Sorry to disappoint u but if driving at or slightly above the posted speed limit is grandma driving......so be it, at least i have had no speeding tickets for several years. 75% of my driving is secondary rural roads, 25% country town. A figure that is up to date as of this morning is 33,749km on 2321.66 Litres for an all up average of 6.879L/100km. By the way, a return trip from Sydney - 1407kms in 15hours is not what i would call grandma driving....best recorded fuel consumption that trip was 5.8L/100km. No need to drive like grandma.... or grandpa for that matter......lol

i think u misunderstand the term grandma driver

ther are 2 ways of making ur car move

u can do it with ur foot all the way to the floor, ie max load, ie max fuel consumption, my only style of driving unfortunatley

the 2nd way, grandma style, is to apply minimum load, and only lightly press the accelarator, giving the best fuel consumption

i get around 8.6L/100 kmz from my d17 7th gen civic, i do 70% city driving, and some freeway work, all thrashed, as i love to rev the manual, and im impatient, lol

so what your saying is there are only 2 driving styles.........hooning or grandma driving..........

Same as the comment about driving on secondary rural roads is the same as freeway driving......................so i guess that also means driving in country towns is no different to driving in the middle of Sydney.......oh well......we learn something new every day.......LMFAO

EG5 Boosted

lol, understand wat u want

in my book, country driving, rural back raods watever u want to call them, is pretty much freeway driving

and that explains ur very good fuel consumption

take ur car thru shitloads of traffic everyday, and u will get pretty shitty fuel consumption

esp since its an auto

anyway, i was just justifying y u have such good fuel consumption compared to me

Slightly off topic but coolest things ever....!
I NEVER fill at Mobil (always Shell) but I was desperate!
Pulled into my local Mobil & they were out of regular unleaded....
SO THEY HAD PREMIUM UNLEADED FOR THE PRICE OF REGULAR!
so I filled up a full tank!
I wonder if it'll get me more mileage! lol-I'll report back!

yes, u should get a bit more

dont expect anything very spectacular though

meh...I got it for the same price so I'm cheering! makes me think 'maybe there is something to shopping around for petrol"lol
I can get nearly up to 500kms (gota love a stocky '98 GLi!) so should be interesting to see what happens.....

I'm getting about 380 from a tank in my car. Expected as much with mods and the only time I really drive it is when having a go.
