Gen8 Accord 2.4 (CP2) Cumulative Average Fuel Consumption

Post by Peregrine » Fri Jul 11, 2008 9:12 pm

Calling all Gen8 Accord 2.4 (Auto) CP2 [from 2008 onwards] owners/drivers!!

Please monitor your caFC for at least 5 successive refills.

When you are ready, please poll your honest calculated figure ........ and not highest km/l achieved at a particular refill nor any reading from any computerised display on dashboard. Don't be concerned what figures others poll as your driving style, City/Expressway%, traffic conditions, loads, etc. may be very different from theirs.

For those not familiar, caFC is calculated from total km travelled by total volume of petrol from those refills. For accuracy, the point to start refill (say, 1/4 tank) and stop (say, auto-stop of nozzle) for the first and last refills of the series should be the same. Best to use odometer readings rather than tripmeter as the latter can be accidentally reset.

Incidentally if there are long trips especially along NS Highway, those mileage and refills should be excluded.

For those with significant mods like changes in tyre/rim size, engine mods, engine oil and heavy body kits, etc, please also post in the thread, your caFC and short description of the mods.

Hope you would contribute to make the number of polls high and that the result will be useful to all, including prospective buyers.

******************************

Here is an example of caFC monitoring adapted from actual figures for a different model of car. The first refill was to top-up tank to full.

Date.../odo.../distance/.litre./.km/l
18 Mar/10069/........../56.28/........
29 Mar/10666/597……./51.04/11.69
9 Apr../11293/627……./52.33/11.99
26 Apr/11891/598……./51.19/11.68
11 May/.…?.../….?....../51.85}avg for these two
21 May/13004/1113…./53.47}refills = 10.57

The cumulative average fuel consumption for these five refills = (597+627+598+1113) divided by (51.04+52.33+51.19+51.85+53.47) = 11.29km/l.

As long as you keep the receipt which records the number of litres each time you pump, even if you miss writing down the odometer reading on one occasion, you can still calculate FC and the cumulative average figure for the series. The total distance travelled for the 11 & 21 May refills equal 13004 - 11891 = 1113 km using 51.85 + 53.47 litres. So the km/l = 10.57 for these two refills.

What is important is to use odometer reading (which cannot be reset) and not depend on tripmeter which may be accidentally reset which will make monitoring inaccurate.

Please keep the polls coming in!

Those who have just started monitoring, please be patient. Please poll only when you have caFC figure calculated from at least 5 successive refills.

It is advisable to begin monitoring after run-in period, preferably after clocking 5K or 10K km, when the FC figures are more stabilised.

I am sure existing as well as prospective owners will find the poll results useful.
