Hi experienced lancer owners βΊοΈ,
I'm just a newbie to this whole Mitsubishi Lancer thread. Just bought a CS1 as my 1st car around 2 weeks back. I was able to find an unmolested Manual Transmission Lancer CS1 2007 manufactured . Just after the purchase, I did the engine tune-up from a popular garage for engines. Because when i was buying it, The car was not good at acceleration at all & i inspected several cs1 s for sale i was able to notice the low acceleration and misfires quickly. After the tuneup, the car came up to my expectations.
I'm still struggling to calculate the average fuel consumption. After the tuneup, I full tanked the car and drove 345 Kilometers City ( around 80KM ) and Highway ( around 265km ) and the fuel guage showed 2/3 of petrol is consumed.
When i calculated the average fuel consumption, it was 10.45 kmpl. Since fuel tank is 50ltrs, and 2/3 of tank is 33.3Ltrs, 345/33.3 = 10.36.
According to below image can someone confirm the fuel guage indicates that it has consumed 2/3 of the fuel tank which is 33ltrs ? And another 16.6Ltrs is remaining?
However, due to my old driving habits, On the highway, I drove at 100Kmph @ 3000rpm . For very few minutes may be at 120 , 130 (@ 4000rpm max ) whenever I was confident enough to do so. Even in Colombo I revved it up to 5000 rpm just to enjoy the car when accelerating.
From your experience, could you please let me know at what RPM and speed you get the best milage in city / highway / outstatation ? This would help me to calm down my driving style as well. I have many more questions. Will post here one by one later on.
TIA.
