Fuel Efficiency

[Watchman]

Hey!

There’s been a couple of posts asking members how efficient various vehicles are on fuel. And with the prices going up by Rs.8/= and with news in the air that it will go up again by another Rs.3/= soon, its getting even more important…

So what do you say we post the following details

Vehicle :

Transmission Type :

Engine Capacity :

Fuel :

Km per Ltr (city/long distance) :

No idea mate, so far that's the best I was able to achieve. I don't think i would be able to achieve anything more than that. May be switching off A/C might help.

Prius is powered by its engine when cruising at above speeds and the consumption may become comparable to that of a Premio. Switching off AC will not save much but if you dare to cruise your Prius at 40kmph on the highway you may get a better mileage. On the other hand, if you do a fair comparison of consumption in the city Prius will make a more significant difference.

Vehicle : Honda Civic Hybrid (2011)
Transmission Type : CVT

No point of mentioning fuel figures for a Prius on highway for a short trip like 100-200km.on highway the "effective" fuel figures might me 35kmpl. how?

simply it will give better figures when it is driven by the electric motor. figures will not be so good when battery is being charged.

then, to have better figures you should have "not that good" figures.

what do you meant by "Effective" fuel figures?.

[GTAm]

Car - Alfa Romeo Giulietta

Engine - 2.0 JTDm2 Diesel Turbo 170bhp.

Gearbox - TCT 6speed (Twin Clutch Automated Manual)

YoM - 2012

Km/L - 10.5 in Colombo mostly in traffic. Highway - never really checked but feels like a lot. Maybe in the region of 14 or 15 is my guesstimate.

And my previous,

Car - Alfa Romeo 159

Engine - 2.2JTS Petrol 185bhp.

Gearbox - Manual 6 speed

YoM - 2007

Km/L - 7-7.5 in City traffic. 9-11 on long trips depending on where.

I'm enjoying the huge saving on my fuel bill.

[fiat fan]

Car - AUDI A4

Engine - 1800cc Petrol (non turbo)

Gearbox - Manual

YoM - 1996

Fuel- 92 octane

Km/L - 9 in city 11 in outstations.. with AC

Moderate driving.. average 60 - 80 kmph

Ex: someone decide to save 100 rs per month from his salary. but in one month he had to lend 75 rs to a friend, due to that he was able to save only 50 rs.

next immediate month he will be able to save 100 + 75 rs.

if he is a Prius owner he will say that he saved only 50 rs in the first month (just like fuel figures in highway).

but in fact he has saved 50+75 rs in the first month. but only 100 rs in the second month.

for the first month "Effective value" is 125 rs, but actual value is 50 rs.

for the second month "Effective value" is 100 rs, actual value is 175 rs

just forget , i was just kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indicator on our premio once only showed me a figure like 21.5kmpl in southern highway and rest of the time, it ended around 16 - 17.5kmpl.

Like VVTi said, there can be calculation errors

Check this Top Gear video (

) you can see a BMW M3 does better in fuel economy than a Prius when u driven then as fast(above 120kmph)
