What is your fuel consumption KM per liter?

[toofast]

I was just cruising on highway guess what? I was shocked to see my V8's consumption. It was 44.5 miles per gallon at 73 miles per hour speed which is around 18.61 km/liter at 120 km/hour. I have never acheived such a consumption on V8. It stayed at this average for couple of minutes then went back to normal which is around 30-37 miles/gallon at 70-75 miles/per hour speed. I thought that i should brag about it

Great figure for a
"mighty V8"
...!

In city, my Bimmer do around 15-20mpg :S & highway she got great mph figure, 30+mpg ...!

Can you believe, I did around
"150 miles"
(highway) in around
"4"
gallons on my M3 ...!

wow. Thats one great mpg. Your car almost turned into a hybrid.

LoL @ARS
I think some thing to do with its light weight and big motor?

[ateekt]

This is something, which also
"helps you alot"
to get good consumption :

A word of caution - those calculations are known to be horribly unreliable. These high readings could be a sign of something wrong with your car aswell and I think it just might be. To get 45mpg is unheard of. When your gas tank gets low, you'll be reading pathetically low mpg. Its a flawed calculation.

The problems are either one of the two:

Firstly, the car cannot exactly measure the amount of gasoline in the tank. it uses a (very imprecise) float-type apparatus to measure the amount of gasoline in the tank (and how much is used).

Secondly, the MPG measurement is based on the estimated amount of gas used (taken from that imprecise float-gauge in the gas tank), the rpm's of the transmission, what gear you are in, etc.

agree with annopak ...

I think realistic MPG on highway is around 30-35mpg. That was just a magic moment which made my day:). I will keep eye on it till next refill and will post the numbers. I think corvette has better gas milage than my Acura.

[anonpak]

^ if thats the case i think you've found the greatest economy car lol.

do your own calculations. they'll give you a more accurate number....do keep us updated.

This this car is not BAD for V8. I used to get 17 MPG on my V8 4x4 Tundra.

I had a
"monster gas guzzler"
, V8 Grand Cherokee...! Worst thing (at gas consumption) I ever had but on highway, I was used to get 3 times of what I was getting in city ...!

American
"big blocks"
are really good on highway...!

i agree with anonpak...it is impossible for a regular gasoline V8 motor to give you that mileage.

these meters are very very unreliable....in my murano's case...the meter never moves beyond the limit of 17-18 MPG..haha....however in reality...it gives me more than that. the best option is to do your own calculation as stated above.

I hate this technology. Worthless
