Fuel Economy

You said it, not me!
It's a small.price for so much performance.

Im getting on short journeys about 240 miles on a full tank

[Chris.W]

On a non stop run i get around 270 mile to a full tank ( filled up the spout).
Having said that, the worst i have gotten with the car in it's current setup was at the ring where i managed 2.6mpg!!
Was fun tho :-)

That's some 430 kms! Gone as far as 300 kms, topped up with 40 litres. Assuming I had 20 litres left may have hit 400...don't trust my fuel sender as it bounces up and down after the half way mark.

Heh Im still getting only 300kms out of my tank. Really annoying since petrol costs so bloody much

I live up a very windy and hilly road out of my town. That uses alot of fuel on braking, accelerating over and over. Good fun to drive at times but like I said, alot of fuel. My fuel guage is also up and down all the time so I don't know what to believe at times haha:confused:. My car doesn't sound like the worst though . These care are terrible with fuel but really nice to drive :thumbup:

Sounds like you guys need to do some fault finding. I get 450ish km city still, and can get to Taupo on just under half a tank.

Few weeks back I fill mine up in Matamata, went off to Auckland, Albany North Shore back to Tauranga and fuel light come on as I was coming up my road and had done less then 450kms on the full tank, Mine seem to get worst each week, Full up last week and used half of tank in about 140kms... Something is wrong....

You forgot to mention the fast and the furious driving on the motorway following your mate in his legnum lol.

It cost me $40 to go from Matamata to Hamilton and back. Somewhere around 140km, passing a few times either way but reasonable driving.

Oh yeah lol forgot about that, That use up good ¼ of the tank

My fuel economy has gone from bad to worse, think I'll get spark plugs and O2 done

at one stage I was getting less than 40km per quarter of a tank.. all because cel and water in the electrics... fixed it self after a week.. and I then desconned the battery... to make sure it was good as gold.. now getting 400km a tank now local driving..

[low_vr4]

I'm getting about 40kms per quarter as well

[Badger_01]

I got 230km to half a tank, then the other half just disappeared

Check leads and coil packs as well. If those are arcing out you will find a massive drop in economy.

hi all I did trip to donington park last week and I have done 9.5litres per 100 km this is out town driving but the car it is not standard I am on the end of td 04 project I just need to fit new injectors an remmap the ECU which will be soon, any way as soon as put td04 turbos I felt difference about economy I think that is because of the turbo spool starts later than the stock ones it is spools after 4k if you drive up to 4k the economy is very good (with stock injectors) I don,t know after the new ones but I think will be not much big difference. my upgrades so far fuel pump wallboro,evo 8 intercooler,evo8 clutch with lighter flywheel,FPR,magnessor cables ,cooler box for the air filter ,spark plugs,oil temp and pressure sensors with gauges,of course two td04 turbos+ kunigava aqtuators ,2.5 into 3inches exhaust ,custom exhaust manifolds to fix the turbos on,boos controller greedy. NEEDS to fix bigger injectors and o2 sensor and remmap
