i tried real hard grannying one time and got 480kms from 45L - no highway.

i average 380 - 420 with at least a few vtecs per drive. from 45L

cashout - i dont know what your doing wrong?!?! whats the best consumption youve had driving around town? in the smart?

i get around the 300-350 mark and i'm banging the car around most of the time, mon-fri city driving in and out of work.

Anything over 400km means that your driving it gently, minimal VTEC, definately not much 9k rpms.

That figure included two runs with my mates G-tech. First launch bogged down: 7.0. Second run, clutch drop at 5500 and ran a 6.2sec 0-100 kph.

I take it that those are 0-60mph and not 0-100kph figures? I'm pressuming that it was one of those basic G'techs that measures 0-60mph and 1/4 mile time only. The newer ones (with a graph display) do both metric and inmperial measurments.

Can you clarify?

ps. If those figures are 0-60mph, then that's really 0-96.5kph. In order to 'estimate' the 0-100kph time from that, add ~0.3sec to the times.

"On our trip over a 26 day period we did 5681 Kms. There were about 16 days of staying in same place and 10 days of travel where we did approx 500 Kms per day. I calculated petrol consumption to be .........."

Litres Used = 477.21
Total Cost: $646.36
Average: $1.35 per litre

Comprising: BP Ultimate = 260.16 ltrs, Caltex Vortex98 = 82.31 ltrs, Shell Optimax = 46.08 ltrs, Shell Premium = 63.44 ltrs & Mobil Synergy = 25.22 ltrs

This equates to 8.4 litres per 100Km, 11.9 Kms per litre and 33.62 mpg or $0.11c per Km

Theoretically, this would mean 48 litres X 11.0 Kms = 571 Kms per tank. However, if you're constantly in V-Tec, say doing a steep climb like Bright to Mt Hotham or doing laps at Phillip Island you'll get about 4.0 - 4.5 Kms per litre or about 200 Kms per tank.

I got 100 track km out of a 40 litre tank in my DC2R at a track practice day (drink like a V8 when vtecing) which is 2.5km per litre (6.5ish mpg?)

during last weeks track day, i was about 100kms and about 1/3 of a tank down lol.

The older GTech without the graph comes in both metric and imperial flavours.

Also for anything remotely accurate you need to do 4 runs in 2 directions, take away the best and worst and average the remaining 2.
