Yo guys, got myself a VR4 Legnum and loving it.. only thing is its blowing through the gas, nearly done a 3/4 from a full tank and have only done 150kms. Not driving that hard too. I knew it was a guzzler before I got it but thought I could get at least 350kms from a tank .. does that sound right or is something screwed? Its on 95 gas but didn't think that would affect economy.

/Welcome2 Yeah, 350 should be easily doable even round town, if i use the aircon, and thrash it, iv had as bad as 220 from a tank of 95. The thing is that the fuel gauges can be a bit misleading, mine stays at 3/4 until its just about empty, then it plummets. Id leave it for a bit, and if its consistently bad, then go from there. Might need a tune up etc. If not try a search for the DIY diagnostic test.

Congrats on being a full member for your first post :D

It is a bit difficult to say exactly how much you should get per tank, but most members get between 300 and 500km on a tank. Try filling it up and seeing how many litres you get in there to really see how much fuel it's using.

/Wyhy /Welcome and welcome to membership.

I'd do as Brad recommended, don't worry abuot it to much, like whats been said, the fuel gauge is quite random :)

Welcome m8


Sounds worse than normal, is the boost up from standard? That can make a huge difference. And obviously, the way you drive :)

Hehe

Hiya I found with my other cars that If I ran them on a better ron fuel I got about 8mpg more than with the standard fuel. Not tried it with the Leggie tho. Mine is bad on fuel at the mo cause it only does really short trips and it doesn't like it

Trying running it on 98. Remember to reset the ECU after you have done a couple of refills on it.

Nah the car is on standard boost. I got 240k's from 48L, pretty sh!t eh. On the 98 now, see how it goes, next thing is to replace the air filter as its a pod one and looks pretty dirty. Going from what people say here I'll try and find the original air filter box from a wreckers.

Did the ecu reset already but makes sense to do it after a few tanks ha.

Hello and a member allready, I suck. If yours is a tip some here recomend resetting ECU every so often to change back to default gear changes, sounded like a good idea to me.
