The variables are called in the text with this symbol where # is the number of the variable. It will use specific information about the vehicle and apply it to the review segment text based on the variables embedded into the review segments. According to Skoda chairman Winfried Vahland, This car is our answer to the increasingly strong demand for small cars with low fuel consumption and. The game will pick at random from the selection if more than one review segment are in range.Īfter the game has selected 11 reviews segments for each category, it will piece them together into a review. If the rating for the specific category falls between the segment's values it will be eligible to be used in the review.

Then individual reviews segments for the 11 categories are loaded from the save game file based on the ratings of the vehicle being reviewed.Įach category has its own review segements, and these segments in turn have a value range in which the segment can be selected. When the player opens the in game magazine for the first time (that turn) the game will generate a new “issue” of the magazine, and populate the reviews and other data.Ī review is made up of a base review text which is loaded from the Localization files (Word #?). even without traffic, driving at very slow speeds burns up gas as the car cannot disengage the gasoline engine except cut out fuel when braking/coasting.Upon starting a new game, the reviews.xml file is saved into the save game file.

so mileage can be very poor in gridlock traffic. Heavy stop and go traffic is also particularly hard on MPG in the CRZ due to having to start up the engine each time the car moves (no EV mode). behind on general engine maintenance (engine oil, air cleaner/filter, spark plugs) and use the correct oil, that is huge. low or bad 12V battery (while the 12V battery doesn't run the electric motor, the car will spend a lot more time charging the 12V system vs if you had a good/new battery) extra weight (heavy cargo, passenger, etc) Now if this 2 hrs drive was at a crawl with an avg speed under 30mph, then it would be horrendous mileage (like under 15mpg)īut generally speaking, here are some common things that can affect mileage: If OP was driving an avg 100mph for 2 hrs, half a tank is actually exceptionally good (about 50mpg) we are trying to solve a 3 variable question with only 2 known variables. There isn't enough info given to justify a clear answer. The wonderful thing is the electric torque, I could cruise around in 6th gear city driving. The CR-Z also teaches you to drive economically, listen to it, the shift indicators etc. Also the gas in the car might be pretty old if it sat around waiting to be sold and the owner had a replacement car already. For excellent fuel economy I'd keep my speed around 60 MPH where I could get 45-50 MPG.Īs posted above routine maintenance will hurt fuel economy if it is not done. Tire pressure, I kept mine in the high 30 PSI. If you were traveling around 80 MPH then expect dramatically worse gas mileage, this happens in any car due to gearing and aerodynamics.

I found there is a good amount of 'reserve' gas when I drove 20-25 minutes on the highway with 0 mile range showing (I had my road bike in the back if I ran out, was small local highway) so using half a tank is not just tank capacity / 2. In two hours I would do 160 miles which uses about 5 gallons or about half a tank. At those speeds the engine is running pretty fast and I think IVTEC is enabled hurting fuel economy. At 80 MPH (75MPH speed limit interstate) I'd get around 32 MPG.
