the Jazz is a fuel guzzler . . .

[petrovski]

. . . well, not really

I filled up the car yesterday and it took 42.06L!!

seeing as the tank only takes 42L i assume the rest is in the pipe but . . .

In the trip computer i did 638.3km at 6.1L/100km so theoretically it shouldn't of taken that much ???

plus it cost me an arm (for the jazz anyway). I filled up with BP Ultimate at 116.9 c/L. Times that by 42.06 and it cost me $49.17 to fill up the jazz!!

Has anyone had something similar happen?
Whats the furthest any of you guys have got on tank?

also a couple of weeks ago i was driving REALLY sedately and i managed to get 620km on the tank with the trip computer on 5.7L/100km and when i filled up it only took 35L!!!!

I have had only a couple of large inconsistencies like yours. The computer showed 6.0 lt/100km and it actually was about 6.9Lt/100Km and I have also had it happening the other way! Most of the time the computer is only out about +/- .1 - .4 lt/100km. (for me anyway). For example last week the computer was showing 6.5lt/100km and after fillup it actually worked out to be 6.1lt/100km. I use the trip computer as a general guide only.

cheers.

Question is when do you fill up when the light comes on ? of do you still drive around for a while ?

That good figures get 500km a tank on preimum now yet to try ultimate

[wyl03]

for mine, the light comes up between 500~550 km. good for another 100 km.

[icejazz]

Same as above for me. Btw 500 - 550KM light starts to come on.

[Zimp13]

same as mine. as long as u know u can travel roughly that distance, dont bother with the trip computer. It's not accurate and sometimes drive me crazy...

[Geoffy]

I average 550kms before light comes on... I've reached 600kms before filling up once... I use BP Ultimate

[spoon fit]

u won't revved up to 3000rpm or 2500rpm, right?

[Zimp13]

u won't revved up to 3000rpm or 2500rpm, right?

y not spoonfit? thats the whole point of having a honda... heheheh

[Geoffy]

I actually race alot with my friends lol... Weekends only...

Mon - Fri i change gears just before vtec kicks in which is 2500 as vtec kicks in at 2700 so yeah... with the peak hr traffic it's hard to vtec anyways hahaha

[spoon fit]

but how can he reached 600km?

[Geoffy]

I plan to hit the 700 mark soon... I go by the rule after the light comes on you can still go another 100kms... Just notice when ur light comes on fill up ur tank and see how much litres u need to make it full... Jazz tank can hold 62 i think? so yeah usually when the light comes on and u fill up u fill abt 48litres?? so there's a good 14litres back up tank left to run...

You got to trust in your petrol
