Consumption - Toyota Altezza, 2.0 liter, 2001

I decided to measure the consumption of gasoline. It turned out 13.3 liters per 100 km.
This is how I did it. I drove the car until the light came on. Then poured 40 liters. The mileage at that time was 156769.
I left until the new light came on, the mileage was 157071.
It turns out that 40 liters was enough for 302 km.
Alteza's tank is 60 liters, why after a consumption of 40 the light starts to light up. Is NZ equal to 20 liters. Kinda weird in my opinion.

Mileage: 157�071 km

And I have 20 on my for-runner, and a friend on a camritos with almost the same engine as mine also has about 20 liters left ... Well, I didn’t say, but I made an assumption :)

Approximately 20 liters of N.C. is.
In general, cars with sufficiently powerful engines, the manufacturers themselves do not recommend operating if there is less than a quarter in the tank)

you don’t know not to whistle)
~ 10 remains in the tank when the lamp lights up. . .

You need to figure out what is meant by nz))) My arrow lights up when a little less than a quarter of a tank and I know for sure that I will calmly drive 100-150 km.
If NC is a light bulb, then it may well be))) It generally lights up early.

But about the operation of powerful cars with less than a quarter of gasoline, you can in more detail))) I wonder where it is written and why a two-liter Alteza is a powerful enough car;)

I meant light bulb. My arrows don't light up.

Are you talking about 116 or 124 bodies? If so, then quite a long time ago.

It's just, again, IMHO, 160 is not that much power enough to make a quarter tank nz (if we return to the original topic).

Byrui23 11.02.22

Well, not so long ago, a Mercedes shot from three liters of 193, the usual power at one time, for such a volume of atmospheric engines, but nevertheless you can’t call it weak.

But that’s not the point, I don’t want to tie power and volume, it’s enough that it’s not 1.5 liters, not 75 mares =)

160 hp themselves it's not 101 and even more so 75 =)

BOTiKi 11.02.22

Well, to be honest, 160 from two liters is quite a normal power IMHO. ;)

About not starting - this happened to me too, though when the car was standing sideways.

Byrui23 11.02.22

And what about 160 horses with two liters, is not powerful enough?

And about a quarter of a tank, I probably didn’t put it quite accurately.
It’s not that they don’t recommend it, but something like it’s not very good. (I don’t remember verbatim, I read it a long time ago, in some German book on cars)

And by the way, if the BMW-E34 525i is less than a quarter, then there is a risk of not starting when the car is at a slight slope, I personally suffered from this. problems :)

In my Toyota with a three-liter engine, the light just lights up when there are 20 liters left in the tank.

Thanks I'll know. And then I thought it was a sinful thing, maybe I have some kind of wrong tank :)

I'll have to try and measure the flow.
In the summer I got 10.5 liters. But I did it in the way described in the post. Now it takes 15 minutes to warm up.

Thanks for such a detailed explanation! But I won't do that :) There is a risk of dousing with gasoline.
Also, what to say to the cashier at the gas station? "Turn on the faucet, shall I say stop?" :)

The next speaker was right! No problems on my previous accord www.drive2.ru/cars/honda/…/accord_coupe_2008/snorm/ did this for two years :-)

Boots, thanks :)

You tell the cashier a full tank and, depending on the gas station, you give money more than a full tank (then you take the rest) or you fill up and pay.

Quite a decent expense!
And for a more accurate calculation, you need to do the following:
you fill a full tank of gasoline, and a full tank is not until the fuel nozzle is fired, namely, until the visual detection of gasoline in the tank neck (although you need to do this carefully). Accordingly, you remember the mileage of the car.
Then you drive any number of KMs, but for greater accuracy and less error, the more the better.
After that, you fill up with gasoline again to the maximum and see how much gasoline is filled. And accordingly you see how many KM you have traveled.
And then there are simple mathematical calculations, because you will know how many kilometers you have traveled and how much fuel you have spent on it.
End :-)
I myself used to always do this, until a car with an on-board computer appeared. By the way, I also checked it in this way and found that it slightly embellishes the consumption readings, but not at all significantly.
Good luck on the roads!

there is only one hilarious answer to this:
"Slavik don't give a damn, we've already done this a hundred times" ©

and if the arrow is lying in such a brazen way, then look at the thread on the club forum about it =)

A
Alsou 11.02.22

I thought the arrow is not lying :) it even goes over the edge, as if the tank is full.
60-80km? And I'm shaking before the first refueling, as soon as the light comes on :))

Unreal 11.02.22

Re-read several times.

What my want to say :).
FROM the phrase "I went by car until the light came on. Then I filled in 40 liters." It does not follow that the car was filled up to a full tank. Hence the reasonable question. And why did you decide that 60 - 40 = a light bulb? (well, or vice versa 40l + bulb = full tank)
If from the fact that the arrow on the tidy showed a full tank, then it's pure lies too :) Shooters cannot be trusted!

So mulberries are not for you... And the light bulb usually lights up in cars when a power reserve of about 60-80 km remains.

MrZorG 11.02.22

well, that's right - it's so calm =)

Yes, I will not :) I will ride, as always. The light came on - go to the nearest gas station.

in the city more than 50 do not recommend (warm-ups / traffic lights / etc.) =)

When driving slowly, we have enough gasoline (after turning on the light bulb) for 50 km. guaranteed as long as the fuel level sensor is working correctly. And as for the tubers, it is rightly said that the club rules.

Now I won't shake when the light comes on :))

M
MrZorG 11.02.22

how else) ) )
that's why I wrapped it on the first pour five drops before normal refueling =)

OGO :) and it was not scary, also on the track?

I had a case when I stretched "on a light bulb" for about 70 km (but it was on the highway) but did not dare further. .

hmm ... and with me, with a measured ride, 10l for 90-100km
with a mixed ride, 10l for 70-80km,
and when I went to the drag, with power, 6 races with a slipper on the floor went clearly 10l ...))
