Fuel Consumption

[assailant]

Canberra is heaps different to sydney.
Theres a massive difference between 100kph in the euro and 120 kph average.

yeah but 119ks on my euro speedo is only 113ks according to my gps..

i wouldnt do 100ks on the speedo when the speed limit is 110ks.

having said that, ill get 600ks out of a tank when driving back from perth (450ks) and then around town the rest of the tank in my oem 04 lux.

Round town(Sydney)get 8.2-9L,on the open road have had as low as 6.5L.BTW mines a manual.

It takes me two minutes to drive to work but more importantly, only two minutes to get home after work. I have been getting 10.5 l/100km in suburban and city driving in my 04 Euro AT. I get around 11.8 l/100km when I'm having more fun.

I worked in Sydney briefly (on transfer to Sydney office on the North Shore). I was amazed that most of my colleagues would have to commute up to two hours to work and the same back home. That's four hours a day of their lives wasted every working day. When did they get time to live their own lives?

The average fuel consumption meter on my 07 CRV AT is not accurate. It is usually quite optimistic in that it under reports the actual average. Don't rely on these meters. Do the proper calcs as aaronng says.

As I said before, using number of kms per tank is not accurate.

The fuel light comes on at a slightly different level to each car! Then, you have a problem where different petrol stations fill up to different maximum levels. It is not consistent enough to compare kms per tank. Go and fill up til the pump stops, drive 100-200km, then fill it up again at the same station and calculate. Then your number will be comparable to all our numbers.

The flow of petrol in which you put into the tank will also determine the actual number of litres you put in....
The slower you pump the petrol in, the less the petrol will vapourise and become gas.
If you pump petrol in fast, you will not be getting the actual amount in liquid form.

Tiny tiny difference..... less than 10ml difference I am guessing.

and then you gotta consider also that when you fuel up your mixing petrols if your changing fuel (e.g from BP to Mobil), and each batch of fuel with have slight variances.

could be the difference of a couple of dollars soon enough from petrol prices sky rocketing.

More than that, you'll be surprised that you can end up losing a lot more than just 10ml.... Can't remember the actual rate of loss but from memory the vapours can take up a fair bit....Add that for a month and that is still some money vapourised....
