Granted that my commute is ~80% urban start-stop peak hour traffic most week days. But I am beginning to wonder if I would have been better off, fuel consumption wise, with a 1.6NA ride? 🤔 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only hybrids will have better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yours should be around the 13km/l range. Otherwise not much better than a 2l NA car 😁 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, it is never going to be as good as advertised. For the same amount of power, the engine will need the amount of fuel to produce an output. No way downsizing can give you more power for less fuel. Everytime the car drives off, more fuel are injected as moving a vehicle off a stop is kind of a heavy load condition. I am seeing more car manufacturers are moving to mild hybrid setup such as Mazda 3, and the upcoming Golf 2020. Mild hybrid allows less fuel for the ICE to move the car with motor assist and I reckon to agree with that setup too.

Per tank can vary alot, depending on where I go. The system logs the long term average since day 1, over >7000km todate, FC is 12km/l.

Company i worked for has a few unit. In fact, Kia K2500 has more power than cabstar and drinks the same amount. Somehow, lorry engine is not tuned for fuel efficiency. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
