Km's per tank? litres per 100km?

[burak213]

my dc5S does 450- 480km

thats with driving like a grandma (although i seen grandma's flog there cars more than mine off the lights)

[1900-hustler]

in all seriousness im happy the fuel price went down.. frankly i dont worry about milage / economy anymore hahah

but when i did i was getting between 420 - 480 easily.. and 500+ on longer highway trips..

but yea those 5min trips to the station, shops, video store, friends house etc = FTL..

edit - it was about 8.5-10.5km/100km - totally stock dc2r

Wow, really gotta check it ay haha.
I'll try again next week and see what km's i get.
However, in those 320km, majority was stop and go. and lots of short trips

on a serious note, my fn2r was doing 500-550! with a few hits during the week...

i never let my car get to fuel light

how many km do you get per 43 litres?

[INVSBL]

can i just say it would be smarter to let ur car get closer to empty and fill less, ull be pulling less weight, it may be minimal but its still a difference.

thats coming from some1 who gets 650-700 out of 40 liters

I think the way i drive when just cruising is the issue... a lot of people say shift below 3k etc... i find that the car isnt very smooth to drive under those revs, so i strethc it out to 3500-4500 before i shift with small throttle openings...

I dunno maybe

You are spot on.

Those that say shifting below 3k is better for economy are incorrect.

Efficiency is determined by load and throttle position.

Shifting below 3k and having WOT to get the revs up would actually chew more fuel.

As you said - stretch it out with small throttle so the motor has more momentum to keep spinning.

In saying that - I average between 400 - 500 k's per tank depending on driving style. And my fuel light doesnt work... lol
