DC2R milage problems etc!! (i.e ASK tinks)

[freakygeek]

You don't count, you think your trip to work is a tarmac rally stage in your 121!

Your 121 probably returns 350km to a tank

I should stay out of this thread

I got 364km from the last tank in the 121

LOL! My signature says it all.

I always get around 360-400km's per tank with average driving (city), however that can easily become 300km's per tank with aggressive driving.

you say the gear oil was recently changed? could they have used overly thick oil (ie the wrong oil?)

[Time]

i appreciate all the help guys, thanks!!

looks like it's off to hanny's again this sat.

yeh i agree with that. specially around all the boulevards and what not. i don't think its even been less than 300 tho. Low mileage is all in acceleration. the lesser you accelerate hard then the greater km's you'll get. specially if you cop every set of lights to work or something, n your accelerating really hard off the line. I've been realizing lately when i speed around when i'm in a rush or late, i get caught at a set of lights n a car thats moving along slowly and relaxed like, is only a few cars behind me. Then i think dam, i used heaps more petrol than he would of, n he's pretty much just as quick lol

yeh but your journey to that light was much more exhilerating than his im sure.
anyway i rarely go past 4k rpms.
i get told many different stories about when to go into 5th gear. one person told me to stay in fourth while im cruising at 60 otherwise i'd be ruining my engine if i put it in 5th gear and my rpm's stay so low (they're above 2k so i thought that'd be ok) but yeh. another person told me it's fine to stay in 5th gear on 60kmph. so i dno?

yeh 5th at 60 is fine.. some people find it comfortable in fourth. having in 5th at lower speeds is not gonna ruin your engine, you'll use more petrol if your trying to accelerate in 5th at like 30 tho, thats just non sensical not dangerous. Our engine's aren't some fragile thing, they're honda's. 5th at 60 is fine, just dont go 1st at 60 lol, then theres engine damage haha.

u do have an issue, most of the dc2r's will get around the 300mark for a spirited drive....I can do 150km's up the Old putty road, and hit fuel warning light when i am back at near a servo around windsor...... daily driving should be around 380-450 depending on ur habits and traffic....

throw a cup of Kerosene into your tank on next fillup to help clean the injectors....
(i will sit back and wait for the abuse on that advice...lol)

[Vincikwan]

my dc2r goes abt 450km before the lights. but with spirited driving, its abt 400km.

[milkman]

I'm lucky to get beyond 370km from mine.

[c01567]

Did my first tank last week, got 410kms out of 36L pretty happy with it

[apx]

I consistantly get 460-480kms in city traffic

Are the tanks 45L?
