I have a 2008 Picanto Motion, 1.1l benzin.

After the first 1342 km, I am now at 13.86 km/l total.
The latest tank, with 75% of motorway at 110-135 km/h gave me 14.59 km/l = 6.86 l/100 km.

Every tank has improves mileage.

So the fuel consumption is much better now than when it was new. The next tank will be interesting.

Hi everyone. Latest figures from me:- Covered 524.48 Km and consumed 32.3litres. That works out at 16.2 Km per Ltr. (45.9mpg). Seems to be stabalising around this figure during the winter months under my style of driving. Still haven't done 5000miles yet (8000Km).
I have a 2007 1.1 LS Manual.

New set of stats regarding fuel consumption. I drive an LS 1.1 manual. Have now covered 4600miles from new:- 336.1 miles (540.9 Km) consumed 6.797 gals (30.9 litres). That works out at 49.4 mpg (17.5 km/L). Mostly driving to/from work at 0-5 degrees C. but also included a 150km drive on A roads doing about 90-100kph (55-60mph).
Not bad eh? Anyone else with some figures?
Flingo.

here's my figures. 394 kilometers traveled and consumed approximately 30Liters of Caltex Gold Techron 95 RON. I usually get stuck between 330-390 kilometers in a 30 Liter tank of fuel. I suspect due to our climate here in the Philippines where it varies between 29 - 33 degrees C. Driving style also varies due to mild and moderate traffic condition plus engine idle. I also have a heavy foot where I usually rev it beyond 2t to get enough momentum in slopes, in the highway, or overtaking slow pokes. I also have a open type cone air filter element which is exposed under the bonnet. I cant place it near the air dam cuz it frequently rains in our place, water might be sucked in.

Hi everyone. Thanks for your stats to date. Interesting. Here are my latest:- 309 miles consumed 32 litres. that's 43.9 mpg or 15.5 km/L. One of you noted that the fuel tank can be 'funny' in what it accepts as full up! You're right. I try to fill up at the same garage with the car slightly tilting away from me as I fill it up. It seems to take more in that position. Don't want to be an anorak about it but its true!
