Fuel economy when you drive in the city/short distances...

[tadz0rz]

Yeah, i agree, No need to merge, 4B11 and 4B11T will provide differnt numbers and will conflict with the other standard 4B11 numbers.

Thanks. Just got back from sitting in Sydney CBD traffic (bumper to bumper) with buses merging everywhere along Oxford St, Pitt St, Market St, etc... 25L/100km. Not a good sign.

yeah 25Litre driving in the city im' not surprised at tll especially stuck in traffic and given u live in the city makes perfect sense.

U gotta cruise quite a bit to drive the fuel economy down as we all know they start with 90L/100K or something and gradually decline from there as soon as ur car starts moving, but if ur stuck in traffic with buses merging in and out ur constantly on 2nd and 3rd gear at best, can be very consuming.

I recorded some pretty shocking economy as well, and if u get frustrated and floor ur car while a gap's available, then you will soon step into the Veyron territory before you realise.

Been doin alot of night driving lately and I got down to 10.0L/100km for the same journey as the previous one. I'm pretty proud of myself here

[arutha]

i find those number rather odd mate. driving mine around in city traffic the highest it gets is 12.7/100km. when i use to drive up to my ex's place on the bruce highway i use to get between 4-6/100km. i spose the mods i have done could cause the fuel consumption to drop slightly but it wouldn't explain the huge difference between what you and i are getting.

You get 4 to 6L per 100km in an Evo X MR???

The best I can get is low 10's but that being said, I live in an apartment which takes a while to drive in/out at very low speeds, and I also live in the CBD which means I spend a while in traffic before I get out to even normal urban roads with start/stop traffic. I found using cruise control helps considerably in getting the fuel consumption down because my throttle control (i.e. right foot) doesn't seem so efficient.

i get high way like 30 mpg, i dk what that translates in km

[arutha]

i agree cruise control does a considerably better job at fuel economy than my foot ever could. i also find that using the paddles to shift in city traffic works better than just plodding along in normal

[JaCe]

^ really? Using sport? Super sport?

Best ever so far is 450km/tank and thats with cruise control. However I noted there is minimal variance between light foot driving and a bit of spirit (as long as not thrashing)... i.e. keeping it in its sweet spot rather than before the power rush.

[arutha]

normally drive with mine in either sport or s-sport in traffice with traction control half off and just use the paddles. im convinced that driving without the traction control helps because the car relies more on the ayc for control and doesn't engage the brakes constantly.

Best 9.4l/100 out of the ralliart but it`s only done 250k`s so far

[spareparts]

i got mine down to 9.8L/ 100 kms today

[spareparts]

i get high way like 30 mpg, i dk what that translates in km

1 mile to 1.6 ks give or take and i galon is about 4L's...

30 mpg = 7.8 L/100km

[chris]

30mpg [imp gallon] = 9.3lt/100 7.6lt/100 = 36.8mpg these are imp gallons not US, as used in australia in the old days.
Imp gallon = approx 4.5lts
US gallon = approx 4lts
