Giving u an idea on how to read the INSTANT bar (L/100km) in plain words:
1) press the accelerator harder, the bar is going up right? The more u press the accelerator, the more fuel are burned thus the INSTANT bar are going up depending on how hard u press it. This one is easy to understand & make sense right?
2) when driving & release the pedal (accelerator), the bar turned to 0. To save fuel to the max, most modern car will cut the fuel flow when u release the pedal at certain speed (say above 50km/h). That's why we get the 0 (meaning uses 0 Liter of fuel/100km of travelling) on INSTANT bar. When the car sense the speed are decreasing to a complete stop, the fuel cut are released to a minimum fuel flow just enough to idle your car if u bring it to a complete stop. That's why u will then see the bar are progressing to a full bar when u are slowing down until the car are not moving anymore. It means that, when the car stopped (idling), u are not gaining any milage (distance) for each liter of fuel burned or in other words, u will need
unlimited liter of fuel to reach 100km (hence the full INSTANT bar). Again, make sense right?
Moral of the story..in order to save fuel to the max, please accelerate & decelerate gradually.....
& please dont stop..LOL (just joking on the bolded statement). To some extreme effort to save more fuel, can also switch off the engine (i.e. while waiting at the traffic light etc)..but surely u will be baked to perfection under a hot blazing sun..hehe
thanks bro for the sharing. Untill today i pump 3 times for my car d. Still about 9.9l/100KM. I think i have a heavy foot. hehe
