Fuel Economy

[kuruption1983]

I decided to check this matter myself, so once out of boredom, i filled up my tank till its neck, and i drove all the way to london and half the way back which is about 430 KMs, and my car stopped, so i filled it up with a tank i already had in the car and filled it up @ the next exit,, (our tank maxes out @ 42 litters)
Considering this car has only 85000 KMs, its a really good fuel economy.
But nothing beats a 1996 jetta MKIII diesel, you fill up a 45 liter tank and it will drive you 1400 KMS!!!

I can get anywhere from 250km to 400km per tank depending on the type of driving I guess. I usually get around the 280-320km per tank range.<p>That's not too bad I think considering my engine has 245k on it now and it's also an automatic.

I took these numbers from a test that a motor magazine in Denmark made in 1991.<p>The official numbers from Mazda:
14,1 km/litre at 90 km/h.
11,4 km/litre at 120 km/h
and
9,0 km/litre in city-trafik. <p>According to the test, these numbers were (as usual) a bit optimistic, but only a bit.<p>But ofcause these are numbers for a brand new car with no mods

Damn all of you people and your metric system.

It's funny how the US is the only big country that has NOT changed to the metric system like everyone else has 20-25 years ago. <p>[ April 23, 2003: Message edited by: jpwmx3 ]</p>
