Limo Forum - Fuel Consumption
-
Brothers,
As you are on the road, fuel is one of the operating cost to consider.
Is your limo consuming fuel like drinking water?
There are some cars (i30 and Toyota Prius Hybrid) claiming to achieve 20km per litre.
How many kilometers can your limo achieved per litre?
How many litres does your limo consume a day?
-
When I was running Mercedes cab.... It used to be about 8.5 cents per kilometer...
But due to the recent surge in crude oil prices.... It will be increased accordingly.
-
I pumped my Viano 2 days ago... Pump price for diesel is at $1.74 per litre (Before discount)...

That's why, those time after changing, due to saver in diesel cost, at least some consolation.
I driving OMO, due to some default on my fuel tank, (old liao) cannot pump very full, so usually drive until see reserve tank, than will pump. Normally around $80, but not full yet. So shun shun kia will hit about 800-1000km.
Bo ai ni zhui "disposal" la..beside corporate jobs, sweep floor, advance job 8 or 18 type. Other than that, bo support..frankly, I don't take normal current booking, even in places like Tuas since I drove white, like BCL say, pay peanuts, take limousine, knn, pig also not so big.
Sweep floor different, Chios bu than stop, willing to raise their fxxxing hand one also stop, others than that, also no entertain. How I sustain? $123 nia lei, next time cannot liao, $160..knn, pax laugh in their heart.

If you ask me....
I will go register.... (driving older vehicles - higher chances of breakdown).
New vehicles - easier to build your clientele.

Breakdown = No income.

Think about it. If new Merc E220 CDI can travel 20km/litre, then your diesel cost saving is 50%.
Depending on your daily diesel consumption, the increase in operating cost is likely to be less than the rental hike if you take fuel cost into consideration.

Bro.. You can't compare your Merc Viano
Kerb weight (kg)For compact/long/extra-long variants - 2030/2055/2080 kgFuel consumption (ltr/100 km) average - 7.1–7.2 (Auto Trans. 7.9 - 8.0)WithNew Merc E220 CDI Blue EfficiencyKerb weight (kg) - 1735kgFuel Consumption (mpg) average - 48.7 mpg (5.8 ltr/100km)*Your Viano weight is allready atleast 295 kg heavierMy 7+ yrs old limo fuel consumption is also averaging 10km per litre, same as your new Viano** "according to Cycle & Carriage guy at sin ming today, consumption approximately abt 20 km/ltr"Not that I claim hor.... i dun even own the vehicle yet, how to claim.. anyway you can read some of the reviews online regarding the tech specs.Cheers.. -

In July 2011 Mercedes introduced further fuel efficiency measures to its four-cylinder line-up including a transmission upgrade to a smoother seven-speed automatic, idle-stop, self-regulating turbo compressor, optimised oil pressure control and reduced friction in belt-driven components for the E220 CDI and E250 CDI.
The E250 also benefited from the more efficient gearbox. All three variants got new steering column-mounted transmission selectors and paddle-shifters. The improvements were good for up to a 0.7L/100km improvement in fuel efficiency (on the E220 CDI).Fuel efficient... this i believed...
but 20km/litre.... a bit hard to achieve leh... also have to depend on the driving habits....
If you alway turbo.... then even 10km/litre also cannot achieved....
