Well, driving with cruise control can be more relaxing, but it doesn't necessarily save fuel.

Because you no longer get any feedback on how much effort the car has to exert.

I finally managed to get mine to turn off the cruise control HIMSELF last time because it couldn't climb the hill (driving on the A 62 through the Hunsrück at 160 km/h is not possible , 140 km/h works).

With foot gas, I would have realized that I was already driving too fast and would have been satisfied with a lower speed.

But if you're cruising at 130 km/h, it's definitely comfortable.

Thanks to hardcore tank technology, I'm getting over 68 liters into my G3 Var - that's easily more than 1200 km .
(Always make sure to press the vent nipple when refueling, as you can often still add almost 14 liters even after the pump has shut off. However, this is only recommended if you plan to use some of that fuel afterwards, otherwise the tank could overflow due to the expansion of the gasoline.)

Record: Drove to Luxembourg (140 km!) and filled up with 68.5 liters of fuel!! I was shaking .

Consumption: 5.2 - 5.7.
Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

Of course, one must use the cruise control according to the situation .

The car consumed 52.5 liters of fuel for a distance of 1200 kilometers.

I can still fit about 5-6 more liters in using this filling method. The maximum amount I've filled it with so far is 55 liters.

Does the Variant have a different fuel tank?

Sure.

G3 55 L
G3 Var 60 L.
G3 Var/Syncro 65 L

That's what it says in the "How-to" guide.

@Warlord:

Hi,

While this might not perfectly fit the context, it's important to me:

You say the EGR valve is closed, so I'm assuming it's "malfunctioning." How would dirt enter the intake manifold of a 96 kW common-rail diesel engine operating at its lowest RPM if the EGR system were in its standard configuration?
Is the fuel efficiency (or return rate) higher at a) say, 1,800 rpm in 6th gear (100 km/h), compared to b) at 3,000 rpm and a correspondingly higher speed?
Where is the effective amount of dirt entering the intake system higher?
Does the lower diesel fuel consumption in scenario a) offset the potentially higher amount of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), which could lead to more contaminants entering the system compared to scenario b?

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

"I'm not sure what you mean by that."

Here are some other possible translations:

* "I don't understand what you're saying."
* "Could you please explain?"
* "What do you mean?"
* "Can you give me more information?"

No, my EGR valve is original. The amount of dirt entering is higher in case b) because the engine receives more fuel due to the increased RPMs, but the EGR valve is still opened to the same extent (due to the same torque required). It's different now when you 'put the pedal to the metal,' as the EGR valve is closed at full throttle. The EGR valve opens depending on the load (it's variable).

Best regards, WarLord.

"THX!" translates to "Thanks!" in English.

Hi everyone,

Regarding the cruise control and lack of feedback:

Besides acoustics, if available, the power consumption display is a good indicator when you know what the maximum consumption looks like for each individual circuit.

For example, with the ASV engine, you can achieve fuel consumption of no more than 14 liters per 100 km in 5th gear, and that over a very wide RPM range (the maximum is around 2000 RPM at 14 liters, and it decreases to about 13 liters as you increase the RPM – at least in the Ibiza).

The connection is clear because within a gear, the speed and velocity are linearly related. This means that the number of injections per kilometer is constant, and therefore the maximum amount injected is also constant (excluding any Russ limitation).

Full load at 5th gear means an instantaneous fuel consumption of 13...14 liters - and that's how much the cruise control needs to "accelerate."

By the way, yesterday I experienced something for the first time: it almost couldn't make it up a highway hill – going uphill at 100 km/h in 5th gear with a trailer attached, the speed dropped by about 4 km/h while the display showed 13.9 liters being consumed.

Best regards,

January.

Your people are absolutely right when they're driving a Beetle or something similar.
The problem is that at low engine speeds, the oil pressure is also very low because the oil pump is driven directly by the engine. In addition, the load on the connecting rod bearings is very high when accelerating hard at low RPM (due to high peak pressures in the cylinder). That's the theory. Now, regarding your 1Z: All modern diesel and gasoline engines are designed today so that they can be operated at low speeds. Any engine speed and load is possible without damage. However, it should not 'stutter' or 'knock' excessively. This only happens below the idle speed.
By the way: The high mileage of diesel vehicles is mainly due to the lower engine speeds. This results in a relatively low piston speed in relation to the distance traveled. The same applies to the entire valve train and all other components.

So, just keep driving your diesel as described and let the others waste their gasoline.

Best regards, Johannes.
