Mine continually reads 14, but I'm actually getting high 12s.

seduced Need more power. Now taking donations. Member 753 Member For: 16y 3m 13d Gender: Male Posted 18/08/09 11:56 PM Share Posted 18/08/09 11:56 PM yep, mine read 18-20L/100, then I disconnected the battery for a while. Now reads 12-14L/100, still slightly out, but close enough.

Lately I've been doing a lot of 5 minute cold start trips (most of it spent idling either at traffic lights or getting the car in or out of the garage) and my fuel consumption is BAD. For few days I was not doing any other driving but this and my average consumption was at 24 l/100km.

Everytime I fuel up, I reset my "A" trip computer so I know how many km's I do before filling it up next. Then, next time you fill up, just divide the km's done on the current tank by the amount of fuel you put into it. Simple. And yes, the car is way out with it's calculation.

Mine since new has been averaging about 13.5L/100K. I don't floor it at every traffic light now but a quite few times along the way.

What should be done is this:Litres used divided by km's done multiplied by 100 to get the value per 100km'sYou need a full tank initially for it to work. So for example, say you just done 500km's and put 50L of fuel in to fill it back up.(50/500)*100 = 10L/100km's - So that's an average of 10L per 100km's traveled.So with my car, I'm getting about 550km's from 58L(58/550)*100 = 10.54L/100km'sSorry bout the mistake on my behalf, dunno what I was thinking...
