I'll never forget my first car, a Datsun 1200 GX, bought second-hand in 1985 when I finished matric. My buddy and I drove that down to Durban from Joburg with one tank of fuel, which cost us a whole R40. We then had to put another R8 in the car to get to Margate, where all the fun was!😅

The clients i drive tend to wonder why i take turns with a bit more momentum than usual, then proceed to still drive fairly slow😅.

Keep in mind ambient temperature and altitude influence your tyre pressure immensely. I do a lot of long distance driving and always had to check and amend tyre pressure very often. I now use nitrogen in my tyres which makes a big difference. My tyres runs cooler and less fluctuation in tyre pressure on long journeys which saves me fuel and my tyres last longer. This won't help you much if you only drive in and around the city but it works for long distance driving.

Excellent video by the way!!!

Cars with electronic fuel injection can use 0 fuel while coasting as the momentum turns the engine over. Older vehicles with carburettors are more dependant on engine speed so then neutral will use less than when in gear.

Hi Ciro, I drive a 2021 Hyundai Tucson, drove down to King William's Town in the Eastern Cape. I must say, that car was a dream to drive on that +930km. Hyundai claimed fuel consumption of 9.0L/100km, i managed to return a figure of 6.0l/100km. This was all due to driving style, keeping the speedo consistent at 110km/h, give or take 130km/h on some stretches. Driving economical is not just smart, but i makes you a way better driver in the end. Reading the traffic in front, coasting wherever possible and definitely using your cruise control, especially if your trip involves more that 200km worth of driving.

Yes, maintaining your momentum and anticipating stops and starts helps a lot. In residential areas they just build more and more speedbumps and put in more and more stop streets etc which don't help especially when you are doing short distances in your residential area. Will always try and save fuel, why pay more? Thanks for the great advice and recommendations!

My thirsty vehicles are used for towing a caravan. Speed makes a massive difference to fuel consumption while towing. I found almost 15% improvement in efficiency by decreasing towing speed from 100kph to 90kph on the GPS. And on an average day it only cost about 30-40 minutes longer traveling time.

Adjusted my speed by 1) "reading" what the traffic is going to do by; 2) maintaining momentum, i.e. ease throttle up hill; 3) set my aircon to auto and at 22 degrees opposed to having it on constantly at say 20 degrees; 4) digitally check/inflate tyres twice a month with a Xiaomi portable compressor. Managed to get my Fronx GLX AT from 14.1kmpl to 15.6kmpl in town driving.

Gravity helps on downhills. Gravity works against you on uphill. Spend less time going uphill. Spend more time going downhill. Drive slightly slower downhill. Drive slightly faster uphill. Keep revs in first torque peak while accelerating. Like my current car I try keep between 2200 and 2800 revs. Slower you drive the less wind and other resistances = less fuel spent. Especially after 80km/h. Takes paths of least resistance around corners. Use brakes less and use engine for braking more.

While not impossible, this is unlikely. Much of SA's fuel is imported as is, and the rest is made in a handful of refineries, stored in a handful of depots and delivered to the various branded fuel stations by third parties. It would be dangerous and likely not cost effective to tamper with the fuel or the supply chain.

The higher the engine speed, the sooner the engine warms up. However, to warm up all mechanical parts on your car properly (differential, gearbox etc) you have to drive it. And yes, modern cars that use "thinner" viscosity oil in smaller engines generally warm up a lot faster than older cars.

Ciro, i just bought a Toyota urban cruiser xr manual and i was wondering if fitting a turbo to the car will help with fuel consumption. I know it will void the warrenty but coming from a Ford Kuga 1.6 turbo, i miss the extra power. Would you fit a turbo or not at all?
@CiroDeSiena
@CiroDeSiena 8 ай бұрын
Hi there, as much as this sounds like a fun way of owning the fastest Urban Cruiser in SA, it's almost certainly not worth the time, hassle and expense. The engine in your car is the 1.5 litre naturally aspirated engine from the Suzuki Jimny. There will likely be turbo kits available in countries such as Australia but they'll be pricey even before shipping and import duties. The problem is that all the mount points for that kit won't line up with anything in your Cruiser, and most of the piping probably won't fit either. You'd have to get all the mount points custom engineered onto your chassis and the kit. I stand to be corrected but I just don't see an easy or cost effective way of doing this. And if you do get it done somehow, it will undoubtedly make your fuel consumption worse, significantly worse. And then, as you correctly pointed out, you would lose your warranty and service plan. If you can't get used to the reduced power, I think your best option would be to trade the car in on something more powerful. Will be way easier and likely save you money in the long run. Thanks for watching and you're welcome to reach out to me on social media if you'd like to chat further.

I disagree with the coasting part. The coasting in neutral uses zero fuel, and you get to accelerate for for free without tapping the throttle provided you going on a decline, u can wait for the car to come to your desired speed then engage gear, thereby rev matching, this only works when there is less or no traffic i used to do this all the time back in the day, in a 9km stretch i used to coast around 4-5kms, provided the road is flat or decline.

Driving 120 my car gives me 9.5 km on a liter. Driving 55km it gives me 20km on a liter. I drive 55 thank you very much, and I do get from point a to point b. It takes me 4 hours to do 150km. It takes 4seconds to crash at 120 and loose your life

I'd argue that at 55kph (on a 120kph road) you become a road hazard due to speed differential and actually increase your chances of losing your life. Especially in South Africa with a high proportion of people speeding at 130kph+. A while ago I also saw a test for optimal speed for fuel efficiency, which came out to be +-90kph. Of course this will differ based on the vehicle itself and numerous other things such as windspeed - but I think it provides a decent guideline nonetheless.

Tyre pressure. Mythbusters did a test. There was no measurable difference or very little.
@CiroDeSiena
@CiroDeSiena 8 ай бұрын
I saw that, but it all adds up I suppose. I should have added that correct tyre pressures improve handling ability and therefore safety and also helps ensure the tyres do not degrade early in their life cycle. Thanks for watching!

@antonburger01 8 ай бұрын
I didn't see that episode, but I suppose it depends on how much deviation there is from the correct tyre pressure (near flat versus ideal) and also the type of tyre (all terrains & off-road versus normal street tyres). Will go check out that episode, will be interesting to see the experiment.

Injector cleaners don't work, you rather put premium fuel in your car it has.the same additives to clean your engine. This injector cleaner myth has been debunked by many professionals, check out carcarnut channel on injector cleaner. He used to work for a dealership and that was a money making scam. Rather go for a high pressure injector clean, the apparatus is hooked up directly and sorts the root of the problem.
