Honda fuel glutton

Asked by D. Davidson

SINCE I raised the issue of fuel consumption on my Honda VTi, I have noticed other complaints about Honda fuel use. My dealer tested it and claimed to get 7.2 litres for 100km, but I am still getting 16 litres for 100km. I am also not happy with my dealer who drove my car 3686km, without permission, while supposedly inquiring into my complaints.

I WOULD be asking the dealer to demonstrate how they were able to get 7.2 litres for 100km from your car. Not only that, I would be furious if my dealer drove my car almost 4000km while in their care. It's outrageous and I would take it up with the dealer principal directly -- and with Honda if you don't get a reasonable response. Consider changing to another dealer as well.
