Re: FC comsumption for e46 318i
danny, do you notice at 80-90km/h the car seems to be in a labourious effort...where the revs and all has to be higher thus higher FC?...once you reach 100km/h i believe e car has reached the next gear and is sorta cruising...

Re: FC comsumption for e46 318i
danny.. my F/C is about 9-9.5km/l .. how i do it is i reset my meter everytime i pump full. tank.
60% urban 40% highway gives mi about 9-9.5
jus pumped up jus now... was about 10.. doing about 45%urban 55%highway recently..
i keep my foot super light but when road is clear i'll gun down it mayb 3-4 times a week..

I get about 10L driving conversatively but once RPM goes up (advice from Jeff to clean spark plugs once in a while via higher RPM!), fuel gauge indicator goes down very quickly. Inverse proportional!
Hee, you probably forgot to mention that your right foot also gotten heavier with bigger rims :nehnehhh:jamers;338917 said:

Yo danny,
I've got the same car as yours, didn't do up my engine (stock), 18" heavy rims, and my FC is around 8km/l. 30% highway, 70% city driving.
Every quarter mark allows me to travel 100km.
So I think yours is pretty normal, no worries about it.
Only thing is that do turn off your engine while waiting. I wait for my wife 2 hours everyday with engine off. But then I sit at kopi tiam lim kopi, ha ha.
Hope the info is useful and puts you at ease.
oops.
Anyway, just drive with the fuel consumption needle pointing to 6L/100 km - that will be your optimum speed.

When I drive, I don't look at the RPM or speedometer. I look at the fuel consumption meter. And what snoopy said is true - that at 80km/h, the FC is no good, but at minimum 90km/h the FC is slightly better, and then at 100km/h it is even better.danny_cha;338442 said:

Re: FC comsumption for e46 318i
don't need to test lah, i've already done it.
will be more fuel efficient if you get to cruise speed as soon as possible and maintain that speed.
better still, engage cruise control whenever you can, but make sure you are familiar with how it works first. otherwise you'd be in for a rude shock when you need to disengage in a hurry.
but the cruise control is only for highway driving, do not try in city driving!
in the city, try to anticipate the sequence of the traffic lights - do not gun the throttle only to find you have to come to a dead stop at the next red light. try as much as possible not to come to a dead stop. cars are rather heavy things and overcoming the inertia to move your vehicle from stationary will require a lot of energy, and a lot of fuel. in other words, try to drive in such a way that you come to a dead stop a little as possible.
