is that 1.3 or 1.5L? I think I'm close to 500 for 1.3L GD Jazz (IDSI) but ~400 on 1.5L GE (VTEC)

what the tank size of a GE? how many litres from full to light on?

**BiLL|z0r** · 27-08-2012 07:08 AM

Same as GD, 42Ltrs. Fuel lights comes on really early though, about 10ltrs and trip computer says 0 km's left at 8ltrs. I always drive it down to 0 then plan for a servo in the next day or 2

bad for the fuel pump.
the less fuel in the tank the higher the consistency of dirt and foreign objects now ur pump has to push more sludgey fuel around through the filter, always best to keep over 30% in the tank.

but thats some good economy, those jazzs are seriously great cars

on my 03 vti can get 600 kms. Thats a mixture of off peak driving and little bit of peak.

been doing a lot of highway driving. got as low as 5.5 or so on 98.

**GU357** · 03-09-2012 10:55 PM

Currently clocking on average 7.0L/100km with my 2011 1.3L Gli. To be honest quite disappointed with the fuel economy, I was expecting better with a small sized car. Admitted I have to drive on hilly roads everyday to work so I'd imagine that affects the fuel efficiency but I normally manage to get by 1.5 weeks on full tank with ~40km drive return trip daily.

Do you drive in alot of start stop traffic
City driving under 60km/h?
Do you rev out to 4.5k regularly?
Are you basing fuel economy off the computer or litres used by how many kms you travelled?
My 1.3l Jazz Vibe regularly gets 5.5L/100kms, cuz i do alot of hwy/fwy driving
Estimated if i push it i can get 800kms out of the tank

Pretty much driving out in the burbs at 60-80km/h most of the time, plus start stop traffic at the lights. I think the uphill drive is the biggest killer, really need to push hard on the accelerator to get the car moving.

Computer says 6.8-6.9L but I've calculated it based on the odometer/kms travelled. Whenever I fill up a full tank the computer says 600+kms but I rarely ever get that.

Only time I've managed to get it down to 5.8L was freeway driving.
