Impressive consumption figures you guys are getting. Seems the X DCT is better that the Integra, must be affected by things like weight, wind resistance etc. I have to admit, humbly, that I just push too hard, so I'm averaging between 20-21 km/l. In the morning I head out at 6 and the traffic is usually very light then, it's 1.5km to the freeway, then 28 km's freeway and 2.5km back road to work. Once on the freeway, the scoot is more or less constantly between 150-175km/h (except past the 2 cameras). I had better start behaving myself but this bike just goes so well and handles sweetly.
hi Bryan .My integra's avg consumption was 24 km per lt. When i checked my tyres I found both to be 1,5 bar so I made them 2.6 in front and 2.8 at the back. It changed the consumption drastically. Im sure I will average 27. The 33.85 was around town in Quiet traffic So i was on the move all the time going between 60 and 80. The Tyres also made a world of diffs on my handling. Dont know why I didnt check the pressure when i got the bike.....I usually do
I tend to still think in PSI and the tyre pump on my comressor also has a PSI/Bar/KPA gauge. These old guys they just can't change. Anyway I keep the scoot at 36F and 42B that's PSI cold. Maybe it's the fish and chips I enjoy that's using so much fuel.
This may be a stupid question, but should I be filling up with 95 or 93 octane here in Gauteng? Will it make any noticeable difference to both performance and consumption?
Here by the cost we only have 95.....I remember before the days of unleaded in SA .....our octane at the cost use to be a bit higher than on the reef......this is for obvious reasons that the fuel burns better at the cost as the oxygen content is denser.........you might have to find out from Honda what they recommend.......I would go for 95
Could anybody give us some info on the dct transmission fuel consumption....
I've been keeping log of the consumption of my DCT from day one. so here are the basic figures (note: I do ride the bike harder than most on the forum and never ride it with economy on my mind).
best: 27.56 km / l average: 23.37 km / l worst: 20.94 km / l (I was riding at least 100km at 160-180 kmph)
