Hi Guys.
It's me again, having now passed the 3k miles since purchase, it seems I'm still doing around a 1000 miles per month, most of it purely for pleasure.
Fuel consumption still appears to be very good with the following results. (see attached pics)
The overall figure at 3073 miles is an average of 68.9mpg.
The last tank refill at 246 miles is 72.4mpg'
Today I did my usual trip from Solihull to Stratford-on-Avon and, for the one way trip (14miles) recorded 91.5mpg.
However I have to admit, that for roughly 4 miles of that trip, I was stuck behind a farm tractor, going flat out at about 29mph !!
It seems the biggest advantage of the eHEV over the pure ICE is in stop/start motoring .
The vast majority of my driving is done in 'B' mode, except where I need to use ACC. The 91mpg figure was in also ECO mode, although I don't really think its make a lot of difference, but it does take the edge off performance.
Now I know that in the UK, the Jazz is regarded as an old persons car, but I have to say, with the much improved acceleration of the MK4 due to its EV power, I am tempted to take on the 'boy racers' on occasion, with somewhat surprising results ( for them!)
My only gripe is still with the so called safety gizmos, where I occasionally forget to disable the RDMS and where the ACC puts the brakes on, when approaching a parked car.
Otherwise for me, it is still the best Jazz so far.
