After doing many trips to my grandparents before ecomodding and now more recent trips with ecomodding i struggle to see a big difference in the amount of fuel used for the same trip. a trip usually costs me around 1 bar on the fuel tank level. After this weekends trip with no mods just slowing down my consumption decreased but same amount of fuel seems to be used. So i did some calcs.

Trip highway distance is 120 km or 74.5miles. The speed limit here happens to be 120kph or 74.5 mph. At this speed my cars usual consumption is 8.6 L/100km or 27mpg and the trip takes me 1 hour.

After slowing down to an average speed of around 90kph or 59mph my consumption dropped to 7.5 L/100km or 31mpg. However the same trip now took me 1 hour and 20 min. Which means i drove for 20 min more and had the engine run for 20 min longer

So that begs the question. Yes i slow down to decrease my mpg but the result is an increase in travel time? and at what distance do these balance themselves out?

Does anyone have a link to a L per hour consumption calculator so i can do a proper investigation?
