It's still 4 cents off if you have a docket anyway. Plus, the weekly shopping for 2 usually exceeds $30 anyway.

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..

Yep near V6 power with the economy of a 4cyl pulling a weight of 1400kg using smart gearing.
The i-VTEC K Series is a masterpiece

[aaronng]

It's just an engine.

[EuroDude]

Would you prefer a 4cyl KIA engine in your Euro?

[aaronng]

It's an engine, but it's not a masterpiece.
If you want to see a masterpiece, look at next year's VQ35HR. That is a masterpiece.

Yes well lets see how the VQ35HR fairs against the new Legend V6 engine

The new engine is SOHC, prolly not hard to get better as an Excel has newer technology, bit disappointing from Mr Honda.

Whoa... Legends V6 engine will be a turn on..

Well, it makes 234kW without using variable lift like the Legend's engine does.

Here are the upgrades, I highlighted the ones in red as interesting:

5th Generation of the VQ.
Redline increase to 7500rpm
Higher compression ratio: 10.6:1 (previously 10.3:1)
Redesigned block for increased rigidity: ladder frame reinforcment
Increased height of cylinder blocks
New cylinder heads
Improved coolant system flow
Worldwide first hydrogen free DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating for lowered friction on valve lifters
Stronger valve springs
Larger valve diameters
Hydraulic CVTC on intake side
Electromagnetic CVTC on exhaust side
Adoption of isometric exhaust manifold
Equal length exhaust manifold
Reinforced Chain cover
Sound insulating engine cover
New oil pump rotor
Reinforced oil pan
Enlarged crank journal diameter
Enlarged diameter crank pin
Twin knock sensors
Symmetric intake system
Straight inlet port
Iridium spark plugs
Spark plug modified into M12
Asymmetric piston skirt
Longer Conrod
Processing PVD Piston Ring

What they forgot to mention is that the VQ35HR has 2 intakes, one for each bank of 3 cylinders (so there won't be filling problems like when having all 6 cylinders fighting for air from 1 intake plenum) as well as a separate exhaust header for each bank!

Just another noob question:

How do you guys get good economy on an auto euro. I get 14L around the city. mostly driving at 6.30am and home at 5.30pm.

Morning is free run with few lights and cars along victoria parade. Afternoon is slow but moving constantly; if you know Johnston St in Carlton, Collingwood etc. you know what i mean.

Can I please get some good driving tips? I'm still on my Ps Thanks heaps.
