Fuel consumption - From 8km/l to 18km/l

Post by **CasKru** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 2:39 pm

With the fuel price that keeps on increasing I had to make plan with my bakkies fuel consumption and that's when I decided to buy HalveLoaf..

So for less than I paid on fuel in Bloudraad aka CasKar, I now pay instalment, fuel, insurance and further fuel increases won't hurt as much. The last tank I got 18km/l.

I do miss driving Bloudraad everyday though

Ek sou graag die Aygo of Yaris roete wou gaan maar die Kia het meer in die budget gepas vir die ouderdom model.

Hulle se jy moet nou en dan die petrol uit-tap en in die Hilux gooi, dit raak glo vrot in die tank.

It helps alot in traffic to see if there is a slow poke in your lane, but petrol bill is a killer.
I'm driving my dad's old mazda 323 to work everyday and hate every moment of it :evil: but at 15km / lt, well at the end of the month it makes up for it.

When ever I start feeling depressed about not being in the Lux... I just think 18km/l and all is well again

My Atos werk LEKKER vir die dag tot dag trippies. :)

Ek het voorheen amper 60km per dag gery net tot by die werk en terug - nou is daai trippie minder as 10km, heen en terug.

Ek was BLY om nie meer in die verkeer te sit nie, maar nou mis ek dit nog minder .... :)

and the way the fuel prices keep going up and up and up, more people will go this route

18+ km/L very appealing

Atos...the name says it all!

18km/l laat my nogal giggelende gedagtes kry

Yes, that is why I had to let go of my hilux and buy sj410, but 18km/l is very impressive!

dalkill · Post by **dalkill** » Tue Mar 27, 2012 8:57 am

i'm seriously contemplating putting in a gas system in the 2.7 as well.
Gas should be about R7 per lt now. Wonder how much i would have to drive to recover the R7000 installation costs though.

Also an option.. but I myself don't like conversions for the reason of the teething issues.

Only trouble is that your new karretjie will disappear in one of our famous Gauteng potholes...

Ek het gehoort 64c/l :evil:

So:
Bloudraad (7km/l) : 1700km / 7 = 243L * 11.05 (huidige prys) = R2685
Bloublasie (18km/l) : 1700km / 18 = 95L + 11.05 (huidige prys) = R1050
Diff: R1635

Met verhoging:
Bloudraad (7km/l) : 1700km / 7 = 243L * 11.69 (huidige prys) = R2841
Bloublasie (18km/l) : 1700km / 18 = 95L + 11.69 (huidige prys) = R1111
Diff: R1730

So my besluit om die loopring aan te skaf lyk my was op die regte tyd
