
hmm, most ppl dont use accelerators properly on auto cars, which is why the CVT was great because it would adjust the gears for u without changing the rpm.
most ppl plant the accelerator then reach their speed and take their foot off.
when the lights go on, you can get a lot more kms off it. im saying like... 100
^what?
so if i turn on my headlights my consumption decreases and i can get 100km extra per tank?
i think he meant the fuel warning light
My VibeS 1.5Ltr is averaging 8.8Ltr's/100. Average speed is 37kms/hr so lots of start stop driving. I also tend to accellerate off the line quite heavy.
are u happy with the offline performance for a 1.5?
well theres always... k.
not kellogs but the k20a engine
is that 1.3 or 1.5L? I think I'm close to 500 for 1.3L GD Jazz (IDSI) but ~400 on 1.5L GE (VTEC)
what the tank size of a GE? how many litres from full to light on?
Same as GD, 42Ltrs. Fuel lights comes on really early though, about 10ltrs and trip computer says 0 km's left at 8ltrs. I always drive it down to 0 then plan for a servo in the next day or 2 :)
bad for the fuel pump.
the less fuel in the tank the higher the consistency of dirt and foreign objects now ur pump has to push more sludgey fuel around through the filter, always best to keep over 30% in the tank.
but thats some good economy, those jazzs are seriously great cars
on my 03 vti can get 600 kms. Thats a mixture of off peak driving and little bit of peak.
been doing a lot of highway driving. got as low as 5.5 or so on 98.
best off doing closer to 80kms get abt 5 dead on.
Currently clocking on average 7.0L/100km with my 2011 1.3L Gli. To be honest quite disappointed with the fuel economy, I was expecting better with a small sized car. Admitted I have to drive on hilly roads everyday to work so I'd imagine that affects the fuel efficiency but I normally manage to get by 1.5 weeks on full tank with ~40km drive return trip daily.
Do you drive in alot of start stop traffic
City driving under 60km/h?
Do you rev out to 4.5k regularly?
Are you basing fuel economy off the computer or litres used by how many kms you travelled?
My 1.3l Jazz Vibe regularly gets 5.5L/100kms, cuz i do alot of hwy/fwy driving
Estimated if i push it i can get 800kms out of the tank
Pretty much driving out in the burbs at 60-80km/h most of the time, plus start stop traffic at the lights. I think the uphill drive is the biggest killer, really need to push hard on the accelerator to get the car moving.
Computer says 6.8-6.9L but I've calculated it based on the odometer/kms travelled. Whenever I fill up a full tank the computer says 600+kms but I rarely ever get that.
Only time I've managed to get it down to 5.8L was freeway driving.
Don't read what the computer says when you fill up
Read what the trip meter says a week after you put a full tank in and resetted it
Lol last night during power run, computer reckons i was munching 16L/100KM.
Did burn 3/4 tank on 120KM run.
GD3 1.5L CVT.
B P Australia changed the standard fuel from 93 to 91. I noticed an immediate increase in my fuel consumption. My son was working at BP at the time and confirmed the change. I have tried the 95 and the 98 octane and the 98 gave the better economy. The 95 made little difference and was a waste of money. However, the cost per km was not worth the change, so I satyed with the 91 octane.
i've never noticed any difference in milage, but 98RON feels better
aka butt dyno in car terminology
this thread doesnt look good for me. We do alot of shortish trips, usually 60km streets or less. getting 9.3lts / 100km which is bad. always running 98 from BP. i can confirm however an average of 6 lts / 100km and less on freeway driving. No thrashing what so ever.
1.5ltr jazz vibe s 2012.
its mind blowing knowing people put 98 in there jazz
jesus
if you can afford it 98 is cleaner burning and usually runs smoother in all cars i've had.
I've noted that with the 2003 up models i got no increase milage, but the cars had more kick in them(3 hondas).
In my pre 2003 models i did notice a difference in milage(about 4 hondas).
I've been through quite a few hondas in my time.
i know my lude pings under 98....
maybe his timing advanced
I see pouring 95 waste cos for a few cents more you get the real deal.
I put 98 in my Jazz all time. $50-$60Max per a tank and gives ~550KM before light comes on, depending how naughty we have been with the car.
