GEN 4 MPG was created by stiffsteve204me

209 miles, on A and B roads, over the last three weeks.

Keeping up with traffic flow, at no time above 60mph.

More than happy with that, for an Auto.

Steve.

41.2 seems good to me. Something I've always wondered about fuel economy - what's the range of variation between cars? i.e. is there any luck involved in which car you get allocated, or is it all about driving style, driving conditions, fuel quality, tyres, load carried etc? I'm guessing Suzuki build tolerances would leave all gen 4 autos within 1% of each other, all other things being equal. And a loss of 1% might be offset by it a performance gain.

Old tech Jap autos are like that, me and my mate used to have Shoguns, his was an auto (and LWB) mine was a manual SWB. there was about 6-7mpg of difference between his and mine.

That's good, nice to see a good improvement.
Anyone checked to see if the ECU calculated MPG is accurate by recording miles per tank, brim the tank each time?
Only asking in light of the recent "scandals" in which manufacturers have been iffy with the software :laugh:

I have done this on my G3 since purchased (1.5 years) and I am happy to report an average over this period of 36.7 mpg. It's sort of a hobby of mine, need to get out more.
