Best fuel economy

[Mystique]

2013 My14 LX
Manual

7.5L/100ks around the city/suburbs
7.0 - 6.0L/100ks highway driving
And for some weird reason, when I'm down the east coast going from Scamander to St Helens 5.8/100ks


And of course
anywhere between 10-11L/100ks after my fiance drives it (since I've taken part of my snorkel off, he can't help but put his foot down for the extra noise)

CVTs arent to bad either for fuel mine suprises me at times

I know the smaller engines use less fuel but just how big is the difference?

There isnt alot of difference between the 2 and 2.4l CJ's! I have owned both and i get very similar readings in both driving sensibile, both city and highway / country driving!

power wise there is a differnce after having ago at driving andrews the other day i could feel the power difference engine wise and manual to the cvt ( which is mine) but it all depends on how u drive them flog them and u wont get good fuel economy etc if i throw mine into sports mode i dont great fuel economy etc still not bad but not as good as non sports mode

Yeah I know taking it to 6k in 2nd doesn't help LOL

I've not driven a Lancer with CVT but did drive a new Pulsar with one, omg the difference. it was also the base model so stuck with a poky 1.8 and just 96kw so I found it slow and the CVT revving the engine too much it felt like the clutch slipping in a manual.

Back to the Lancer and I know the claimed fuel usage on paper but it will be interesting seeing how it does in a long trip with 3 people and luggage.
