Congrats on the CLS bro. Did you wel the Infiniti? V8 na bomb oooo. Still have orgasm on a 1998 grand Cherokee jeep 5.9 v8. I'm not sure MB engine will have close a grunt like the Cherokee. It'll be silent I suppose.

Thanks Bro!
Yes the G35 went to a new home.

The CLS is not too loud. just a feeble rolling grunt

People on this thread are just quoting manufacturer's figures.
The idea was to highlight what the car's onboard computer is showing or actual measurement of litres and kilometers on a full tank of fuel.

I use the aCar android app to track my fuelling

The picture I posted was my mileage today. Real actual mileage of my SUV is just about that amount or minus 1MPG
Mine actually hovers between 17-19 city driving which is its actual driving mileage recently. I've not taken it on long highway stretches apart from a journey which I did to Kaduna and back (heavy leaded foot wont allow the SUV to achieve that mileage. I've once achieved 11MPG due to my former driving style. Na 'Chanji' make me repent cheesy

Skoda Octavia 1.9tdi. this was with lots of short distance driving. often less than 6 km a day.
longer city trips of about 15km on weekends.
does better (5l/100km) on highways crushing at 90-100km an hour. pardon the picture quality. that is actually 6.6 l/100km

MPG means Miles Per Gallon .. some cars have it displayed on the dashboard while some have to connect and ECU device to get their MPG rate. So it depends on your car model.

Please how are you guys tracking this fuel thingy?
By car's onboard computer, I believe you mean OBD2? If Yes, please how do u use the OBD2 to track the mpg?

Also, what is the aCar android app all about?

Please would appreciate your response.

Thanks

Car onboard computer are the Nav screen, embedded in it is an mpg calculator that is controlled by the ECU. It isnt limited to only cars with Nav screen, I have seen such in a Mazda 626 wagon 2000 model with one small screen by the radio side.

Acar android app uses what you already have on your odometer. By full tank and measure its quantity as X litres, then reset the trip A or B to zero, drive till your reserve light comes on, pick the distance as Y kms. Then calculate how many Ykms your X litres of fuel gives you and you have A kms per B litres of fuel

Eg my accent is 40L full tank and I was able to cover 400km to reserve tank. Means my accent consumes around 8 to 10L per 100km journey

When I just got my Lexus recently, i noticed it doing 9.1 city drive and 12.1 on highway.

When I investigated my self, it happens that I had a back exhaust leak, and 3 of my caliper is sticking…

After fixing I got 17 mpg on my next highway drive…

I haven’t taken it out again on a long journey but now I get 15mpg within city drive. I have not done any servicing to the car so far

I’ll do this exhaust check. Cos my Exhaust system is direct straight-pipes. I’m not sure about leak but I’ll check it out tomorrow
