Fuel Consumption

[aaronng]

will try that and report back, thanks

Remember, the amount of throttle you use affects your fuel consumption. So if you are using more throttle at 2500rpm because it doesn't make enough torque, then you will consume more fuel than if you were using 3000-3500rpm with less throttle.

got it, thrash it, then cruise... too easy... thanks..


just gotta remember to back it off before it reaches 6k zone......

Anyway went for 15000km service today, new oil motul 8100xcess.... the rev feels lively and more willingly....

OT - you that black car that is always driving in the right hand lane?

graphite lux man... stock as a rock. im not always in the right lane, i sit in the middle lane if there is space infront, so any hoon doesnt have to slow down for me, and if i sneak past the speed limit, a HP cant radar me from way way back...before i see them, i dont speed often, the car speed just creeps up on you.

got it, thrash it, then cruise... too easy... thanks..

Wait til you start doing Sydney to Melb trips using cruise control. I got 7.0-7.2 L/100km, A/C on.

[as001]

For a petrol engine 2.4 litre n/a car weighing almost 1.5 tonne these are very efficient consumption figures I'm very happy with the Euro

[Merlin086]

I've averaged 9.2L/100k's over the first 20K, but just got down to 6.2L/100k's on a highway trip using 6th gear where possible, no air con, at 100-110k's!
And I believe it does rev more freely after 15k or so.

[tony1234]

I've got as low as 6.8l/100 kms.Sydney to Canberra 4 people with luggage no A/C 110k/hr.

[EUR003act]

i get 600-650km mix city/highway driving, and 500km driving it hard, or 800km highway driving
