But most city driving I do, which is start-stop, alot of on-off engine stuff, my fuel is about 7.2l/100km. So I only get about 450-480km per tank.

I think it's pretty much given that it's scientifically impossible for the Jazz to last 1200km without refueling once. Maybe someone sharing your car refuelled it without your knowledge. You've got it all wrong. Even a hybrid like Prius will struggle to get that kind of fuel consumption in normal driving condition.
Also, your claim that the fuel consumption changed from 1200km per tank down to 600km per tank is a total BS and non-sense.
No worries, coladuna. :cool: Many ppl do not believe my FC's record whenever I share with them. There is no way another person could have shared my car, as I'm driving it since day 1. Believe it or not, I've just no qualms whatsoever. :rolleyes:Quote:

Dude... dun get offended mang.. just that it is a bit impossible to believe a tank of 42L petrol can do 1200km. (not thant we dun believe you) I reckon, the trip computer could be a bit dodgy when new....but after a while of running in, it become normal again...Quote:

Wife has been averaging 6.3L/100kms in the VTi, she only uses the normal CVT mode in D. And very light on the throttle. I have to Vtec the thing once a week just to make sure it gets a workout.
1200 km from a tank is horse shit. you obviously had a problem with your trip meter, thats 80 miles per gallon....... um... NO i dont think so.
my 1.3 jazz sitting on 90-98kmh on a 800 km trip, with no passing, in 5th gear ( which should be optimum economy for a jazz ) i get 680 from a tank ( 5.7l per 100 km ). driving easy around town, it sits on 6.5 to 6.6 L per 100km
and for the hybrid prius..... its only just better on fuel than a jazz :)
i think so :rolleyes:Quote:

The most accurate way to gauge your fuel consumption is to reset the tripmeter when you have filled up the tank and the next time you fill up, see how many litres it takes and use that to calculate the litres/100km.
Anyway, I think everyone on the forum pretty much agrees that 1200km from a single tank of petrol in a Jazz is impossible and a total BS whether it's intented or not.
What are the revs in 5th gear for a manual L15A Jazz at 100kph? In the CVT model it can be as low at 2400rpm if there is no head wind and going on a flat road.

Why I know? I've driven for a long time at a constant 100km down to gold coast. No air con, and the road to gold coast is kind of down hill.
Ive driven down the coast 6 times in 1 day. Pretty much the entire tank was just highway driving. So I think that would be the best fuel consumption we can get. Anyway lower means that its just specifically for that condition (eg cruising in neutral on the way home after resetting meter and filling up -> would produce like 4.8L results)
But if you actually 'drive' the car, 5.7L sounds about right.
My car is also manual L15A - which I believe to save more fuel than a CVT auto.
