Just hit 1300kms and still says 100kms to go on my second tank of fuel....

Climate control is on 100% of the time aswell....

The only weird thing is that the L/100kms says 9.1

I dunno lol i know these things aint always right

[Dazzler]

What mileage was on her when you picked her up IMCRAZY?

True, but it's accurate in a certain way seeing it measures the litres of fuel consumed over the kilometres travelled from reset. It's (unfortunately) not a current consumption rate of your specific consumption as you drive... Now that'd be a nice feature.

[IMCRZY]

12 kms and had 3/4 tank...

I took it from the dealer and filled it

and reset all the trip, L/kms and so on

Only had it for 13 days lol

Had that feature with my Subaru and when i was in the mood it lead me to drive ultra conservative lol

Yeah, I wish the i30 had it. It'd make me drive extra-nanna like for a while!

1.4 petrol
5.000 kms
unleaded 95

9.5 - 10 lt/100km (heavy traffic only, Athens)
6.8 - 7.5 lt/100km (120-140km/h*, highway)

(*) .....

All measurements by me, not the trip computer
And i don't see much difference, no matter how i drive (aggressively or not)

[KaeBee]

My limited experience (5500 k) with a 2.0 Auto is similar to yours. My only long trip - Mel/Syd/Mel via Wollongong and Jamberoo pass was about 8.2-8.4 l/100k. But we were sitting on 110k most of the time. Around town 11-12 seems a norm despite a light foot.

[babis_xo]

I think that's fairly good for 600cc, 36HP and 49Nm more

That's what I bought a Scangauge for. Seems to work pretty good. The only think is there is a setting you have to change to make the instantaneous consumption update once per second rather than once every two. At £100 it will of course probably never pay for itself, but heh.

[2i30s]

its cheaper than a trip computer,i use my scangauge every time i drive. 

[snowcherry]

couple of weeks back i filled up at a different station, a Choice one in town. my average 8.4 went up to over 9.0 pretty quickly and even over 10.0 at one point, i struggled to get it back down finally settling at dead 9.0 near the end.
filled back up this week and it went back down to 8.4 within a day.
it was meant to be a 98 premium

 

[joker_mkd]

I took mine this week, and spent my first fuel tank...

Currently the average is 8.7 L/100km (combination of city/open road, mostly flat)... but I'm driving it less aggressive now on my second fuel tank, I guess that consumption will go even lower.

[joker_mkd]

Mine is 1.4 petrol 109 bhp

I just hit 400 km and my average consumption is 7.4 l/100km (combination of open road, city, I would say 50/50% of both)

[Duckman]

Mine hasn't moved off 7.1L/100km for a few solid months now. That's good

[Dazzler]

Mine hasn't moved off 7.1L/100km for a few solid months now. That's good

  That is excellent for a 2.0 petrol...

Yeah. I did start driving like a nanna last year, making sure my tyres are inflated to 38psi, ensuring I cruise at lower RPMs, you know, the usual fuel consumption lowering things

Just an update, since Jan 2008 and nearly 35000km later, my auto i30 SR has averaged 8.6L/100km. Yup, that's about 1L above official figures but the A/C runs ALL the time as I live in North Queensland. Pretty happy with that!!

Good to see you.. Yeah that does seem o/k for an Auto petrol...

[xlink_nz]

I'm a potential i30 petrol owner and have started a new thread on auto petrol 2.0 economy any replies would be very appreciated

[Duckman]

Looks like you have a few already!

I couldn't suggest the car enough, except for when the diesel owners blow their diesel horn and give us thier "fan boy" posts 

PS. (especially) Daz, no offence meant 

[trev012]

I have just bought a 1.6 edition and am averaging about 39.5 mpg after only 3 fillups. I guess that is good [considering my wife also drives it  ] and it is a mixture of driving  but I was hoping to average about 42mpg as the salesman told me I should   
This equates to approx 7.1l/100km as I set up an account with this website http://www.fuelly.com that tracks all your performances. I don't really do a lot of hard driving so I have to say I'm slightly disappointed.

7.1 l/100km isn't bad at all for a petrol car in mixed conditions.
My 1.4 needs almost 50% more fuel in heavy traffic of Athens.

This fuelly.com is a good find Trev

[snowcherry]

hey trev i'm checking out this fuelly.com
but i don't understand what to put in for petrol under the fuels. there is no choice for unleaded petrol and i can understand diesel and gas etc but there's no petrol?   

also no idea on engine type though i guess its not important

[Dazzler]

It's a US site SC.. Gas = Petrol in the US 

They have different capacity for their Gallon too so have to be a bit carful with conversions..

[snowcherry]

they call petrol gas? so what do they call gas? can we have a confused smiley STAT ,,,,,,,,,,,please
so what is premium 'gas' - oh boy

[Dazzler]

Not sure .. maybe thay call it LPG (if they use it at all in their cars..) Guess a US member or lakes might be able to enlighten us..?

Gas is short for Gasoline.. for example the new i45 has a fairly potent GDi motor (which stands for Gasoline Direct Injection)...

[trev012]

Yeah. The Yanks think of everything    Where would we be without them 

[snowcherry]

well i had left those blank, and going in today noticed the site had set it to 'gas, L4'
think i might leave it at that for want of anything better
