Just bought a sedan a few days ago. So far I have 350 miles and tank is still half.

Ziv · 05-12-2006, 10:05 AM

Update, half a tank or so,

306 clicks / 23.5 Litre = 7.68 Liters/100clicks.

Mostly city. probably 90/10 city/hwy.

Could Air/Con be that much of a factor? I had it all almost all the time since it's quite hot lately.

If you Google Victoria, BC you'll see that we even have palm tree's, the "Great White North" is a misnomer used by people that have never been to southern BC.
P.S. 99% of us don't speak french either.

Well said, my friend. Not to dis any of our american's Yaris friends. But I believe many of you guys are mislead by the 'Dumb Box'. It's been 20+C for the past week or so here in toronto other than yesterday it rained all day.
And couldn't agree more than most of us who doesn't speak french, other than those who lived in Quebec.

considering 90% of canada's population lives within 100km of u.s. border, we basically get the same weather that the states do to our immediate south,

anyway, i just filled up and did an average of my last 4 tanks:
5.9L p/100km or
40 mpg
i have noticed that the bottom bars dont' seem to last as long as the top bars, so when i think i am getting totally incredible fuel economy for the first part of the tank, it doesn't end up being quite as good...

but my average for the previous 6 tanks (since new) was 6.7L/100 km or
35 mpg, so there is a definite improvement.

Well considering I have been to Grand Forkes North Dakota a few times one of them being in the middle of winter. I froze my tail off

I think it was 20 below 0 the whole week I was there. Grand Forkes is very very close to Canada for those that don't know.

*sorry to derail*

I'm originally from the Twin cities, MN and lived in Grand Forks, ND for 4 years (1990-1994) I was going to school there at the University of North Dakota ....and it can get REAALLLY cold!!. Back then I was 18, and had a part time job as a Pizza delivery driver. We had to deliver pizzas in BLIZZARDS where you could barely see in front of your windshield, with tempratures hovering around 40 below zero and a 100 below WINDCHILL FACTOR!!!

....I did have some great times in that city, though. (just got me nostalgic when you mentioned Grand Forks

)

Winnipeg is the closest major Canadian city, just about 150 miles north of Grand Forks (the Canadian border is about 75 miles north). Back then I've made the trip up there on a couple of occasions, and in winter it gets just as cold, if not more!!

haha... yeah that sounds right! My buddy graduated from UND also. Thats why I was there visiting him .

I remember seeing my first tumbleweed in Grand Forkes...awwww the memories

I was like "what just rolled across the road?" My friend was cracking up at me.... I felt like I was in the wild wild west. This was during my summer trip out there.

I have drove 300km so far, and the meter is down 3 bars/levels.

It's currently at 5/8 if you count the # of bars/levels.

Speeds have varied during that 300km. The fastest I went was 110km/h, and average speed is 60km/h.

I upshift at about 3000 to 3200 RPM, and regularly downshift at 2000 RPM.

Most of the mileage so far has been city driving, stop and go situations, and a few clicks on the highway.

A/C has been off for the most part...

Ziv · 05-19-2006, 11:50 AM

Update--

Man, I hope these number gets better soon.

390 clicks / 30.5 Litre

7.82 l/100 clicks.

stuffy · 05-19-2006, 11:58 AM

that's not so good ziv, are you driving like a maniac?
