Fuel Milage (or is that Kilometerage?)

FricFrac · 05-31-2009, 12:55 AM

I've only burned a tank and a half driving sorta tamely. I think the best I've seen is 15.8 l/100 km. Just curious what everyone else here in Canada is getting. This l/100 km is kinda weird to me even though I grew up with metric....

AK370Z · 05-31-2009, 03:07 AM

I thought you could change the setting the left side control panel?

AB370Z · 05-31-2009, 08:58 AM

Driving on the highway at about 115km/h, I got about 9.5L/100 km. I'm the same too however...I have grown up my entire life with the metric system but have no idea what a good L/100 km is...

I haven't seen a way to change from metric to miles but will keep looking if AK believes it is there.

Nissan Canada states that the 6MT gets 11.6L/100k city and 7.7L/100k Highway. Now in mpg that is 20 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Thats pretty good because a Honda Accord coupe gets 21 mpg city and 34 highway.

Wow... not even close. I'd say with a tail wind but since the rear end is so areodynamic I doubt that would help... maybe downhill.... I suppose I should wait until I'm past the break in to even bother checking such things...

There is an option in the settings to switch to/from metric... but you can't do it while driving....

I think after the break in period it will improve.

If I may correct NXTAZEE, the rating in Canada for gas milage is 36 mpg = 7.7 l/100km for highway. I think you may have used 3.8l for a US gal in your conversion calculation vice 4.5l for an imp gal used in Canada.

On a long road trip yesterday I was getting consistent 8.2l/100km at 109kph with cruise control engaged. This would be 33mpg. On my first and only two fill ups I averaged 27mpg combined city/highway. The range function would indicate that I could travel 780km before my next fill up if it was all highway driving at 109kph over similar terrain.

15 L for 100 Km is pretty bad...that's like what 18 to 22 MPG......

EDIT: it's even worse 14.868894116166185 MPG ( U.S Gal)

NXTAZEE · 06-01-2009, 11:15 AM

Yes I used US gallons, as this is usually the one people use when relating to mpg.

FricFrac · 06-01-2009, 03:47 PM

Just realized it's my average milage since I got the car. I'll try the reset button tonight. Amazing what reading the manual will tell you. I don't usually refer to the manual unless there is a handful of bolts left over......

IDZRVIT when I was out in Halifax two months ago we drove out to Amherst - I saw seven radar traps on the way there - it was crazy. I guess you have to be careful where you open 'er up out there

nogoodname · 06-01-2009, 03:56 PM

just after break in period, it's good to reset it......

The Mounties don't have much to do so they play with their radars, LOL. On a trip out to the valley and back yesterday, 400km return, I didn't even see a mountie! I opened up the Z to 180kph a couple of times. Awesome!

nogoodname · 06-01-2009, 04:30 PM

ok, i passed a cop on the highway.....he was parked in between the median openings.

i looked at him and the radar was on the dashboard and he was sleeping lol

Maybe in your neck of the woods but I'll stick to imperial gallons being a Canadian. Each to his own I guess.
