Ah, so it's an illegal mod! Say no more.

It's legal.

Currently averaging 42.3mpg, which google says is 5.56l/100km. I'm a little disappointed it's not better, but it is the 4-speed auto.

Edit: That must be yank gallons. Actual figure is 6.68 l/100km.

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).

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

Fantastic! What is the speed limit over there on the highways?

Sorry to resurrect an oldish thread, but I didn't want to start a new one.

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

The below pic is 15km after a fill, doing about 80kph (testing to see how low I could get it).

The Gonz · **Reply #49: September 27, 2016, 12:47:36**

6.45 fill to fill showing 7.80
Shown 5.20 equates to 4.3 fill to fill

...assuming all other factors being equal

**Reply #50: September 27, 2016, 12:50:13**

Pretty good figures for a 2ltr auto

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.

The Gonz · **Reply #52: September 27, 2016, 23:17:35**

You can read that as a 5.7. Compare that to petrol and you're still in happyland.

I have a Hyundai i30 2L and currently getting a bit over 10L/100 kms

Since selling my business, my diesel wagon is now the wrong car for my needs...

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.

That's a shame. You may be worth considering a hybrid? They are great in that environment.

Since getting out of business my i30 mainly just sits there.
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.

Fuel consumption - what are you getting ?
