None of my previous cars have gone over 7000l used while I owned them, I obviously don't do that much mileage.

Same here. I owned the i30 when I used to work for a place that frequently had me on the road, would do weekly trips to Grahamstown, Port Alfred, sometimes Adelaide, Graaff-Reinet, Queenstown and East London.

I put the majority of those kilos on in the 3.5 years that I worked there, and I think I averaged around 30k km per year working there.

Have you still got the Fusion?

Yep.

Still getting decent mileage from the Duster, not as good as the guys with the 4x2 EDC but also not bad for the 6-speed manual 4x4 model that I have.

Less than 1 L/100km more than my 4x2. Acceptable, I'd say.

So far for September


Mostly mixed driving

Still lighter on fuel than my Avant was, if you want to take solace in that fact

Still lighter on fuel than my Avant was actually capable of moving, if you want to take solace in that fact

FTFY

Seriously though, I accepted it a long time ago, it is a 2.2 tonne SUV that I use to haul the family around including a trailer and roof box at times.

With the latest fuel price increases, has anyone changed their driving style/habits?

I am stretching my fuel as far as it can go by delaying trips for stuff that is not urgent, but still driving more or less the same as I was. R28.10 per litre of 50ppm does sting, though, but I am still averaging around 7L/100km with the Duster.

4x4, the older models (2018) get slightly worse economy. I believe the newer ones are mapped better overall.

Also 95% town driving with lots of start and stops, which doesn't help.

Sold my 2.2 crdi Santa Fe that was averaging 6 km/l and now instead using my Clio 1.2 that seems to be averaging about 14 km/l

That's nuts. Mine is about 13l/100km on average

Luckily we don't drive much, it's mostly for out of town trips (camping and such). I work from home and partner uses public transport (yay Cape Town).

As I recall those Citi Golfs were heavy on fuel but that is a bit excessive
