What petrol you use for your Euro?

[EuroDude]

When going downhill, leave it in gear (as higher gear as possible so the car rolls faster).

The ECU shuts off the fuel injectors when you are motor-braking. If you leave it in Neutral, you will use more fuel since the engine has to keep the revs at 700rpm (although the fuel usage at 700rpm is next to nothing anyway so there wont be much difference really).

[Adagio]

Don't do it.Whenever you are in neutral you are not in full control. Just keep it in a high gear if you are in undulating country and don't let the revs drop below 2,000rpm. Going down a steepish hill I am more concerned about control and use the gears to hold the car at a speed I want with occasional touch on the brakes to keep it in check. That 7.4L/100 km is great BUT was it just on the car's computer? If so it is only giving you a momentary glimpse of the fuel consumption. When you fill up is when you know the whole truth.

4.9L/100km is probably the instantaneous fuel consumption.

The average on the freeway will probably be 7L/100km

[EuroDude]

4.9L/100km is probably the instantaneous fuel consumption.

That was the average consumption after about 10km's of uninterrupted highway driving, straight after a refuel (the fresh fuel pressure helps alot).

Yeh average would be around 7.0L on half a tank ~

unleaded 92. thats why my fuel cap says. feels so madd when your 45Ltank is under 50bux and it takes me 600+ kms

[aaronng]

Zic, you have an Euro now?

[EuroDude]

The Euro has a 65L tank, he must be refering to his 45L EK

I know I am a bit anal about this but it interests me and I have time to do it. I fill my Euro (automatic) untill the pumps clicks off then top up to the next full litre (95 RON). I use mostly Shell or Caltex (Wollies and Coles discount dockets). I live in the country (Mid North Coast) but do drive to the Blue Mountains near Sydney frequently (about 350 km) I drive on or just under the speed limit and avoid hard acceleration. The attatched spread sheet is self explanitory. My average is 7.7 litre/100 km. My previous car a Holden Acclaim auto (6 cyl) with very similar driving averaged 8.9 l/100km.
Ok the spread sheet didn't attatch. i'll try again.

[ROBERT]

Trying to attatch spread sheet, I see now it will not accept an xls prefix. Anyone any ideas?

lol man
for a stock car.... and rev range from 2l-3k..... seems like u got some bad driving habbits. I get 12.L highest and average 10.5L and my rev range is 3-5k or more sometimes =)

nah man...i havent been in that rev range...i meant that wif this new tank im going to keep between that rev range as an experiment to test my fuel consumption

[sendok]

HONDA said that euro should be the one with a great safe fuel consumption are they? hopefully it's true but with also a great output power..
