fuel consumption 2.0l

[frenchboy]

Hello everyone !

i just drove 600 miles on highway with my 2018 stinger 2.0l premium and my fuel consumption given by the calculor was 32mpg.
It's just amazing ! In France with my 2019 civic 1.5l turbo 182HP on higway i was just able to reach 34mpg and my civic weight was just 2885 lbs compare to 3611 of the stinger
i heard the fuel consumption calculator of the stinger is very accurate, is it true ?
i know sometimes they're a little bit wrong.

I'd say the 2.0 is very accurate, especially compared to my previous VW Passat which was always showing a smaller fuel consumption (about 4-5% smaller).
My Stinger does about 28mpg cruising at constant 87 mph. I have the EU Gt-line which has 19" wheels, sunroof and absolutely all the comfort options you can have on a US GT2. So it's as heavy as the 2.0 can get.

i have the 18'' wheels they are a little bit more comfortable when the road is to much used
but yes on my premium i have everything except ventilated seat and custom shock absorber
maybe the 8 speed transmission is helping a lot on highway with constant speed and cruising control

I can routinely get around 35 mpg on our '19 2.0L base model on the hwy. 40mpg is possible but take some hypermiling footwork. The on-board fuel economy display is more of an "estimator". Like most dash displays, it's a typically a bit optimistic compared to actual hand calculation at fill-up, usually by about 1-2mpg. Still useful for comparison purposes.

Ambient temp makes a big difference. Sweet spot is 70-85F. At much colder intake air temps, the ECU needs to enrich the AFR, so fuel economy drops. Hot Summer days over 90F, MPG also drops.

Also, I'm at basically sea level. Thinner air at higher elevations will see higher MPG's.


Oddly enough, our '23 GT-Line with the larger 2.5T actually gets better hwy MPGs. I can easily get over 40MPG on my commute route. For a car pushing 2 tons, that is just amazing.

Above 30mpg I think it's more than adequate given the car's size and power.
turbo engines can do wonders in terms of fuel consumption if they're used properly.
The colder the air, the richer it is, so the ECU has to inject more fuel.

jesus, i didn't know kia had launched a 5-cylinder engine. I thought only Audi's legendary 5-cylinder engine existed.

Not sure if you guys in Europe get it, but the 2.5T is an inline4 that is already used in a lot of Hyundai/Genesis vehicles, including the latest G70. Power-wise, it is quite similar to Mazda's 2.5T, which is another big turbo 4. I had one in a CX-9 and it was smoother and torquer than all the V6s in the other 3-row SUVs we test drove against it.

 

[frenchboy]

oh ok my bad i thought it was an inline 5.
yeah i saw mazda are selling their CX-9 with the 2.5T
also toyota if i'm right on their camry but atmospheric.

Nope, no 2.5 in Europe.
The post ‘20 facfeifted Stinger only came with the 3.3.
Weirdly the new G70 only comes with the 2.0 and 245hp (same one from the 2019-2020 Stinger GT Line) and a diesel 2.2 which was also available on the pre-facelift Stinger.

Driving around town my 3.3 is pretty accurate. I typically calculate at each fill-up (miles since last refill divided by gallons to automatic pump shutoff), and it's usually within 1-2 mpg without an obvious directional bias -- maybe slightly optimistic but not overtly so.

Considering I'm running E30 and a tune, I think that's close enough, and I suspect if I just ran standard gas it may track more closely. I'm usually in the 20-22mpg range for day to day suburban/rural driving (and remember E30 costs you about 10%), while on my last highway trip averaging low 80s mph I watched it creep up from 25-26 to 28+ as I ran through the ethanol mix and refilled with 93. I'm sure if I'd kept it closer to 70 I would've seen 30+.

yeah your right, adding ethanol in your fuel tank will increase your consumption, i rember in france when i had turned my civic 1.8l to 100% ethanol the comsumption has increased to 20% than casual gasoline
