canuckle head here are a couple of great conversion tables I have used for a long time. I really like them, they work great
Unit Conversions
Metric Fuel Consumption Calculators

 

+1...
appears that way to me as well.
Canuckle , do you mind sharing your raw data.... curiosity is getting the better of me.

 

Fair enough. As stated earlier I believe others in that Canada section thread are consistently referring to imperial gallons and not US measurements. You appear to have achieved something others have not come close to including Transport Canada.

My low fuel light comes on before greater than 59.0 liters. I rarely let it go that low but just today I filled with 60.2L at 485 kms. The light was on for approximately 48 km meaning the car had burned roughly 54 liters of fuel when the low fuel lamp initially came on. IIRC, that's normal for mine the half dozen times or so it's seen that level.

I suspect it's a rhetorical question but for the benefit of another Canuck more used to using US measurements Canadian gallons don't exist. I'm not a monarchist and was referring to the commonly known imperial measurement.

 

thx Gee. that's a good tool. i used it and saw 7.81L/100km, as my previous calcs indicated.

 

no prob. as i've mentioned for the road trip in question i traveled 755kms on 59L - ~95% hwy driving between Vancity & Banff. my most recent fill up, yesterday, was after 595kms with 65L - 90% city driving in Vancity.

i don't keep a fuel log so this raw data is all that i have available. however, those numbers are not atypical from what i normally see.

 

Just so that I'm clear....
You started with a full tank....
Then drove 755kms and THEN filled with 59liters?

 

You got it Ian and this was average 110-115 km/h with numerous wide open throttles, 2 people on board and loaded with camping gear. You can read this in the post below.
I sure envy Canuckle Head, I wish I could get mileage like that.

 

yes. IIRC the tank is 76L so with 17L left the gas light had not come on. i always top off 2-3 clicks as well, maybe an extra 1/2L or so...

like i said, the actual mpg was 30.1 NOT 31 (using US gallons).

 

I had a problem with the numbers in the first thread it was posted in and I've got problems with it again.

Sorry, canuckle, but I just can't believe that a G is getting those kind of numbers. On a wild chance that maybe a G could get 30.1 m/imp gallon, but I will never believe it with US gallon.

 

My car always gets over 30mpg on a straight highway run. However it hasn't been over 31.75 mpg.

 

Your car exceeds the optimist EPA highway ratings and also the EPA city rating of 24 mpg by 1.8 mpg, although you said you did about 10% highway in there. Even accounting for the highway part you're still around 1 mpg better than government laboratory testing.

What are you doing to achieve that kind of mileage? It's about 13%+ better than any other G I have heard of. My last tank was about 22 mpg and that was about 50% highway.

LOL.

I thought it might have been the K&N and the Z tube but then I remembered I have those too.

 

Maybe my calcs are wrong, but the data is here - you're welcome to massage it. As you can see, I rarely crack 400km/tank on city driving. The fills between July 26th and August 11th represent highway driving (Calgary to Vancouver Island then back, lightly loaded car, driver only combined with on-island driving). My city driving is not what I'd call "stop-n-go", mostly 60km/h + with little traffic. I'm not particularly heavy-footed either.

 

To me that looks pretty realistic for the X, and nice records.
I added up your figures from 2,321 kms (since the break-in is 2,000km so I wait till thats over) to 9,649 kms which consisted of 18 fill-ups. The majority of your driving was city or mixed.
This adds up to 224.458 L.
So mileage would be 12.47 L/100km or 22.65 Imp mpg which is pretty darn good for the X, considering more of the driving was city.
Also note your best mileage on highway was a fantastic 8.8 L/100km or 31.81 Imp mpg.
