2013 My14 LX
Manual

7.5L/100ks around the city/suburbs
7.0 - 6.0L/100ks highway driving
And for some weird reason, when I'm down the east coast going from Scamander to St Helens 5.8/100ks


And of course
anywhere between 10-11L/100ks after my fiance drives it :P (since I've taken part of my snorkel off, he can't help but put his foot down for the extra noise)
Daily: My14 Lancer LX
Weekender: 2009 MY09 Ralliart Hatch

I know the smaller engines use less fuel but just how big is the difference?

There isnt alot of difference between the 2 and 2.4l CJ's! I have owned both and i get very similar readings in both driving sensibile, both city and highway / country driving!

power wise there is a differnce after having ago at driving andrews the other day i could feel the power difference engine wise and manual to the cvt ( which is mine) but it all depends on how u drive them flog them and u wont get good fuel economy etc if i throw mine into sports mode i dont great fuel economy etc still not bad but not as good as non sports mode

Yeah I know taking it to 6k in 2nd doesn't help LOL

I've not driven a Lancer with CVT but did drive a new Pulsar with one, omg the difference. it was also the base model so stuck with a poky 1.8 and just 96kw so I found it slow and the CVT revving the engine too much it felt like the clutch slipping in a manual.

Back to the Lancer and I know the claimed fuel usage on paper but it will be interesting seeing how it does in a long trip with 3 people and luggage.
