Using higher quality fuel will get you better economy - eg 98 octane instead of the E10 unleaded they sell here in Australia. I don't know what regulations you have in Iceland for fuel quality - maybe the fuel quality isn't so good over there? Second, Petrol is advertised to be @ 6.7L/100km for the manual, from Hyundai's website, but only once broken in will your car get this low.Driving economically is an art - ask Hans or our own Bob and Shambles.NB - Just as an example for comparing long-distance to short-distance driving: in my Charade, I usually drive very small distances around local metro area for 9.5L/100km - if I do a 1-off 190km return trip to the beach (with 120km being 70-110km/hr constant speed), I get 8.3L/100km. What sort of driving do you do?
I use 95 octane on my car, but I can get 100 octane V-Power too, isn't that just for sportscars ?And I should have mentioned that I do not drive economically, I usually rev high and just think economic driving is boring I tried it once and got about 6.6, man that was boring I almost had to buy an old mans hat to drive with
Laugh when you see them pulled over just down the road, booked for speeding!
some recent testing in Australia showed that regular unleaded is the cheapest per km, e10 is dearer and then the premium ones are dearer still [citation needed] of course, don't use any lower than the manufacturers recommendation
Im averaging 550km's per tank in my 1.4. Thats combined motorway and town driving, im not a slow driver but then i dont race the pants off of it. Is this about right. I thought i should get a little bit more??
I filled up today with about 43~ litres. I had driven 470km, and I was still sitting on a quarter of a tank! (2.0L Petrol).
Most of my driving is town and I get about 350 miles to about 45 litres (1.6) in our current temps. During the very cold spell my average was as low as 28mpg
The fuel meter runs down slower with full tank, then it will drop faster
Well, after I start to drive my I30 2.0 petrol normal my consumtion is arround 11,5 lit/100km. Well I have only a few km to work so my car never have the time to wormup
