Massive difference between open road and stop-start driving...especially if you have a heavy foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive difference between open road and stop-start driving...especially if you have a heavy foot.I'm glad someone else thinks 18L/km is fair for metro driving.. I've been half thinking something is wrong with mine. Plus I do set the air to 19 degrees (or less) & on all the time, which I read the other day can increase fuel by a margin. So, not only do I have a heavey foot, I like to be cool as well!! Plus I also do alot of very short 5-10 min trips becuase work is close to where I live. Car hardly gets warm before I turn it off again.. Edited 28/03/10 10:54 AM by Joe5619 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From kingaroy to bowen via gympie and rocky. The car said I was using 8.1L/100k's as an average, but with the different injectors I work it out at the pump. The odometer said a total of 1077.7k's for the 2 fuel stops, the gps said 1085 but I used the car's odometer. This was with easter monday traffic.first leg48.67 L569.6 k'sAverage speed 88k's8.54 L/100 k's11.70 k's/Lsecond leg43.52 L508.1 k'sAverage speed 93k's8.57 L/100 k's11.68 k's/L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
