F20 consumption is 8.0l/km and going up?
I know we had a previous discussion on fuel economics and before.
I don't know why my F20 consumption is 8.0l/km and going up? It was 6.8 - 7.2l/km and it started going up for some reason. Most of the time I drive on comfort mode. By comparing with previous people, it should be within the 6-7l/km range? I average 50 kms a day. Mostly suburban driving. So i'm wondering whether it's a problem...

Hmmm I didn't reset it. That's the thing. Maybe cause its winter and rain has been frequent here in Melbourne.

Outside temperature can make a big difference, especially below 3 degrees when you lose start stop aswell.

sounds a bit strange, consumption should be going down rather than going up, that's what mine does. I had a slightly higher consumption when brand new. I got the 120d though, maybe it's different with petrol.
winter-climate shouldn't make any big difference really?, winter in melbourne is around 0 to +10 degrees celsius? and right now it's probably warmer than that. one thing comes to my mind; petrol quality. What are you running on? If i remember correctly from my roadtrip in aus we went for the cheapest 91 octane or something(?). Could make a difference running on premium-petrol maybe |

Difference between +10 and -5 was as much as 5 MPGs is my old 120i.

The lowest we will ever get in winter is 6-9 degrees. Which was a big difference when it was 18 - 23 degrees a month ago.

Not sure if temperature is the problem... Cape Town has a very similar climate to Melbourne.
I'm finding that there's a much more pronounced difference in consumption between different driving scenarios with my 118i than there was with my previous car (a 2009 Renault Megane). On the open road, I get really really good figures, around 6.0l/100km, much lower that I got with the Renault. Driving around town however (in the suburbs, to shops, out to clients during the middle of the day, probably average of 5km trips, no peak crawl traffic though) I've seen in the middle 8 litres so far. If I punch it a bit in Sport from time to time, the average goes up to almost 9. That's a difference of 3 litres. With my Renault, it always hovered between 7 and 8 regardless of how I drove. I reckon it's all down to driving style, to be honest. The 118i is very easy to drive very economically if you really want to, because it's got so much low-down torque that you can upshift quickly and keep revs low; but it's also very easy to gather momentum (and burn through fuel) quickly if you don't pay attention. |

I reckon it's because I do fulfill driving criteria where like u say "in the suburbs, to shops, out to clients during the middle of the day, probably average of 5km trips, no peak crawl traffic" just that my average is more of 20-50kms a day. About being economic. You mean = ECO PRO? I don't really step on the accelerator like crazy. I only rev up to 2-3 at most. I guess because I rarely do open road driving... It's more of street + suburb driving.

Hey Bro.
118 sport line. The standard Australia package plus dakota leather, high gloss shadow line, etc. Nothing that would affect fuel consumption
