Fuel consumption

[upup]

Wonder what a Jolly [haval] and a chery gets. The sales men say very excellent.

I don't understand how many of you can afford to have the AC on during such tough economic times.

I experimented with this and turning the climate control off made no noticeable difference to my fuel consumption.

Are these recommended?

well, they sell like dounuts. But people buy them for features and price.

I remember getting about 1km/l more while living in Welkom because of all the circles and no traffic lights.

 

[SirFooK'nG]

5.1l per 100 average on the first half of a 600km drive yesterday in the Forester

Ac makes very little difference to consumption

108kw 2l turbodiesel, mated to an absolutely superb CVT gearbox.

As far as I understand aircon is more efficient over certain speeds than having windows or sunroofs open which creates extra drag..

I'm saving fuel this month by nit driving, trying to go out as little as possible. School holidays means I'm also saving on the school run, and that's my biggest fuel expense usually.

Just filled up the Amarok at work, bloody hell but this is ridiculous.

Range showing just over 900 at the moment, will see what the average is like by the time I get back to Stellenbosch

Bloody damn potholes. Picked up a Damaged rim and rocking a marie biscuit in the GTI. The upside is that this has resulted an average consumption of 6.5 so far, down from an average of over 11 in my daily commute
