Hi guys, back with a Honda after few years with Toyota
I got a 2013 1.3 Jazz GE ("Vibe") auto. Normally it does 7.1 indicated around town and 6.8 in the countries.
This week I fitted a Pivot 3-drive and drove from Melbourne to Wilsons Prom-Inverloch and it returned 5.7 indicated (6.12 real measured during fill-up). During the long drive I saw 5.5 indicated on the dashboard at times.
The throttle controller makes it very easy/intuitive to drive in econo mode. And no, I'm not a hypermiler and drive quite spirited-ly
Honda Jazz GE 1.3L Auto (year 2013)
Fitted with Pivot 3-drive THC throttle controller, set in EC5 mode
(note that this is a genuine one. EBay versions might be fake and I had to refund it)
Dashboard indicated 5.7L / 100km
Bonbeach - Wilsons Promotory - Inverloch
417km / 25.5L / $28 (ron 91)
= 16.4km / L
= 6.12L / 100km (46.16 mpg UK / 38.4 mpg US)
= $6.71 / 100km
Toyota Landcruiser Prado 3.4L Auto (year 1996) 8 seats
Fitted with non-injection LPG
Very easy. Plug and play, about 30min. First I bought from ebay ($150 shipped) but was fake I think. It works, just can't save the mode and need to select everytime I started the car.
I dont see a need for drive selection in a jazz. It barely makes any power to begin with. It barely drinks enough fuel to end with.
If your doing them long distance. Im sure the new models have cruise control. Set the bitch on 110 and cruise away knowing the ecu will be only using little fuel as possible.
Controlling throttle responsiveness is important in a daily drive which has the ability to empty its 50L tank in less than 180Kms.
I have a 2009 Jazz with the v-tec motor and 5 speed auto 1.3 litre. My daughter drives it and achieves 5.8 to 6.2 litres per 100 all the time and about 610kms on the tank full. It has the optional safety pack that gives you the trip computer.
I have a 2016 Jazz which has the 1.5 sohc (well, there is no other choice).
Based on my last refill:
Distance in km: 472.2
Petrol used in litres: 35.4
Litres per 100km: 7.50
Driving conditions: A to B with moderate to heavy traffic (driving in and out of Norwest Boulevard).
