I got 4.9l/100km on a trip to a Durban to CT trip in a 1.4 tdi Polo a year ago. I had 3 days to get down there so I cruised at 100km/h all the way to see how economical I could be. Really good consumption but JEEEEEZZZ it was boring.
Through the Karoo I was sitting at 4.3 but the hills towards CT pushed the total up. Got 1090km from the tank before I filled up.
Around town the polo is about 5.6l/100km but with price of diesel atm I'm not sure I'm saving much over the slightly less frugal petrol polos.

My motorbike is getting exactly 4.0l/100km at the moment (nearly all town driving). With the best run of 3.1l/100km but that was a slow (constant 90km/h) ride of about 160km on the freeway.

Zaphrox - rotary's are always a bit heavy on juice (and oil for that matter). Beautiful car though

what you talking about, the 1.0l Yaris can top 175, and the 1.3 hits 195. they aren't bad little cars but don't throw in a load and then expect to hit over 160
No dude-they can't.
Acceleration 0-100 Final 15.7
That's the 3 door 1l version.

Specifications
Would suit: Knee-jerk Toyota buyers.
Price: £13 495 (R197 500).
Performance: 193km/h, 0-100km/h 9.3 secs.
Combined fuel consumption: 7.2 litres/100km.
That's the new SR which is R100k more then the 1l as above.

Oh and this is the official Toyota specs which will be optimistic.

Which brings me onto my next point.
What about a hybrid system in the yaris? It would need to be a smaller version then the Prius because of weight and size but essentially you would get down to about 4l. That's what we need.

please ask Mr. Norris and Xiphan. they have both seen 175 in the yaris 1.0l, with me at teh wheel.

Killerbyte & Co. Stay on topic. This is not the speed of a Yaris thread.

LIES!!!!

My sister-in-law has the spirit. that thing can barely do 160km/h
then who ever is driving it doesn't know how to use a gear box.

Or has a problem putting it in 5th gear...

I average 9.4l/100km in my polo 1.6 classic.

No but its traffic driving and mostly I do 120 on the highway when I can. The car is just heavy on fuel.

Post by **maxxis** » 11 Jun 2008, 15:43

My Jetta gave the same figures. I think its normal

Frozenfireside · Post by **Frozenfireside** » 11 Jun 2008, 16:44

It is but that seems to be a VW car feature-fairly high fuel consumption.
My dads IS250 Lexus does 9.7l
I like the Yaris. I saw one in metallic orange today. It looks good.

We need more fuel saving orientated cars like the Yaris and 107.

I get between 6 (long distance highway driving) and 9.3 (city). Not bad. Just over 630kms per tank for normal driving.

I used to get 9l/100km in my 2003 320i (2.2l 6 cyl not the crap 2.0l 4cyl engine they got now) on highways averaging about 140km/h and 13l-14l/100km if I drove with a heavy foot.

The onboard consumption indicators are a bit optimistic. In practice the consumption is higher.

How many cars have you got

2 civics and a jetta ?

My petrol report shows 8.0 average.

Probably 8L per 100Km = 12.5 per 1Km

Its a 14i citi golf.
Damn

I get 5.5l per 100km or 18.18 km per liter with my yaris, according to the car. I think it is more like 20km per liter.

@maxxis: you on the speed and sound forums?
