Fuel consumption

My car's average fuel consumption since purchase until now: 9.84 l./100 km. It's traveled 2,570 km on 253 liters of fuel. The maximum fuel economy that I was able to reach in the strait highway is 7.04 l./100 km in average.
You may see the car's dashboard shoot, that I captured two weeks before, how many kilometers in average the car is passes on 1 liter of the 98 octane petrol (100 km./14.2 km./l. = 7.04 l./100km.).

Average fuel consumption in km./l.
What is clear for me: in order to get low fuel consumption, you must work very hard. It's not easy to gently press the accelerator - the car is "requesting" more and more and the feedback is felt immediately: in acceleration and in fuel consumption. :-)

Odometer: 16,247 km.

Honda Civic Hatchback Mk9

This post is about another car.

Let me introduce you my friend Alexey Bass.
Previously he owned a Skoda Fabia, but 3 months before has upgraded his car to the new Honda Civic.

In his car's blog he sharing his experience with Civic hatchback, publishing car service related details, making  car gadgets and accessories reviews and sometimes he makes a comparison with his previous Skoda Fabia car. Also, his blog is well-organized - it's easy to navigate within it.

For me, Honda Civic it's a nice family car, but it has a lack of "internal spirit": many things it does good, but it's hard to distinguish it from many others in its price group.
