what's wrong with my Jazz fuel consumption? 380km light on?

[Gnat]

What fuel are you using?
Mine has 40,000kms, get around 6l/100ks (mainly city driving), so ~650kms per tank
I use 98RON

In MY 2003 JAZZ 1.5 auto, I always managed to get 550klms per tank with Premium, Now with my MY09 Jazz 1.5 auto, I am only getting 438klms with plain unleaded.

However I was aware that this model jazz would not be as good on fuel as the last jazz. However honda did state the 1.3lt should be a lot better on fuel.

my car is about 2k on clock atm, so i havent changed any engine oil yet. I should change the oil when 10k service rite?

62rocket---> my car is 80% city use. Probably that's the problem !

when i got my 02 model brand new, honda changed the RUN IN oil at 1000 kms, and it was free.

im thinking they need to do this on yours too!

as for the difference between city and highway, if i drive easy i reckon id get 650kms per L on the highway and 550 around town.

I don't know if it's all honda dealers are the same now, but at the 1,000klms service they don't do anything except check over the vehicle. The first oil change is at 10,000klms.

Hi all, I just got 672 kms on a tank (yellow light was on for the last 30 kms or so). Fuelled up, 5.54 litres to the 100km (80% highway driving). 5.54 is about the best I have ever got out of my Jazz 1.5 litre.

In my '06 1.3L lowest I got was 3.4L/100kms on a highway trip. Take that Priuses

My jazz runs quite rich, only around 500km a tank, but thats the price for performance, full exhaust and intake

I think its safe to conclude that the GD jazz has much better fuel economy than the GE Jazz.

the 1000km is technically not a service. It is a post delivery check. Its just to ensure that all the parts are fitted correctly and the vehicle is operating the way it should and for you to have an opportunity to speak to Honda if there are any queries about the car and its fuctions/features

[rosewood]

that's correct however that wasn't the case until a couple of years ago.

Just quizzed my local dealer about fuel consumption. '07 GD3 VTi 1.5L 5spd Manual Jazz (32xxx km). The service guy reckoned anything between 6.0L and 7.0L per 100km for city driving is normal. All depends how you drive it, tyre pressure, air con on/off etc.

We drove up the coast last weekend and had 2x suitcases, 2x adults and air con going strong. The car sat on 5.9L all trip.
