I have read a review of the AUDI A4 2.0 TDi and some users are claiming to have achieved 50mpg i.e 21km/l. Anyone who can confirm this? Top Gear actually claims 66mpg. Please give your Kenyan experiences of the same.



Are there no AUDI owners on Wazua jameni?

Good to know there are a good number of Mits funs out here. I own a pajero io 2002 (QoaH) model and though the consumption is not as good as the GDI type, I have never visited a mechanic apart from normal regular service and painting bamper for scratches. Its a 1.8lt engine and does about 8.5lts in town and 10.5 in highways. I however realised it doesn't like speeds more than 100km/hr otherwise you will be doing 8km/hr on highways. Apart from the consumption, I have never seen a car like that. I had a toyota EE100 previously and I could not rely on it. I even went ahead and changed the engine but that wasn't the end of troubles. I would not trade this for anything...not even a GDI

Waiting too for experiences with the Audi TDI. Audi petrol owners are easier to find

Found this useful information on habits that affect fuel consumption in any car, such as tyre pressure, A/C, among others...

... well, not exactly.

http://www.treehugger.co...ius-to-get-116-mpg.html



Better still, take lessons from this Kibe Kamunyu guy who drove a 2,000cc Alfa Romeo 156 from Westlands to Naivasha on only 1.75L of fuel... 48km/L!!!

He should start an Efficient Driving School...

that's possible especially if u use the Narok road...u can even switch off the car and just roll downhill.



Why would one use Narok road when going to Naivasha from Nairobi?

Or did you mean Mai-Mahiu road? If yes, then suggesting switching off engine on the escarpment drop (Mlima ya William) is asking people to commit suicide!

....and then from Mai-Mahiu to Naivasha is quite a up-hill stretch [all the way to Longonot].

So I suspect you would probably need more fuel than going the Kinungi hill route

Went for a trip sides za Uganda...did 450 Km's with around 35litres on a well maintained Mitsu Lancer.. thats roughly 13km/litre... pale Nakuru Salgaa and other areas with nicer roads, i hit 120km/h, average 80km/h.
From home to Nakuru the fuel gauge hadnt even moved... those Kapsabet potholes ndo zilimaliza Tank..

coming back i did 500km with 32litres of fuel.. thats 15km/litre.. same Lancer... guess its downhill


What size of engine? My 504 does this trip thrice a year - last check I was getting abt 15km per litre (1.8 litre engine - car loaded with two adults, three kids, luggage - tyres Goodyear 195*70*14). I don't drive fast - avg 80-90kph...


1500cc, but actualy 1465

That is true, 2,000/- (super petrol) now takes me to work (14.3km from my house to Westlands) from Monday to Saturday on my aged 1998 unroadworthy Toyota Caldina 1800cc, as opposed to 2,000/- for Monday to Thursday previously.

Thank God for THIKA SUPER HIGHWAY!
