2024 Ford E-Transit Electric Van Delivers More Range, Faster Charging

Not even in the ballpark for range.

Oh but I did get 16L/100km on my TE300 motorcycle.

That Prius does amazing. It’s no wonder they are amongst the hottest selling new cars. My Volt averages 3.5-4.0 L/100km.

The Silverado has settled in with an average of 13L/100km after the AFM muzzler. That’s mixed driving with 60% in town and 40% highway. On pure highway it’ll drop into the 10’s, I’m very happy with that. Last week I hauled a Ford Edge on my tandem car trailer (heavy unit with 7000# axles) and knocked down a 16.2 average, and that was going from Osoyoos to Vernon, lots of uphill pulling. According to some, I should be getting 6 mpg towing with being forced to use earplugs with all the engine noise. I’m here to say it’s simply not true.

How much time did you spend refueling?

Seriously good economy pulling that. My old truck would have been 16.2 without the trailer

Amazing. How much mileage total did you put on the prius so far?

There's about 228k now.

Not terrible considering it was getting it's neck wringed out...and it's a 2 stroke.

What was the oil's L/100km consumption?

ktm525 · « **Reply #4587 on:** April 29, 2024, 10:27:45 pm »

good question. It's injected so no idea. I did top up the reservoir. 100mL maybe

Ridgeline was 14L/100km over the 1500kms and I was wringing it's neck at times too.

Couple bikes and medium load, they F up the slip stream a little.

Lol. Does Ridgeline have the same Real Time 4WD system as CRV?

I didn't do better than 13 L/100km in the Odyssey last year with gear on the roof and bikes on the roof and back hitch. Actually post VCM muzzle I did not do better than 12 L/100km. Combined with the craptastic peeling white paint I was just done with that thing.

NO, it does not have the Real Time 4wd system. It's got the i-VTM4 system from the Pilot, which is similar to the SH-AWD system found in Acuras.

Good to know. I figured they wanted something more robust for Pilot and Ridgeline, I wasn't aware it was the same system in the SH-AWD, but it makes sense: Someone in Manual Elitist Jerks wants to swap over a TL SH-AWD manual drive train into their Ridgeline.

gen1 Ridgelines have the VTM which is pretty solid. The rear differential alone is a big unit. Can lock the rear diff in certain gears and speeds etc. The Gen 2 Ridgelines (2017+) got the fancier SHish system.

Two years and just over 16,000kms with the Civic Si and the mileage seems to be stabilizing. Still loving the car and it fits my needs very well. Got the winter tires off today and had its first true inspection. As you can see from the picture there are 4 numbers indicating the last two years of “winter” and “summer” driving. This past winter was especially mild so I think that’s why the mileage was a bit better. Lifetime average is sitting at 6.3L/100kms. Not bad for a compact sports sedan.

That's pretty impressive for a 200 hp hot(ish) hatch

Great numbers Johnny

Trip is done. Ended up with 11,000 km (give or take a hundred or so) and average economy for the entire trip was 6.5 L/100. This is with my roof box (15 cf) and winter tires.

Best tank was 5.7 (mostly back roads in Utah) and worst was 7.5 (trying to get away from the tornadoes in Kansas)

Coldest temp was -2C (when I left in a snow storm) and 34C (in St George Utah).

Car and box is covered in a million dead bugs.

Awesome! That's quite the haul!

What a trip! Great economy too.

rrocket · « **Reply #4598 on:** May 01, 2024, 11:55:04 pm »

Congrats, man! Great trip! Hope it did your mind and body good!

And this is also why the Corolla (and Camry) are so beloved. They go about their business with little fuss and lots of efficiency and competency. And in the last generations Toyoda added in some personality and fun to drive.

This is a really good car IMO. Are you still liking it?

Great numbers! There's no way my 2013 Corolla could do the same.
