is this fuel economy right???

[StockoVRWagz]

I was on holiday in vic and had a '07 corolla rented for me. I give it a bit of shit when my mrs & kid wasnt in the car. When I took it back I got 553k's from 10L. Ive never seen economy that good before are the astras & barinas like that too?

[padrickz88]

no way, something wrong in the calculations there

[StockoVRWagz]

lol i should scan the recipt i got. it says odometer out 25900 and odometer in 26453 thats 553k's and i put $10 @ 99.9c in it and it pretty much overflowed out the tank

[MikesCalais]

how big is the tank? does anyone know? because if its a 65lt tank (just guessing) that would mean it would get about 3,500ks per tank... doubtful :/

[CANYONERO]

i reckon you were driving a prius and you thought it was a rolla! lol.

[StockoVRWagz]

i recon i was driving a corolla, because it was a corolla.

[padrickz88]

well no way you got that many km's to 10 litre's you asked if its right im and telling you its not lmao

[StockoVRWagz]

yeah i dont really understand it either..
melb airport to mornington
mornington to frankston 2x maybe 3x
mornington to rosebud west
mornington to mt isa
mornington to melb airport
plus a bit of running around to the beach and shit like that
if i put more fuel in it would have been on my feet. the rent-a-car place must have ****ed up somewhere

easy put another $10 and try again

The corollas are good on fuel but what you are quoting is not possible. That is 1.8 L/100km. Highly unlikely.

ROFL if they really did have fuel economy as good as that, i'd be buying one as a daily driver.

[PaulSV6]

Lmao, there's No Way a Corolla, let alone any other car could get 553km from 10l of fuel.
Fuel tank Capacity in Corolla's ranges from 50-55lts

[commsirac]

the fuel gauge went back to full?, sounds like there was just a flow problem into the tank and it backed up hitting the shutoff.
or the other alternative, the pump was faulty, very unlikely.
1.8L/100km, impossible.

Those were my thoughts, I know we've got one pump at a Shell near my place that always insisted my old car was full, would only put 1-2L in it when it was running on fumes. bastard pump No other cars had the issue though, so mine was fiddly.

[StockoVRWagz]

yeah it was full, otherwise the rental place would have charged me $3.30 per litre for every litre it took to put the car back up to full, and it started dribbling out the filler. I made sure it was full, **** $3.30 a litre lol. even if those figures are wrong, 5 days and all that driving for $10, cant complain. the only thing i can see where it went wrong is the odometer in and odometer out numbers were wrong.

It's not even possible in a Prius... Their fuel consumption is 4L/100km from memory.

That fuel consumption is just barely possible on a 125cc scooter.

[SIG-054]

i work for a rental company and those corollas get from 6.5 to 9 litres per 100
