MPG for those interested

I too use Sprit Monitor. That is where the number beside my avatar is derived.

I to can get close to this mileage of 3.2l but now too hot (34°C and 70% humidity) .
My last tank refill average 3.89l (using a/c) (904km from ful to empty tank light come up with 45km to empty on screen. (According to user manual should be around 5l in tank) refilled 36l, i think our gas stations cheating.....
Morning trips without a/c ~ 10km with speed up to ~40km/h i getting readings from BC 3.1l/100km.
4 months ago i have issues with braking system
the brake pads wedged sometimes, a couple of times in traffic jams I heard a rumble from behind, I thought that the truck was slowing down nearby, until I heard the same rumble when I was turning around in an empty parking lot, I went to the service center, they told me that they hadn't found anything, but after that the fuel consumption became  decrease.
On trips that not shorter then 7 km with speed up to 40km/h on flat road it's possible.
Japanese Fit e:HEV in specs have WLTP test and JC08 test results, using JC08 test pattern (if someone interested this can be found in the net) car can show consumption 2.8l/100k in town.

So if I drive carefully at 70mph I can get 45.2 mpg average which isn't bad for a 17 year old car with several problems. Note that this was at night in the rain (added resistance from the water) main beams on and I had the demisters on due to steaming up so there was some electrical load on the car, not to mention the stereo that I have on fairly loud.

For those interested, at 110mph with the same electrical load the mpg drops down to 19.5mpg.

I'll pretend we didn't hear that.

Interested and impressed that the old jalopy can get to 110mph.

Foot flat to the floor, sitting at around 6000rpm and shaking like a dog, but other than that it cruises comfortably. If you anchor on quickly though for a junction you can hear and feel the brake fading.

A round trip today of a bit over 30 miles each way mainly on an A road where about 2/3rd of the distance has a 50 mph limit. The fibometer claimed 83.1 mpg on the outgoing leg and 79.3 mpg on the return. The latter included aircon use and a very small headwind. That's an average of 81.2 mpg but I find the fibometer to be nearly 5% optimistic which reduces the average to 77.1 mpg.

I can get more mpg without using the eco mode, I am getting at least 67mpg with which I am more than happy.

Had my Mk4 for 1 week now and first run on open B roads gave a reading of 79.9 mpg

[PTJAZZ]

Already 2000 Km and the consumption still 3.2L average. Photo attached during the trip.

Wow! 88mpg.

Wow! 88mpg.

73.5 mpg. Still very impressive.
Edit my mistake the conversion gave US gallons.
88 mpg right enough.

I was challenge to do 1000 Km with one tank.

Challende accepted.

Done already 1003 Km with this tank, still 225 Km autonomy ( 3 bars fuel left) and BC indicate 3.0 L average.

Long term average in 3325 Km 3.2L

Does anibody say plug-in or electric several thousand EURO  more expensive

[nowster]

That's impressive!

My most recent fill (35.0 litres) was after 446 miles (717km). Two bars were showing on the fuel gauge and about 50 miles range left.

Long term average is 60.3 MPG. (4.683 L/100km)

I live in a hilly area.

So this week (Midnight on Sunday 05/09/21 to 12/09/21) I will do over 500 miles (mostly motorway) in my Jazz which will be interesting. 500 miles is usually 1.5 fill ups depending on how I drive.

It will be 500 miles minimum as long my planned week goes as planned and could be more depending on a few things. Due to my recent relationship situaiton change (ie. new parter lives futher away) it's likely that 400mi a week could become the norm, which is a fair week for an 18 year old 137,000mi Jazz. I have faith though, it's done this before so it can do it again.
