Hopefully my economy will be too when I get past 10,000km and the weather warms up!

Filled to the brim tonight after 1089.6 km - 54.76 litres for 5.03 lt/100km
For our foreigh friends, 56.16 uk mpg and 46.47 us mpg
Driving to Qld in a few weeks, no reason why I cant approach 1200km to a tank if I behave myself

I get to about 500k's before the light comes on, but then I can usually drive another 50k's before the trip computer starts to flash "--" and then I usually drive a further 30k's or so to get to the nearest petrol station.

I was told to spend time at different speeds to help running in, so did some driving on fourth at 3,000 revs.
I will normally spend most time just over 2,000 revs in fifth.
I do a highway 220 kms drive once a week, so once its run in will aim for 4 l/100km.

Normally, 1,100km before the light comes on. Highway driving all the time.
Now that it is warming up, and I have done over 20,000km time to see some outstanding fuel usage figures.

Trip from Brisbane to Armidale on the New England Hwy ( hilly and lots of curves - but great road with lots of overtaking lanes) 838 when topped up with 230 on DTE total of 1068. Tank took 42.38 l to same point I started ( fuel visible - no froth ) calculated about 5.1 l/100 so DTE accurate.
I guess the range would have been 1060 approx.

I also have a petrol i30. I have just hit 1000km on it... time for it's first service

We should have two polls, one for petrol and one for diesel as there is a distinct difference between the economy of the two engines.
Lately I have been consistently getting 1200+ on each tank, although for convenience and pricing, I tend to fill up short of the 1200km but rarely before 1000km.
Interestingly, when I fill up lately (about once every 7-10 days), the distance to empty shows 907km. Once I have done about 300km, for each 10km I travel, the distance to empty decreases by 5km. I am still to work out when this ratio changes, but I would say it would have to be under 200km.

There is a fair variance in economy between members with "our" model. Thumper and Bob amongst others are regularly getting around or better than 4.7 l/100km where others like Myself and snowman are getting closer to 5.5 L/100km on average...
Tassie where I live is a lot hillier than South Australia where Bob lives and a lot colder. Thumper was the first to establish (against expectations) that the CRDi is more economical in warmer weather.
6.1 is a bit high though and I would be trying to keep your revs between 1500 and about 2600 as much as possible (and use a trailing throttle on down hill runs if you are looking for economy...
That is my take anyway... I've done 16,000 km and haven't noticed any great improvement in my economy. Hoping it will improve a bit as temperatures heat up for summer.
Post by: EymaTeapot on November 10, 2008, 10:33:40
The other question is, is it auto or manual?
6.1 is a bit high for a manual, but more than acceptable for an auto transmission.

Garry says "he hasn't taken it past 4000 in any gear" so I assumed he has a manual.....

1125km in my diesel manual CW, and I still only took 50L. Didn't want to risk any further distance.
Great effort :mrgreen:

Oh, and the car, i30CW 1.6 CRDi 115hp.
Yeah, lately it's between 6-7 lit/100 km. A lot of short trips does that.
