[DMCForum] RE: 30 MPG DeLorean? (Revisited)

["Elvis Nocita" <elvisnocita@xxxxxx>]

Jordan, 27.7 mpg would be 44.6km with 3.8L which would be way below
10L/100km.

27.7mpg are 8.5L/100km and this is what my car needed on our trip to
italy and back, most of the time without A/C and no automatic.

Your consumption was about 15-20% higher - see your 10.2L average = 23.14mpg
- still a good value compared to what others tell me all the time.

1 mile = 1.61 km
1 Gal = 3.8 L

P.S: as long as you count the complete number of gallons or liters
and know the exact starting point on your odometer it shouln't
be interesting which pump you use or when it shuts off. But
you have to keep the exact figures and not some kind of average
all the time. The amount of gas they sell you should be very precise
with less than 1% failure - this means it doesn't really matter where
you buy it.



I have to agree,

without AC at around 140 kph, i get 10.2 liters/100km.
A test was conducted on 10 tanks of gas highway
driving to get this number as the average of all.

this equals 27.69420944431372 MPG or 27.7 for short. I
used the same pump at the same station, temp varing
slightly.

I should point out that the gas empty light flickers
around the same odo number, implying that the pump
basically gives the same ammount of gas before it cuts
off.

AC of course yields worse results.
