Hi everyone

Thought I would start a post on how my i30 Tourer CRDI Auto has been going economy wise.  Since March 8 2014 when I a took delivery of the new car I have covered just over 11,000km, and have been doing most weeks about 60% country and 40% city/suburb driving.   Some of the driving during the week is a short 2km commute to the railway station in the morning four days a week and back again at night.   A lot of the country driving I have been using the cruise control.

Using Fuelly I have recorded the following fuel consumption figures.

Best fuel consumption between tank fills:  5.02 l/100km  (when travelling 860km from Broken Hill to Kilmore via Mildura, Swan Hill & Echuca.  Probably could have made it home another 90km away in Melbourne with the computer telling me I had 120km left to empty, but wasn't prepared to risk it.  Wimpish I know.)
Worst fuel consumption between tank fills:  6.96 l/100km  (on second tank fill)
Overall fuel consumption:  5.97 l/100km over 16 fills


I am happy with this fuel consumption, and love driving it.  However not quite as low as some people have been recording.

Bushy.I don't have an Auto,but I have found with the manuals,on country runs keep your speed to 100 KPH and it increases you milage signifivantly

Yes that'swhat I thought for an Auto,with our constant running I'm not getting much better than that,I find like Dave though with the running around on good roads down inPerth my milagfe goes down to between 4.2 to 4.7 LPH,but my regular running averages out at 5.2 lph SO YES for and Auto thanks excellent

I think that's good for an auto.
Gotta love those six speeds.
