HP_Lee 5th Gear July 14, 2012 Share July 14, 2012 I am a new C180 user recently. The second pump was like this: SPC Bill stated : 52.331 Litre (Full Tank) 480km (Last clock) FC = 9.17Km/L FC is a little high, is that normal ? Though my Cruze is heavier than C180, but it clocked 11.6 - 12.5kM/L average. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HP_Lee 5th Gear July 14, 2012 Author Share July 14, 2012 Too high for a 1.6L car.! This is what I think so. Maybe got to run in a little more, a montn or so.. I have been using the same route as I drove my Cruze and C180 to cross check the FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using the same route as I drove my Cruze and C180 to cross check the FC. Your car is new and it is turbocharged. Surely the consumption will be higher than a NA 1.6 litre. Otherwise how does it produce more torque/power than your Cruze? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar Turbocharged July 14, 2012 Share July 14, 2012 (edited) i am doing over 600km a full tank if i drive damn ah peh, i can get 700km. i also noticed cruising around 80kmh is getting me the best mileage. the key is to cruise lightly whenever possible. u won't get good fc with heavy foot and stop/start traffic.

I have been using the same route as I drove my Cruze and C180 to cross check the FC. Fuel consumption depends on so many factors. Why think so much? Just enjoy your new car. Since you chose a conti, my advice is not to even bother monitoring the consumption la .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyklon 5th Gear July 15, 2012 Share July 15, 2012 FC is a little high, is that normal ? Though my Cruze is heavier than C180, but it clocked 11.6 - 12.5kM/L average. A cruze cannot be heavier than a c-class...unless you had a big engine in the cruze. Must compare the same type of weight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
