I just thought I would ask the question .... what are you getting ? :wink:
My 2011 i30 2 litre has just had it's 120k service and returns approximately 400k's per half a tank, (indicated), these day's !
One reason I get this is I take the time to fill it up properly.
Yes, it takes time as its a very slow filler but I find its worth it for the range I get.
How are others going out there ?

Thats a diesel for you !
Amazing ar'nt they ....
Ive just replaced my first set of front brakes pads at that service.
At 120k I thought I did quite well but with the long running your doing Im guessing your going to tell me something that will put that to shame ! :lol:

I tend to drive 5-10 kph below posted limits and take a leisurely pace with acceleration. :victory:

Hi Gonz, that's great. I thought I did well with my petrol i30 on my last trip achieving 7.1 / 100km but the diesel is sure economical. :goodjob2: Must admit I kept to the speed limit of mostly 110 km per hr for a good part of the way.
Hmm, with a similar car to yours, I did Sydney to Wagga with an avg of 6.5 at 110km/h and I wasn't all that wrapped in my result either, given official combined is supposed to be 6.9/100

The official figures are only a guide and are basically there so you can compare between different makes & models of cars. :)
Expecting to get those sort of figures out in the real world is pretty unrealistic...
Here are some articles that may help explain things:

Highway driving at 120/130kph I sit at around 7.6l/100km, but lately my foot has become a bit heavy and in town it goes up to around 8l/100km. I do around 50/50 town and highway driving and I usually get around 600 - 650km per brimmed 53l tank

I think your motor is the older 1.6 Mpi motor as in the Getz? (not the newer Gdi ) Not a bad little motor. :goodjob:

I think (speaking under correction) I have the G4FC motor, the same one as in the first Gen i20's. I am not sure as we used to get the Getz 1.7 CRDI and then (speaking under correction again) a 1.3 or 1.4 petrol engine as well that I am aware of.Highway driving at 120/130kph I sit at around 7.6l/100km, but lately my foot has become a bit heavy and in town it goes up to around 8l/100km.

Sad to say, a bit more than a year ago all I knew about Hyundai was that they had a logo similar to Honda but it was pushed skew :p

The computer gave a range of 840 km. When got back and a one-way trip was 670 km for 37 liters of petrol.

Just got back from a trip to Wales from The Netherlands and i got 5.5 ltr/100km. That's 18.2 km/ltr, which imo is pretty good. Average speed was 100/110 kph (65/70 mph).Fantastic! What is the speed limit over there on the highways?

My last tank managed to get 6.45l/100km (96% highway driving) using the fill to fill method but car gauge was showing around 7.8l/100km :confused:
The below pic is 15km after a fill, doing about 80kph (testing to see how low I could get it).

Pretty good figures for a 2ltr auto :goodjob:I will admit, I have been driving very carefully and having the display in front of me, appeals to my obsessive nature.
The pic showing 5.2 is not a good indicator, as it is now standing at 6.9, after about 150km.

Was an excellent work vehicle (park in loading zones, massive boot storage, flat folding rear seats, roof rails, cheap service and 6l/100km)
Now I'm averaging high 9s in the burbs in traffic and short trips.

I used to regularly do about a thousand kms per week.
Now it goes a month between fuel fills.
My economy is up from 4.3/4.4 to around 4.9, as not so much freeway driving.
