So we know what these cars are rated at from the factory, however what kind of gas mileage have you been getting in the real world?

 

[Norrie]

I'm sitting on 10.2 litres per 100km.

 

[Norrie]

On 9.7L/100km at the moment but that's after a freeway drive. I'm guessing it will settle around 9.9–10.

 

[Jazza]

Depending on whether it is freeway/city driving

Freeway cruising I reckon around the 7.7-8L/100km

City can vary from 10-13L/100km (bit more of a lead foot hehe)

On average yeah I agree it is about 9.9-10L/100km

 

[Redturbo]

City i usually get 26.5-28mpg, a couple times i got right at 30mpg.
High way i've otten 32-34mpg.
and combined i'm sitting around 27mpg

i have 1,300 miles on my car as of now.

 

[Norrie]

1000kms on mine now and 9.7L/100km or 24.25mpg.

You know, I've no idea if those figures are good or not. I will put some figures up once I've got the car and see how I compare. Usually I just have a look at the trip and make a mental note of how many KM's I get for a full tank or half tank.

 

[Mycool]

Thanks fellas...good information.

 

[Norrie]

The dash display makes it easy for you and tells you exactly what you're getting. I think Kia rates it at 8L but it's 9.7 for me which is still great compared to 16 in my old Jeep.

I'm getting about 26 mpg combined city and highway driving. I keep my koup in eco mode about 80% of the time if that matters, I also live in the Midwest so the terrain is very flat.

 

[krobreed]

Ive had my forte5 sx for a month now, at first my consumption was around 13l/100 Iwas getting about 350km a tank. I was breaking the engine in tho so I was always on and off the throttle, keeping revs between 2-5rpm. Now that I'm driving it normally I'm getting about 10l/100, which I'm happy with I do more city than highway driving.

 

[stirider]

I'm sitting between 8L and 9L/100km ....Definaly not the 6.8L/100 that kia pretends we'll do.

 

[Norrie]

You doing a bit of highway driving? Mine was around 9 with a trip or two down to Sydney but now I'm more like 10.1 just running around "town".

Yep 70% highway 30% town...but recently i've been doing 70% town 30% highway and my L/100 looks like yours now...

 

[krobreed]

Just wondering if anyone has experimented with eco mode, and what the results were. Ive heard it dosnt make much difference in fuel economy but just wanted to see.

 

[ragg]

I'm at 30MPG combined city/highway on 30 miles round trip to work. 1k miles on her. Manual.

 

[Dmo1]

Im usually at 31mpg on a normal tank to work and back. I was able to achieve this driving on vacation though.

 

[maxpower85]

I've just done a 500 km roadtrip and i'm quite happy about the fuel mileage.

Highway (80km) @ 110km/h = 6.9L/100km or 34MPG
Mountain road (350km) @ 105km/h = 7.3L/100km or 32MPG
City with hard acceleration = 9.7/100km or 24MPG

I have only 1500 km done with the car, so those numbers should be better and better..

 

[Ish]

8532 kms on the clock and averaging around 10 l / 100km - everyone says the consumption should get better after 10 000 kms - will let you guys know.

 

[precrack]

Has anyone tried experimenting with different fuel types or additives? I usually use regular however once I tried the higher octane and did not notice anything different.
