is fuel consumption of 8+km/L too high for CL7A?

Post by naro » Wed Oct 17, 2012 5:24 pm

Hi guys,

i've been getting 8+km/L out of my CL7A. is it too high?

I would say that my right foot not the lightest and abt 70%-80% of my journey thus far is city driving. But i feel that getting 8+km/L is still kind of high.

is there anything i can check or bring to workshop to check to find out the reason?

looking forward to your advice.

thanks!

8+ is very high.

personally, i get around 10-11, and my car has no mods, except for 225r17 wheels.

i've heard of people consistently getting around 12.

cheers.
Treat a car like a human. It needs healthy diet, care and grooming, and most importantly, exercise.

if your car is about 5 yrs old, its about normal. Mine was about that kind of consumption, about 440 - 500 km / tank.
i don't know what it is but i want one

no leh.. i think CL7's tank is about 50L.

so based on your mileage of 440-500km/tank, its about 9-10km /L.

i'm getting only low-mid 8km/L.

bro main thing is : whats ur driving style?

70%, 50% or even 100% highways doesnt matter, if u keep getting stuck in the jam during morning and evening hours, driving at 20km/h. you can drive city driving 100%, but at 12am every night, travelling at 70km/h.

so the questions are:

do u always stuck in a jam?

do u always go above 4k rpm?

is your car always picking alot of people or have heavy stuffs in ur boot?

Do u leave your engine running when u wait for your CO?

Do you drive with your windows down on the expressways?

is ur tyres fully inflated?

have u service your car?

have u change oil filter?



else, 10km - 8km is normal. which means fully tank, (not till brim, but first click of the petrol pump) your mileage anything above 420km is normal. If you get 300+ then got problem. go and check ur car.

else dun worry la
