Fuel Consumption/Car type

Down to 9.4L/100km (25 miles per gallon)

I was beginning to think this was it...today it went down to 9.2L/100km though (25.57 miles per gallon). Keep in mind I do mixed driving and the majority of ALL my driving is in traffic

 

[Winky]

I'd love one of these

but it seems the only people who can drive them here are beaners

the only ones I've seen have mess-kin plates

Ford Ka? That'll sell like hotcakes in Bahstahn. They'll think it's a Ford Car.

k the GM site says my combined mileage should be about 8.3L/100km...hopefully it keeps dropping.

 

[Dave]

i had to scroll up to see what you were talking about.

your milage might improve as the motor gets broken in. takes a few thousand miles for everything to settle properly.

Yeah, the Dodge didn't really settle in until about 7k miles.

But she's never gonna see close to what the manufacturer lists as the fuel economy. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/why_differ.shtml

Add one and you get the real one

 

[Nixy]

Add one and you get the real one

Then I'm already below the real one

You're not doing "mixed" driving, by the looks of google earth most of the distance is at cruise speed.

 

[Dave]

that quick with the Dodge. my last car (Subaru) took over 15k to feel settled in. the one before that (Ford) felt settled in before 10k.
must be an american car thing.

ahahaha cruise on the 401 in rush hour? It's North America's busiest highway. I don't cruise, I spend just as much time with my foot on the break as on the gas and a good 40min of my hour or so drive is not on the highway so lots of lights. I don't go right across the highway...that would take me 2 hours

 

[Luis G]

An average of 30km/h is almost cruising for me

[Pedanticman] What about the "brake?" [/Pedanticman]

Well, if it was a constant 30 then it would be cruising...it's not cruising because it's stop and go...go 70 or 80 for a few min...slow to 20...stop for a min or so...it's not consistant
