Fuel Consumption!

KanataZ · 01-06-2013, 05:20 PM

The navi fuel monitor generally shows 12.5l/100kms and that's mostly light city and backroad driving (three seasons only). The Transport Canada fuel consumption numbers are pure fiction IMO.

Manual Tranmission - City L/100 km (mpg) 11.8 (24)
Manual Tranmission - Hwy L/100 km (mpg) 7.9 (36)
Automatic transmission - City L/100 km (mpg) 11.5 (25)
Automatic transmission - Hwy L/100 km (mpg) 7.8 (36)

PS. for those south of the border quoting miles per gallon, note that our gallon is bigger than yours so even non metric needs to be converted for this discussion

My average in the city is around 11.6L/100km. Lowest was < 8L/100km when I reset the fuel economy thing while driving on #1 highway. I have a CBE and that's it.

I get about 560km to my tank close to 600. I've been known to baby my car though so im a little bit of an exception lol

Amuse370z · 07-10-2013, 03:15 AM

My gauges show 15.8l/100 km. This is 90% city driving. Is this normal?

I'm still breaking the car in (500km so far) and don't go above 4k (went over maybe 5 times total).

Also, I had 3 dots left and went about 480km before I decided to fill her up myself for the first time. How many kms do you guys get per tank? Do you guys fill her up when its flashing or...?

I never checked and I really don't care! I went from 8 to 12 in the H2 after I put a Duramax in it

I'm getting around 650kms per tank. I'd say maybe 250-300kms are hwy.
I do occasionally rip it but drive like a granny the rest of the time. For regular city driving I think I normally drive at 2k rpm and end up shifting at 3-3.5k most of the time.

zefaulter · 07-11-2013, 02:47 PM

I have done this a couple of times with 650km/tank. I'm surprised I haven't faced the fuel starving issue

I get approximately the same 600-650km/tank I can drive heavy at times and like to launch from all stops (controlled acceleration to the speed limit is perfectly legal

)

I always use the same 91 octane ethanol free V power from either one of the same 2 shell stations + regular oil changes every 5-7000km or some where in between. I do it every 8-9 weeks which in total is 3 times over the course of the Z driving season

zefaulter · 07-11-2013, 07:10 PM

You gas up every 8 weeks? Or change oil?
