Depending on what route you are on Km/L wont make sense maybe Hrs/L....from rongai to langata in 3hrs jam i use 10L


Applause Applause Applause Applause Ouch!!

Foz00, you took this right out of my mind. With the kind of traffic that has been on Nairobi this week, the measure should surely be hours/litre. I fuelled 3000 bob at Kshs. 106 i.e 28 litres on Sunday. 145 km later today my fuel gauge is just about to read 'E'nough. Thats about 5km/ litres.

On the other hand if I consider that I spent about 16.5 hours to cover that distance then I would be saying 1.7hours/litre.

The tragedy of the driving class! No wonder my mum says we young people are the cross of a crazy generation and a mad one.

@Benzino....pretty much the same as what I had heard.Thanks for confirming.

Anyone with details on the RunX/Allex?
20Km/Ltr (highway) & 14Km/Ltr (town) sounds too high.


with a Runx i do 42km daily, monday to friday and i use 3k on fuel for 2 weeks...but am on the road when there are few cars so i never wait in traffic...its roughly 14km/L (it's parked on weekends)


Make a more accurate measurement; fill up the car, run(x) it for two weeks and fill again. Now check the km done and the litres consumed.


i put 18 litres (2k when the price was 108) when it emptied and waited for it to empty. in total i did 279kms...thats approximately 15.5km/L. Again, i was on the road with few cars

How many litres were in the tank before you put the 18L?

Don't fear; the only way you can get correct consumption figures is to start with a full tank, then drive around normally and then fill it up again. The second fill-up if the consumption for your drive-around

I actually waited for it to empty (and went for 2 kms on E) then put 18 litres and went for an additional 2kms on E. thats how i got my 279km on 18 litres...

McReggae, economy yes. But even if you were able to fill up say to 50kgs, why carry excess weight around when personal rounds are predictable. Why not just drink 20 litres every Monday morning enough for the week?

You will never be able to precisely determine the car's consumption even if you use full tank and top up after drive. There are a couple of coefficients to consider. Even manufacturer rates are at best controlled estimations.

In some modern cars, the fuel consumption is measured at the point of injection and not from the tank. This gives you the exact amount of fuel consumed per distance covered.
