mileage is almost 9000km.
A lot of spirited driving :thumbdwn:
Was at bondi junction westfield yesterday... trying to leave the carpark at around 4.30pm... OMGWTFBBQ!!! takes u atleast 15-20mins just to leave the damn carpark due to traffic, everyone is trying to get out =.=
Bondi junction westfield ftw! I miss that place. It's like an asian car park where everyone is fighting for a spot.
you should see burwood westfield in its peak hour HAHAH, 30mins - 40mins gg.
All Westfields are a joke to find a spot to park your car.:thumbdwn::thumbdwn:
haha it was actually fine finding a spot... so many free spaces when i went there around 2. its just when i left... yes... gg
How many free hours are they giving now? Last time it was 3 hours and after 6, its open all the time. Then its 2 hours.Quote:

I used to go there for movies when it was 3 hours.

If u go for movies, u can ask them to give u 1 more hr free parking. So that makes up 3 hrs if u go for a movie. Well I know Bondi is. Not sure about burwood
I dunno... I pump up my tyres all the time after I fill her up with petrol
I'm a conservative driver - honest... never really rev above 3000 thesedays and cruise around 1500 - 2000
fill up half a tank everytime, last time i did about 190 km's on a tank which was few clicks till mid way
I've got exact half a tank of vortex now, usually drive by myself - light :P and also gave her new high flow lungs
i'll see how it goes
Measure by filling the tank to max, resetting your trip meter, drive til you feel like filling up, fill up to the max again and then divide the number of litres filled the 2nd time with the number of kms you drove.
When I did city/suburb driving, I got 10-10.5L/100km. The worst was when I was stuck in traffic jams 3 out of 5 days, I got 12.4L/100km.
When I did Sydney to Melb, I got 6.6L/100km but that was full cruise control all the way. With more throttle, my next Sydney to Melb trip brought me 7.5L/100km.
from my tax receipt yesterday:
filled up 54.12 litres and 610kms - so my consumption this week (city driving) was:
54.12/610 * 100 = 8.87l/100kms - is this correct?
^^Yup!
8.87L/100kms CITY DRIVING! wtf =.=Quote:

should probably keep in mind that the definition of 'city driving' is subjective... how many start/stops, distance driven, average speed, 5at/6mt, driving style, etc. i think it's quite difficult to compare two different cars, drivers or routes, especially for city/suburban driving.
i get 12-13L for city/suburban driving (5at) also. i think this seems to be inline with the official fuel consumption ratings in the UK accord brochure...
6MT, peak periods - m4/m2 - euro fuel consumption rocks !! :thumbsup:Quote:

okay aaron help me a brother out. i fill up full tank, 100% city driving and i get about 400kms a tank T_T. if im lucky 450 - 480km.
yeah, me too.........i think its cause most of my trips are between 10-15minutes (100% city driving as well) but i'm also wanting to find a way to get more out of a tank........Quote:

Main thing is throttle position. Accelerate gently using light throttle and middle RPM. It's fine to shift at 3000rpm using light throttle. It uses less fuel than using heavy throttle and shifting at 2500rpm. It's also better for your engine as you are not lugging it. For those who do short trips that your engine oil never gets the chance to warm up, your engine will be running rich to speed up the warming up and that consumes more fuel. Nothing much you can do if you drive only short trips. To give you an idea of how I get 10.5L/100km in city driving, even an old auto Camry 2.2L driven by a lady is quicker than I am. :) Even with that, I still squeeze in 1 full throttle redline go each day.
ok - penrith-M4-seven hills - M2 - chatswood - st leonards - crows nest - lane cove - west ryde - M4 - home. my daily trip.:pQuote:

I just got 8.4l per 100km. I just did a CAI ( fujita) and a topspeed header install.
20% was highway and 80% city driven pretty hard. I cant believe i nearly got 700km before the light came on. Its really incredible this car.
those damm 2.2 camrys !!!Quote:

The car is 6MT.
P.S does any know the difference between a base model euro and the luxury one?
Cheers,

I got 320km from half a tank, which was driving very granny like which was all city driving and 10-15 min trips a lot too. I think I can get that higher too. Auto btw with air con on probably 70% of the time
So yours is around the 120K kms?
i noticed that half way to empty the tank seems to empty faster. any body know the reason for this.
my daily drive is home to freeway - 5 minutes and speed limit at 80km/h. then i hit the freeway which is vtec on ramp too 100 2nd gear then 6th all the way to uni. about 10 minutes at 100km/h 2500rpm. get into city and into uni carpark. 2 traffic lights. very short distance.
i get 550 - 600.
cruising at 60 im always in 5th with light throttle. i notice i seem to take off very quick compared to other cars. and pop it into 5th asap.
fun.
What do you mean?Quote:

the euro measures the tank vertically and the tank has less volume at the bottom than at the top.Quote:

maybe its too much vvvttaakkkk~
oops sorryQuote:

Just wondering if anyone has a car with similar KMs clocked on theirs and how is their fuel consumption at the moment?
Just curious if the fuel consumption gets worse as the car clocks more KMs
Oh alright, I got mine with only 65XXX on it in pretty much new condition, still with new car warranty so. I think 120 is pretty high for a 2004 one :SQuote:

yeah i think so too
most likely not getting that one anymore but would be interested to know if anyone on here have that much KMs on their car is getting what sort of fuel economy on it.

Having said that, it also depends on how well maintained the car is, service history, engine run in .....
/clap wowQuote:

85K on the clock, been averaging 650km/tank for past few weeks. mainly suburban driving.
Did you install a hybrid electric motor in your car? Or do you live in a city with no traffic lights and speed limit (Alice Springs city)? 760kms in 95% city mode is just simply fantastic, and I could not believe that number. That's 7.8l/100km!Quote:

The secret is to short shift (i.e. keep revs below 2000rpm) and use quarter throttle. Just be sure to not let the engine get too bogged down.
Anyone with performance mods willing to share their fuel consumption figures? Since I modded up my car I hardly ever think about fuel economy and always exploits the power. But I am surprised I still get a reasonable efficiency. Thumbs up for i-vtec!
Nah dude, i live in sydney and do mostly peak hour driving to and from work in the city. as someone else mentioned, light throttle, keep it in the 1800rpm to 2500rpm band. dont load up the boot with crap, and keep your tyre pressures 10 - 15% above the placard reading.Quote:

lol i think i'd die if i had to drive like thatQuote:

With the jtune xtreme prototype (yes, still waiting) I'm getting, over the past 6,000k's with the xtreme fitted............
Around town 9.2-9.5
Trip, highway 6.5-7.2
Overall Hwy70%/30%Town 8.4l/100k's
I tend to drive around town in fifth due to the increase in torque.
lol i cant believe u still have prototype WTF!
What can I say.....not really surprised............:eek::(:thumbdwn:Quote:

with my minimal mods i do around 11.45/100km mostly city driving.
when it was stock i almost drove to port macquarie and back with 1 tank was scared so i topped up (6.3l/100km).
NOTE:It also depends on what fuel you get i was using BP ultimate.
Canberra to Sydney (into the CBD) I managed 6.8L/100km. On the way back it was 7.0L/100km. I guess it's uphill all he way back. :)
Ok here are official figures for my car :)Quote:
