Bringing back the GE8 Fuel efficiency
« on: May 10, 2024, 12:56:55 PM »
Hi Everyone,

My jazz ge 2010 is currently running on a 10.4 km per liter
and i am, hoping that i could bring back my GE to its prime fuel efficiency.

is this still possible?
and if yes, what are the things that i need to do?
what are the parts that need to be cleaned and replaced?

thank you so much fellow jazziess

Have you checked tyre pressures
Air cleaner
Do you use 0-30 oil,

Is the figure you quoted for on a run?

You need to tell the
Forum
When last serviced
What engine 1.2or 1.3
What happened immediately before your consumption increased?
Someone will be able to help sort this issue.

10.4 km per litre  (9.6 litres per 100 km  - 30 mpg approx)  seems high.   Has it got worse since you have owned the car? 

You could also check your brakes are fully releasing  properly.  They can sometimes  stay partly stuck on due to dirt and corrosion in the moving parts.   
 One way of checking this  is to drive the car  for half a kilometer or so    without using the footbrake at all, if possible, except to gently stop.   The brake parts such as disc, drums should still feel fairly cold.  If one or more of the brakes ,  front or rear , gets noticeably hotter than the others it may be binding.  You may be able to tell it is very hot without touching it but if necessary  wet your finger and very briefly touch  the brake part.  But be careful not to burn yourself. Brakes can get red hot. 

Also  this fuel consumption may be normal if you only do short journeys in heavy city traffic  .
