Jazz Milage

i think i got round 8L/100km once in peakhour traffic, so 9 sounds bout right. suppose it would vary with mods/traffic/distance etc.

[-archangel-]

those replies kinda made me feel better now, hehe thanks a lot guys!

at least i know i didn't get ripped off with the car!

Check your tyre pressures too, if the pressures are too low you can use up more fuel, especially on freeway runs.

[fillit]

also wheel size, as having bigger wheels affects how the power is distributed from the gearbox, if you put 18's on a car which would originally run 14's then 1st gear would feel like 3rd when you launch

[ouch]

how do you guys get the trip on the odometer? or is it a thing on the older/newer jazzs? i got a gd3 now and all i see is my odometer... GAY

[fillit]

use the knob on the odometer, when you press it once it goes to the trip odometer and if you press it again it goes to the fuel/100kms.

to reset it you hold it in for 3-5secs. also if you twist the knob it changes how bright the instruments are.

cvt keeps me arnd 7... i dont drive like a hoon, cos im just coming off L's so my driving is very slow, unless i feel like i wanna go fast, then my driving is around 8?

[ouch]

THANKSS FILLIT! you're answering all my questions.
i was playing with my knob all the way home (no pun intended).
i got 7.2 with some spirited driving once in a while, but i just filled up with 98octane, i didnt eat for 2 days.
but yeah do you guys fill up with 91 or whats the go with the jazz freaks out there?

Anyone else find the fuel gauge and fuel light inaccurate? I filled up like 10 liters and it nearly went half way. Car is on a flat surface.

[ouch]

FLIPFIRE! i see that too. and ive been reading around and we're not the only ones. i found that the first half of the tank i use lasts a lot longer than the second half. i got about 300kms the first half, then i drove about 230kms before the light jumped on.

[fillit]

my fuel indicator gives me the sh!ts sometimes, most of the time when fuel light comes on i still have like 7 - 8L left in the tank, and it indicates that i've only used 7L/100km hence it should theoretically go until 600kms.. I honestly just look at the KMs i travel and what conditions i've been driving in to estimate how much is left in the tank.
