Trip/Fuel computer was introduced in the 06' model.
do some math when you fill it up.Quote:

2. Before driving off - reset the trip counter by pushing in the button near your speedo.
3. Next time you fill up, make sure you repeat step 1, and make sure you place the nozzle at the same notch. After you stop then do the simple math. eg. If you put in 48.4 litres and the odometer says 440 klms then you have been doing 11L / 100klms.
Here is the formula: Consumption Rate = (Total Refiled Litres / Klms Travelled) * 100
Don't forget when you fill to the top - to reset your trip-meter
My Euro MY06 5AT has clocked about 800km. Drinking 12.8L/100 on caltex 98 and bp ultimate.
That 's such a high volume considering I don't drive too hard, typical gear change from 2500 - 3000 rpm and no hard breaking. I mostly drive on suburb roads.
can anyone share some insights. is this high comsumption due to non breakin???? or because suburb roads?
800kims is very early days. That said, I have been following this thread and the auto Euro seems to have remarkably high consumption in the city. Not very good at all compared to the 6MT - even when the 6MT is pushed hard it is tough to get 12l/100.Quote:

At around the same kms I was getting 8.02 L/100kms. I drive a Euro Lux manual. Riight now I am at 20,000kms and averaging 7.52L/100kms in mostly country driving at 100kmh + AND I do Vtec frequently. Eurobro's fill up formula is excellent and to make it even easier when calculating just delete the decimal point from the litres used and divide by the kms travelled. I do think to give real indication of consumption you should average say, 4 fill ups. Those Honda diesels are looking more attractive each day as I watch fuel prices rise. I reckon the Accord Diesel would achieve at least 6L/100 kms. Our old Peugeot 405 diesel does this regularly.

but yeh...i've got a manual 06 euro...and in the first 1000kms, i used to get shit fuel consumption too...
about 11.5-12L/100kms...
and nowdays i get about 9.5 on BP ultimate, 10.5 on optimax or vortex...
and that's 100% city driving, and i do hit 6000rpm multiple times everytime i drive...
Agreed. As I've mentioned earlier in this thread, the auto is a very different animal city v highway. I'm at 5500km and with 100% city driving over the life of a tank I get 12l/100km. On the highway I easily get 6l/100km. What intruiges me is the city figures have improved with time, but the highway figures have remained constant (I got 6-7l/100 the first weekend I picked up the car).Quote:

Everytime put in bp ultimate on Tuesday for 45 dollars the most 49 weekly and fuel is like puking out of it's neck.
can anyone work this out for me? :)
I've found the same thing with my auto Euro. When I first got it I'd get about 450km's (or less). These days around town I get 540-560km's. I've got just over 20,000km's on mine so far. Highway driving economy has always been excellent. I must admit I don't hit the higher revs as often but still do it enough to blow the cob webs out :)Quote:

I tend to rev my car up to 4000rpm max and let it build speed gradually. hope that helps. :)
