alright.. so i got pissed and i'm making the ONE and ONLY fuel economy thread.. don't like it? bite me.. there's NO point in going over the same stuff in various threads.. over time i'll compile some articles and information and post it up here.. for now just some rules
i'm not being a nazi BUT with mpgs (UK and US) L/100 and km/L as well as filling up when the light comes on vs driving on fumes and then filling, it will be MUCH easier for you to assess your fuel economy when comparing with others'.
rules to follow and this work is 'under way'
THE RULES
use the following format when posting about YOUR fuel economy
Year: [2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007]
Engine: [2.0L | 2.3L | 2.3L DISI]
Performance Parts: [ intake (or filter)] [ headers ] [ exhaust ]
Driving Style: [ granny | normal | spirited | red line from stop to stop]
Driving Type: XX% city, YY% hwy^
*Light went on at (if at all):
*Kilometers since last fill: ZZZ km
*Liters filled: WW L
Mileage:
For your help, below are quick conversion links
L to US gal
US gal in L
L in UK gal
UK gal in L
L/100km in mpg
mpg in L/100km
* These can be omitted if you provide the value for mileage.
^ I would classify any trip ~ 5km to be city driving as well as stop 'n go traffic on the highway. Highway driving would then be the same as driving consistently at ~70kph+ with infrequent stops.
