    Hi guys, back with a Honda after few years with Toyota

    I got a 2013 1.3 Jazz GE ("Vibe") auto. Normally it does 7.1 indicated around town and 6.8 in the countries.

    This week I fitted a Pivot 3-drive and drove from Melbourne to Wilsons Prom-Inverloch and it returned 5.7 indicated (6.12 real measured during fill-up). During the long drive I saw 5.5 indicated on the dashboard at times.

    The throttle controller makes it very easy/intuitive to drive in econo mode. And no, I'm not a hypermiler and drive quite spirited-ly

    ... and just to give some additional perspective on how frugal the Jazz is out of all my vehicles

    Is the pivot 3-drive hard to install?

    Very easy. Plug and play, about 30min. First I bought from ebay ($150 shipped) but was fake I think. It works, just can't save the mode and need to select everytime I started the car.

    I then contacted Pivot Japan directly and they suggested this official Rakuten shop ($175+shipping). Works perfectly. The wiring harness is "7A" for my GE

    And yet another big drive ... Heaps of fun on the fast dirt road with Traction Control

    Melbourne - Cann River - Canberra (713km, 10hrs)
    Canberra - Adaminaby - Tumbarumba - Albury - Melbourne (1,049km, 11.5hrs)
    About 50km of dirt and gravel road, used manual shifter
    EC4 setting on Pivot 3-drive Throttle Controller
    1,762km / 119.39L / $134.32
    = 14.75 km/L
    = 6.78L / 100km (dashboard indicated 6.3L/km)
    = $7.62 / 100km

    Those are absolutely cheap way to get around. By plane the total amount would only give me a one-way taxi trip to the airport!

    I wanna drive to Ayers Rock !!

    I dont see a need for drive selection in a jazz. It barely makes any power to begin with. It barely drinks enough fuel to end with.

    If your doing them long distance. Im sure the new models have cruise control. Set the bitch on 110 and cruise away knowing the ecu will be only using little fuel as possible.

    Controlling throttle responsiveness is important in a daily drive which has the ability to empty its 50L tank in less than 180Kms.

    I think it does ... The standard jazz throttle algorithm is quite annoying.

    Fuel economy on Jazz

    I have a 2009 Jazz with the v-tec motor and 5 speed auto 1.3 litre. My daughter drives it and achieves 5.8 to 6.2 litres per 100 all the time and about 610kms on the tank full. It has the optional safety pack that gives you the trip computer.
