Ave speed on a highway? 60km/h?VGTI wrote:...yes 1000 miles to be exact!
1601.0km and the tank took 57.655l of Engens cheapest
R738,56 to fill up the tank

That was the average speed over the 1601km and that took close to 4 weeks. If you do 60 only it swings the other way and becomes inefficient.Titleists wrote:Ave speed on a highway? 60km/h?VGTI wrote:...yes 1000 miles to be exact!

1st few km make such an impact as your trip is shortScatman wrote:I've noticed that my consumption on my morning commute is heavily affected by the first 3-5minutes of the trip. My consumption starts at around 50l/100km and drops rapidly as I drive out of my neighbourhood. If I can get it down to about 7l/100km before I get stuck in traffic (driving really really slow and coasting a lot), then I end up on about 5.5-5.7l/100km. If I drive more briskly during that initial part of my trip, and I hit traffic at around 12l/100km, then I won't get it down into the low 6's. It seems that the initial part of the trip is crucial. My 14km commute takes me 45-55mins every morning.
Another thing I've noticed, is that I can get better consumption when putting the car in neutral and just coasting everywhere, as opposed to just leaving the car in gear and foot off the gas. I suppose it is because the consumption drops to about 0.8-1.2km/l when coasting in neutral, but you carry much more speed without the back compression of the engine slowing you down. I think it is a fine line between letting the car run in gear on the overrun (using 0 fuel) as opposed to letting the car coast for further while using 0.8-1.2l/100km.
Definitely agree with you there!crawler wrote:1st few km make such an impact as your trip is shortScatman wrote:I've noticed that my consumption on my morning commute is heavily affected by the first 3-5minutes of the trip.

If it was 50km, it would even out - traffic dependent
