@ sav, Whered u get this graph from?

sav · 02-01-2013, 05:58 AM

I'm using an app called Road trip to track fuel cons and expenses.

Ryan86 · 02-01-2013, 06:15 AM

I'm confused.... Toyota made the 86 for super fuel efficiency? Or kick ass fun driving....
Has the car been entered into Car of the year or economy run.......

I can see you all driving like Miss Daisy...... LOL

sav · 02-01-2013, 06:19 AM

Haha exactly.

Fuel economy should be of no concern to an 86 driver.

Vladror · 02-01-2013, 06:46 AM

i just drove 7.8 kms from a petrol station (did a reset) to the office, via dewaal drive (hills) and according to the reading, my avg consumption is sitting at 6.3 but i drove like an 86 year old (and felt like one) and on such a short distance the estimate is probably way off
i reckon the way i've been measuring economy is all wrong, the car only needs 7.5 avg, but i need 2 litres for entertainment.
I think i get more enjoyment from those 2 litres than i would get from an equivalent amount of beer so i'm ok with that

Vic_RSA · 02-01-2013, 07:04 AM

I just want to know whether or not to fill up at Van Reenen's on a trip to Durbs!

Now that I have ended my economy run let's just say that the numbers are rising...

sav · 02-01-2013, 07:17 AM

I must say, they could have added distance to empty and average speed at least.

I'd be surprised if the car couldn't make it to Durban on a single tank.

And therewith my worry... Even the most basic Corolla has that!

And why I'm paranoid with fuel economy, I once did Margate on 49 litres with no slow driving - not with the 86 of course...

Calculated 14.3km/l...

Vladror · 02-01-2013, 07:35 AM

it appears you might want to start your economy runs again next Wednesday, petrol price going up by 41 cents...

Not bad - check Deef's fuel cons on his recent trip. 14km/l iirc which should be good enough to get you to Durban on a single tank. Either way, just fill up at Harrismith and you're sorted.

Ryan86 · 02-01-2013, 07:49 AM

You will easy make Durban on a tank.
Take the N3 there are petrol stations on the way to fill up, stop off for a drink, stretch the legs. :happy0180:

Sorry Vic had too.......

LOL, if the weather is rainy it normally ends up being toilet stops!

Adding to which on long trips I guzzle 440ml PowerPlays to stay sharp!

My recent economy run yielded 13.2km/l. So considering it is downhill to Durban 566km it would take approx. 43l on a light foot to get there...

sav · 02-01-2013, 08:04 AM

Yep, also remember that the 86's fuel light is VERY pessimistic. I think there is about 11l left in the tank when it lights up.

Vic_RSA · 02-01-2013, 08:14 AM

Also true! I normally fill up before it even lights up... Hate warning lights...
