Model: 2010 Focus TDCI
Generation: LV
Type: 2.0 PowerShift
Driving style: 20% City : 80% Freeway, 320km.
Fuel Consumption: 5.8 L / 100km
Total KM's on the clock: 35,000 km
AVG speed:75km/h
Conditions: 2 occupants, fully loaded with 150kg tools, fully loaded roof racks, probably another 80kg.
So, a 1L per 100 increase in consumption compared to the last trip posted above.
Drove the car back home:
Driving style: 20% City : 80% Freeway, 320km.
Fuel Consumption: 5.0 L / 100km
Total KM's on the clock: 35,500 km
AVG speed:82km/h
Conditions: 2 occupants, light load, empty roof racks.
.2L per 100 increase. Not bad, thought the roof racks would drag more. They are the fancy 'Whispbar' ones however. On the Festiva, you could really feel the resistance of the older box style roof racks on the freeway.
Did the same trip again, but did not reset the counters as the conditions were similar across the duration of the trip.
Driving style: 25% City : 75% Freeway, 660km.
Fuel Consumption: 5.2 L / 100km
Total KM's on the clock: 36,500 km
AVG speed:74km/h
Conditions: 2 occupants, light load, empty roof racks.
Pretty consistent figures. Impresseive if you ask me
