Car : 2009 Legacy BR Wagon, 2.5L NA

Tuned or stock?: Stock

Fuel : 95 from wherever's cheapest.. normally Mobil

Fuel economy : Open road driving: 7.5L / 100km (13km / L) City: 9 - 9.5L / 100km (10.5 - 11km / L)

Fuelly stats if known :  Haven't been using Fuelly, but maybe I should

 

My economy stats are based on before I installed my roof racks & cycle carriers. Road trip from Auck - Welly consumed 44.41L for 630km = 7.04L / 100km. My next trip was with the racks installed and a bike on the roof - 24.95L for 279km = 8.94L / 100km... quite a difference!

 

I'm going to test this out again on my next couple of road trips - to Tauranga with 2 bikes on the roof... then again to Rotorua with everything taken off, and see how they compare.

 

EDIT: The other thing I neglected to mention, was that I've also changed my wheels and tyre size from when I got it. It did have 17" rims, now it has 19" rims with a higher circumference tyre, so that will also be affecting the gas mileage.

Car: 2007 BP5 JDM Legacy GT (SI Drive Auto)

Tune: Stock

Fuel: Allied 95 when in Christchurch. NPD 95 when in Hokitika

Tank: 63L on spec sheet. Haven't run it empty for a more accurate number because turbo.

Fuel Economy: 10L/100km around town (I live rural so don't do much actual town driving). 8.5-9L/100km on longer trips. I did achieve 8.4L/100km when I took delivery of the car, and did a leg between Taupo and Palmerston North (bought it in Auckland and drove it down to Hokitika over 2 days).

 

I find the trip meter to be pretty accurate on my car. I confirmed it recently by having done 195km on 17L with 11.2km/L on the dash display. Gives a 0.2L/100km difference.

Happy new year!

 

Car : 2008 Infiniti G37S (Nissan 'Skyline' 370gt)

Tuned bone stock

Fuel : Mobile 98

Fuel economy (from Fuelly) : 9.6L/100km

 

Seems lot of the wagons are not so far off, in many cases better.

 

Been on few big road trips lately and all i can see is it would be nice to have a more practical car than this coupe lol. Going away for long vacation soon but when I'm back in March i'll be seriously looking at a swap or just buy  nice Legacy wagon and sell this Skyline. Lookin forward to being in a manual, turbo subi again  soon haha :)

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
