you fellas must be bashing those carsi get 1 liter per 10km's out of my 4.6 liter v8 mustang
mine is bigger, perhaps I am compensating for something.
I used to get 10km/L in my old Rover SD1 3500 V8 in the 80's........ I'm certainly expecting better figures with my i30 i bought yesterday.Dave.

LPH = Liters per hour ?
Supposed to be 43 litres yet I've put 43 into it and was still showing one bar.Must have some big pipes.

my 2 litre 2011 auto is getting 9 kms per litre. City Driving but i drive like a funeral procession. I feel it should be better and will slowly solve the riddle. The tranny might be inefficient but the engine dosent rev over 2000 so it may be a number of factors. i will be inflating the tires to 36 rather than the recommended 32 but i will miss the the softer ride on our terrible Sydney roads. At this stage I suspect the engine is not getting up to operating temperature so will check the temperature sensor as I think the thermostat is OK. No one on the forum or the net has an answer and seem resigned to the fuel usage.
Just got a 2 year old i30 tourer 1.6 petrol 6 speed manual. Nearly didn't after reading some of the horror stories here! But am very pleased. Feels really solid even over all our pot-holes. No creaks / rattles. (Has only done 13,000 miles). But economy is amazing. Only do 8 mile trips twice per day (so didn't want DPF diesel. And I bet our govnt do something nasty about diesel pollution by end of year.)But keeping up with traffic but with a light right foot, trip computer giving me 43mpg on mix of town and country. Brim to brim fill up actually 46. So who needs diesel? Should add I've been using Shell V power last 3 tanks. Will switch back to standard soon to check
