Fuel Consumption

[adis]

Picked up my euro and drove it from act to melb, 7.008l per 100km. Impressed.

I was at 9.4 L/100km for a while but just recently it dropped to 9-9.2 L/100km and I had to disconnect my battery for my intake yesterday. Now I'm gonna try keep it under 9 L/100km! I get roughly 700-750km with a full tank. 6MT MY11.

I am getting around 10 - 11 L/100k around town driving. When I phoned up Honda dealer complaining of high fuel consumption they said a major service will fix all my problems. It will only cost me $700

I get 600km from full to light on I have a full exhaust CAI, I have an accord euro CL9 2003 - I drive about 700km's a week mixture of city and highway driving. I use BP Ultimate or Mobile 98

Lol.... Here's what you can do for a lot less than $700...

1. Change to thinner, full synthetic oil
2. Complete injection system flush/clean, $100 -150, if your cars overs 7 years old.
3. Pump up them tyres
4. Weight reduction, get the excess baggage put.
5. Clean/change air filter to something performance oriented.
6. Use 98 octane (caltex/BP instead of crap shell sell)
7. disconnect battery to reset ecu.

I disagree. Going from BP Ultimate to Shell VPower got me an extra 50km per tank.

Sent from my custard cannon like Peter North.

2006 AT Euro, with exhaust mods, K&N filter and brand new tyres. Surprisingly the fuel consumptions been up ever since the new tyres, maybe thats because my wheels are larger now. Best I've got is 11L/100 but this is pure city driving with no highway/freeway whatsoever. I guess this is alright considering im getting 15-16L in the lexus....I've heard that installing coils will improve fuel consumption because less energy is lost to the softer damper/springs while accelerating...is this true?

And the cost of those coils can buy how much petrol? :-p

If anything I'd get a lighter pulley...

haha Ive got coils already, and I didnt get them to improve fuel consumption if thats what you're saying, I got it for a better driving experience and reduce the "boat" feeling that the euro has when turning. Either way Ive got UR pulleys as well and I might add the pulleys did improve the fuel consumption by a lot. The cars got torque from as low as 2000rpm nowadays so theres no need for the car to work as hard as before.

Quick question: If I still have about.. 1/4 of just normal unleaded petrol in my tank and I wanna switch to BP Ultimate/Shell V Power, do/should I wait until I use most of the petrol that's already in the tank first before I refill or can I just pour in the BP/Shell now and it'll be mixed?

Define "normal petrol", you should already have at least 95 in the car so it's alreay premium, so mix away.

Oh yes, I meant unleaded 95. Also, how about unleaded 91? 91 is a definite no for our cars? But anyways, so should i wait until most of my petrol is gone before I refill or is it safe to just mix the two together?

Thanks
