Mazda fuel Consumption Database

[mikes]

Bought my Mazda 3 2018 1.5 last January 2018. So far I've put about 1200km.

So far, here's my recorded stats over 4 top-ups:

(237.7 + 332.3 + 205.1 + 251.0) = 1026 km
(29.01 + 31.68 + 30.38 + 30.02) = 121.09 L

That's an average of 8.47 km/L. Mostly city driving with moderate traffic in Cebu.

Should I be concerned? Or is this the right fuel consumption?

Well...just about right, matipid pa nga yan..

I see. Could this still get better after break-in?

I guess I'll give it a couple of months to settle in and will report back. Using Shell FuelSave. What gas do you guys use? :D

What's your average speed? At very slow moving traffic on a daily basis (10kph or below), your M3's fc is good enough. My 2018 M3 2.0L fc is between 7 to 8 km/Li, ave speed 13kph with total distance of 3000km.

There's no break-in period anymore for most new cars like the M3 although I did notice that the FC got a bit better after driving it for 1000km. Perhaps can be attributed to my improved driving style eg smooth acceleration, less overtaking, etc.

i believe that FC slight increase, is an effect of braking in.
heh heh.

I got a horrendous fuel consumption last Sunday, 9.4 km/L. This is the first time I've had this kind of consumption. I was driving a bit aggressively on our way to Subic. The fun run of Touge Battle made me "blind" with such kind of fuel consumption.

If only I got up early... I usually get an average of 17-18 km/L. 20.4 km/L is my latest for a 140 km stretch. I think I can make it above 20 if I were to drive "strictly" at 83 kph, exclusive to highways.

Using crush control mode might help improve your M6's fc. Yeah it's going to be boring, no zoom zoom fun [emoji14]

How about you join us next time?

What is this "crush control mode"?

Different driver with different fc. Style of driving will surely affect your fc[emoji1]

I'll check the average speed later. Yeah, maybe instead of break-in, it's probably the driver making adjustments and that improves the FC. =)

9.4km/liter in NLEX?

No. That includes my route from Bulacan - NLEX - SCTEX - Subic, plus the run with Touge Battle including most of idle time. The only time the engine was off was when we took our lunch and a three hour waiting time.

When I got home driving in a normal fashion, it increased to 10.1 km/L.

Hello [emoji4]

I can't tell if you should be concerned; but for comparison purposes, my "lifetime" FC with my M3 is 12.86 km/L at an average speed of 20 km/h (22% expressway).

It would be great to take note of your average speed, as Mr. J (jojopad) asked.

[Altuy]

Vehicle: Mazda 3 1.5 V Hatchback
Fuel: Shell FuelSave Gasoline

- - -

Distance: 375.7 kilometers
Volume (first click, full tank): 35.152 liters

Result: 10.69 km/L
MID Result: 10.99 km/L

Average Speed: 15 km/h
% Expressway: 0 kilometers (0%)

[Altuy]

My "lifetime" FC stats [emoji4]



*mikes
My slowest speed is 13 km/h, which I already consider equivalent to stressful traffic. The return is 9.5 km/L (full tank method of computation); whereas the MID result is at 9.71 km/L (10.3 L of fuel over a 100-km stretch).

The average speed that's showing on the odometer is 11km/h. Haha. I don't really cover great distances.

Do you have an app for this?

[jojopad]

With 8.47 km/L FC, that's pretty ok. If we do the math by computing the equivalent FC based on Altuy's:

(10.99 km/Li / 15 kph) * 11 kph = 8 km/Li

Looks like you're FC is even better than Altuy's, at least based on your average kph [emoji106]

[Altuy]

Do you have an app for this?

It's just an Excel file since I compute for my FC manually [emoji4]

I agree with Mr. J. Your FC is better than mine if we're talking about an average speed of 11 km/h [emoji106]

But that also makes me wonder what your odometer was when you got your unit; and if you reset everything on your multi-info display at the time your unit was turned over to you.

Mine has already ran 26 km when I got in my M3. I reset all the stats on the multi-info display, including the average speed. If I'm not mistaken it was at 9 km/h. The fuel gauge? The last bar was blinking already!

Interesting calculation. Didn't think about average speed like that. Thanks! Will continue to monitor for changes as I approach 2000km.
