Actual FC of 2015 C180

[asiadj]

Yea but the way I drive the C180 isn't how most people drive it so to each his own lah. I prefer to drive in a comfortable and relaxed mode, cruising at 80km/h 

 

u didn't do it at lane 1, 80km/hr hor??   

[tyco_kia]

u didn't do it at lane 1, 80km/hr hor??   

 

LOL no la I don't road hog. I'm anti road-hoggers, I only drive like that on lane 2 or lane 3 rest assured. =)

[Angchug]

[tyco_kia]

LOL you don't believe my FC ah? Next time sit in my car I show you how I drive you will know liao. 

[J&E]

That's almost 800km for a 60L?

[tyco_kia]

I pump till about 68 or 69L and travel between 950 to 1010km

believe la. make fun only..

 

u mention u pump till 68-69L...

 

ermm tank only 66L right?

[kepiting1sg]

hmm...i think my FC here is the best. I usually measure after every tank I pump, my best was 15km/l and worst was 12.88km/l. A typical full tank (I squeeze until max) can get me between 950km to 1010km. 

 

I choose my routes carefully and try to travel expressways with light traffic as best as I can. I don't rev a lot and I do use the paddle shifters to switch gear so that I don't rev too much. 

 

 

It all boils down to your driving style!

Wanna have good FC!

Drive as if your car as no brakes!

Each time you brake, you decelerate you slow down.

You step on the gas pedal to bring it up to speed again!

 

Best I can do is 4.9L/100km on my previous FLW204 in KPE

 

NPNT

 

 

 

 

>15km/L is achievable if you really try.

 

A typical reading but mostly on highways and some stops.

This readout below include traffic jam on the Woodlands causeway and helped by the Eco Start Stop.

I work in JB and drives about 80km per day.

This is about a 3 day journey - 5 hrs of driving/traffic jam over 228km

haha no worries bro... i know you're just kidding too ^^

 

yes 66L is the documented capacity but i usually squeeze till the max at the petrol station right to the brim. 

[asiadj]

so let's say i assumed 70L in tank?

[tyco_kia]

so let's say i assumed 70L in tank?

 

it's possible, though I haven't pumped 70L at one go before even though I drive the car till the light is blinking.

Sincethis topic is on Fuel Mileage for C180. Would like to check that our C180 (W205) needs Grade 98 Petrol? My SE advised me to pump 98. Is this true?

oh blinking? cool. if i'm nt wrong when it blinks it means u left less than 5litre in tank

its an advise... on the fuel door, it states min 95. so 95 is a possible, just treat it as a normal car which u previously own. no diff.

Wow

[Ivo]

I pump till about 68 or 69L and travel between 950 to 1010km

My first tank yields ~10km/L Doesnt sound fantastic at all for a 1.6L car with 70% highway driving.

I am going to monitor more to be fair..

BIG suggestion: S$190k car, don't worry about fuel consumption

[AsteroidS]

i agree with omgamg... u paid so much for a car... why bother about the fc

 

and why pump95? shud pump 98/vpower... the best or nothing. yay or nay?

[Omgamg]

i tried 98 (Esso) on W205 before... no difference except maybe the petrol last slightly longer than 95. went back to 95

totally agreed

The price is paid up for both engineering and technology marvel of the product.. Especially when Mercedes claimed they had shedded weight of the w205 to improve both handling and efficiency of this car.

and why pump95? shud pump 98/vpower... the best or nothing. yay or nay?

I was on 98 all the way for my previous ride advised by the manufacturer because it is a turbo charged FSI engine. However, my sales person confirmed 95 is sufficient for the w205 even though it is turbocharged..

Btw I have taken 3 more readings and the average consumption is 12.6km per litre. Not too bad as the engine seemed to have run in.

[Odessus]

Try Caltex 98. It makes a difference to my car.

[Ah Bui]

actually... 95 will give you better mileage than 98.... then again... why worry about FC??? not like you are going to spend another tank a month extra.... 

[Omgamg]

wanna measure FC, better buy Korean car better. Upfront save $100k can buy all the petrol you need for your car's (10 years) lifetime

[J&E]

I guess it might affect a bit for those with high mileage. If u just pump 1 or 2 tank a month, then it doesn't really affect. However, there are people who pump at least every once a wk or more, then it's a different thingy. Just a thought.
