That's shocking. Was it round town driving?
I done just under 380kms to a tank, Over half of my driving is on a country road, Been trying to driving nicely and staying off boost as much I can with having it good boot now and then.
$112 to full just over 52 liters of 95 octane

i got 8.9k to the litre, with 80% of that coming back from auckland, although i might, or might not have been speeding almost the entire way back
Still better than me, I'm getting less than 300km a tank on 95, fully up every 2nd week lol
Manual Super #143/283
Last fill up 50.1lit to 190miles = 17.236mpg
300 to a tank! f**k me! are you towing a huge boat around everywhere you go?
I only get that kind of shocking fuel economy when I was giving it alot a right foot.
usually get between 400 and 450km to a tank with around town driving, bit of motorway stuff occasionally. and that was after I put my cams in which im sure didnt help economy
I noticed my fuel economy went up when i stopped downshifting on the autobox.
Jeeeesus thats some horrific gas use - like "is something not working right" type shocking
Are you driving it solely foot-flat or from cold starts and thats it?
I remember one of my 7G's did similar when the 02 sensor died a death by avgas
I get 420km per 55L of fuel
Gas light comes on with 15L in tank lol
If i get into boost and play with the car a bit i get about 340km to 55L
I also run 16ish psi
$78 for 55L of Sunoco 94

I get pretty good economy, in my experience the following is a good path to follow.
The things I would check
1) Driving style. Don't let the intake pressure get out of the -21inHg -10inHg range (requires accelerating VERY slowly) and see how you go. If you get 550+ out of a tank, its not really worth persuing the rest of the list
2) O2 sensor
3) Boost leak test
4) Make sure you are not getting excessive knock (i.e. running 14+ psi on standard intercooler will put you on low octane maps)
5) Get injectors cleaned (or new ones, I got ID1000s)
6) Get a tune
You forgot one important thing between 1 and 2 check your spark plugs are good. These make a HUGE difference to economy.
Yeah I have no idea, fuel economy is better since I replaced the fuel filter hahahaha
Nope its a recirc one, looks like a knock off GFB one.
I need new plugs but I cant find anywhere that sells BKR7IEX, was going to replace the O2 sensor when I get an AFR gauge and sensor. Def need a tune/remap but pretty sure theres no one up here that could do it, still have a few things to put on the car like fpr, large bore fuel rail adaptor, walbro fuel pump, ebc
PM me - if you can't get any down the line then I could get some and courier them down.
