Re: Elantra Scangauge city mileage update

>LoL If it isn't then the online calc i'm using doesn't work haha Try the one at http://www.euronet.nl/users/grantm/frans/fuel.html
If you want to do it yourself, here are some conversions for various parts of the process. I found these at
http://en.18dao.net/Measure_Conversion/fuelconsumption
------------------ To change into
miles per gallon (UK) miles per gallon (US) multiply by 0.833 miles per gallon (UK) miles per litre multiply by 0.22 miles per litre miles per gallon (UK) multiply by 4.546 miles per gallon (UK) kilometres per litre multiply by 0.354
miles per gallon (US) miles per gallon (UK) multiply by 1.2 miles per gallon (US) miles per litre multiply by 0.2642 miles per litre miles per gallon (US) multiply by 3.785 miles per gallon (US) kilometres per litre multiply by 0.4251
X miles per gallon gallons per 100 miles: divide 100 by X (both gallons must of the same type)
X miles per gallon (UK) litres per 100 km: divide 282.5 by X X miles per gallon (US) litres per 100 km: divide 235.2 by X X km per litre litres per 100 km: divide 100 by X X miles per litre litres per 100 km: divide 62.14 by X
-----------------
I wrote up a little spreadsheet using these conversions. I'd email it, but it's so simple, I'll just write it this way:
Cell Contents ---- -------------------------------- A1 MPG -> litres/100km C1 litres/100km (US Gal) E1 litres/100km (Imp Gal)
A2 C2 =IF(A2;100/(A2*0.4251);0) E2 =IF(A2;100/(A2*0.354);0)
A4 Litres/100km -> MPG C4 MPG (US) E4 MPG (UK)
A5 C5 =IF(A5;100/A5*0.6213712*3.785;0) E5 =IF(A5;100/A5*0.6213712*4.546;0) -----------------------------------------
A1, C1, D1, A4, C4, E4 are all strings
Enter MPG in A2
Enter litres/100km into A5

I've started to keep track of my milage simply calculating it based on the amount of gas and distance travelled since the last fill up.
I'm driving a 2002 2.0l Elantra.
I do mostly highway driving around 100-120km/h which is about 60-70mph and get 39MPG or 8.6 l/100km for those north of the boarder like me ;-)
Those figures are based on 6 fillups mostly from about 1/4 - 1/2 empty having travelled 2218km.
The only thing i've really gained from this is that i drive a heck of a lot more than i thought. However, i am getting about what i expected from the data i've seen on my vehicle.

Well, the Scangauge I bought is working great, and I thought I'd share the new tank of gas mileage with the group.
In -pure- city driving, and we're talking not any free speed length of more than a quarter mile, ninety percent on stop and go with lights and stopsigns every two or three blocks. But decent slow driving.
At this point with close to half a tank used, 22.5 mpg. And still very slowly dropping.
Frowny face.
Normally it's a mixture of freeway and town, which puts it around 26 to 27, but this stint of stop and go really takes it's toll. The good part is that I know it will get around 40 on the road, which makes it a little better.
But still impressively low I think.
