Your L/100 Km

[McXtravert]

So based on a few sources of RW driving, it looks like:
- Ecoboost ~7-11 l/100km
- V8 - 12-20 (20 - lol)

I was expecting the EB to be a bit better tbh!

Well we are kinda just breaking in the cars. After 5-10 we can make a consumption. Plus I ain't bought a prius, I want mine at 6k rpm all the time ))

Decided to drive easy today, 35 kms 50/50 Autobahn (not exceeding 130kph) and Frankfurt city traffic (at lunchtime so not bad) 7.5 l/100 kms.

I am Impressed by this car

I can't get that low l\100 km even with car off
Really, I drive without even touching the gas pedal.. no acceleration, no rush, nothing.. and nothing better than 11 km\l, sometimes 10,5 too.

Maybe your engine isn't broken in properly yet?

Edit: 10.5 to 11 km/l is better than what I have seen sofar. (= 9 to 9.5 l/100km)

Thanks for all the responses everyone!

It looks like the European market is full of Ecoboosts, something I'm not surprised at considering fuel prices and new vehicle price as well.

I think I'm still going for the V8 just because I'm counting on this car being my first and last "big boy toy" in a sense. Tesla should have it's affordable car out by the time the car is paid for so then I'll be more "economical" by the time the Model 3 is out hehe.

That savings between the V8 and EB doh! :frusty:

Maybe it's the Cobb tune? Stock I noticed it was really rich all the time, like 13 to 1 air/fuel cruising and like 10.5-11 at full throttle. With the Cobb stage 1 93 tune it is 14-14.3 cruising and 11.5 - 12 on full throttle. Also I noticed the economy got slightly better with my MAP intercooler :shrug: I wouldn't have thought it but it does.

Finally I have 3.31 gears, I think all the Euro specs are 3.55 ?

Yeah could be the tune.
We will see when someone will release something for EU model.

Actually, the GT has outsold the EB in Europe....but some countries have silly taxes, like Holland, Belgium, iItaly and Norway to name few, where the GT would be a killer tax wise.

My EB manual fastback has 3.31 gears as well. Perhaps the fact that I am running on EURO95 at the moment makes a difference too. Perhaps I should fill her up with EURO98 and see if it makes a difference.

You forgot us......despite the normal selling price 50,000 eur, it needs over 5000eur for taxes anually!

To convert l/100 km to us mpg you just devide 236 by the number so 10 l/100 km is ~ 23.6 mpg. Be its have bigger gallons so that number becomes 282 so 10 l/100km = 28.2 mpg (imp) simples:cheers:

Canadian GT Performance Package city only ~18l/100km, highway (at ~120km/h) 9.2l/100km is the best I have ever got....
