Hello all! I am happy to be posting numbers for my "petrol" i30. I have been averaging 33 US MPG which I believe converts to about 7.1 l/100km. I have removed my back seat. But added at least two hundred pounds of equipment to the vehicle. The car is a 5 speed.

that's not to bad considering all that extra weight your carrying around.

200 pounds isn't that much weight, roughly equal to carrying a passenger around......(wish I only weighed that much..lol)

There is tooooo much talk about the diesel models on here 
I will be posting my results and observations over the coming weeks.
I filled up my car for the first time today  <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt="" title="Shocked" />  took 53 litres to full.
It clicked off at 45 litres, but i managed to squeeze another 8 litres in.
When i picked up the car the trip computer read 30l/100km. After a
day of driving around town it dropped to 12.4l/100km. The distance to
empty reads 520km but i'm hopping i get a bit more than that.

Still trying to find out which model has a trip computer? My SX does not =(

[rustynutz]

The SLX & SR have the trip computer.......

This sort of info can also be found at the Hyundai website, click on "features by range" and then "Expand all"

Cheers

Thanks! Is it possible to replace my SX trip computer with SLX unit?

I doubt it very much (although no one on here has tried from what I can remember) it might be just a software thing but wouldn't be simple

Hi My 2 liter CW Auto has sipped 8.5 ltr for 100 km in the first petrol tank.

That is I have done the maths right 

Am happy with the figure, always better if it goes down !

Herro!

I was just reading somewhere on here that someone tops up the fuel after the nozzle clicks off - I do that too..

I was reading through my instruction manual the other day and they specifically say not to do it.  Why is that?

On a hot day the petrol will expand and overflow.

Best to only do it if you're gonna be driving a fair distance afterwards....

Just did a fuel check on the i30 last week.

All running was done around town only...  9.91 L/100K or for the old folk.. 28.48MPG

Not to bad for a 2L auto me thinks..

[Pranav]

Yep, am having roughly that much too.  It's alright ! not special though.

[Duckman]

I remember getting on average about 7.6/7.7l/100km in my i30. I struggle, and I mean STRUGGLE to stay below double figures in the XR5 turbo!! 

[Ralph1]

We just did a 1000k road trip with our 2lt Auto, around town we have been getting 9.3 l/100ks, and on the trip we got around 8.5 l/100ks.

I had an encounter with the cruise control, when it gets to a decent size hill it goes back to 3rd, then 2nd and revs up to 4200rpms. Now I hit cancel and do the hills myself, also had it disconnect up one hill and turn off!!

cheers

As well as expansion, sometimes above the tank there are flexible pipes that connect to the fuel filler. If they ever perish or crack, you could have an instant substantial fuel leak. I have had 2 other cars where this has happened, with petrol it is very dangerous. 

[Surferdude]

My progressive figure counting all town and highway driving since I bought the car (2 litre petrol, manual) is 8.18 l/100k.

I 'm happy with that.
On long trips I get down to just under/ over 7.00 l/100k.

[Jivan]

I'm getting 9.6/100k constantly... due to the bad feul quality on the island
(1.6 A/T)

i do that

always have at least 1/2 hour to go once filled up. never had any issues with expansion etc.

still averaging 8.1 according to trippy thingy and fuelly.com. i do higher percentage of highway driving than most. i can hit 10+ in brissy fairly easily.

After my last trip (500+500 kms) and according to the Trip Computer:

first 500 kms: 6,1 lt/100km with an average speed of 92km/h
next 500 kms: 5,8 lt/100km with an average speed of 75km/h

 

[Dazzler]

Nearly as good as a diesel (or a Hybrid) Babis 

[Doggie 1]

 
That's damn good economy.

[babis_xo]

It could be far better if we didn't have to stop at 10 (!) toll posts each way (plus 3-4 stops for a short rest)
The (1.000 kms in total) trip costs, were:
106 € for fuel
48 € for tolls
30 € for cofees & snacks

The look on the service station attendant's face when we refuelled her: priceless

Mine has done 29,000km's 1.4 petrol and is reading 7.4l/100km's .  Not to bad

That's a great figure, traffic flow must be good on Malta.
