Avg Ks per tank of gas?

[Guest]

Have Legacy on road after plenty of work to get it running.

I was just wondering what sort of milage ya'll are getting from a full tank of gas, as in when the hand piece stops automaticly.

I'm running 95 and so far i'm at half a tank from 200k

<<for a thread like this can i suggest also noting your tank size, as they differ>>

[BC5RA]

450-500ks long distance.

[Jammasta]

450-460 from 45 litres open road.

[funkytown]

on my poked engine was getting 400 to the nail on 40L mixed driving.

Round town closer to 300k = 40l

V3 STI wagon - modified, running BP98

[CMPLSV]

450-500 per tank open road boosting my cars nuts off (i.e trip to taupo for MM)

in traffic (weekly) 350-400ish....

[Guest]

if i'm lucky 350km (MAX)

[BlkPnthr]

About 450km max per tank in my old 95 Legacy GT

Doing practically 10L/100km in the Version 10 with a variety of driving conditions and occasional air con

I've been keeping track of this for curiosities sake so I have a whole lot of data regarding fuel consumption on my 2001 GTB.

I've been a little slack recording what sort of driving I was doing before each fill though but if you're really interested in seeing hard numbers, I can post up the stats for all my fills since November-ish and a brief indication of the type of driving before that fill.

In the meantime, the overall average is 10.8 litres per 100km over the last 10,000kms. That includes driving from Auckland to ChCh and back once, Auckland to Wanganui/Bulls/Marton and back 2-3 times and driving to work and back (Ellerslie into the City) 5 days a week.

Highest reading was 14.7L/100km and the lowest was 8.9 (wasn't a great distance though as it was only 11 litres).

As an anecdote, I went from ChCh to Levin on one tank in mid Jan. I was running late for the ferry so I caned it all the way from the middle of ChCh to Picton and it averaged 9.9L/100km. I was super impressed as I was driving it like I'd stolen it! The rest of the trip back to Auckland (including a stop in Wanganui) averaged 9.3L/100km.

On the road, I figure I'm doing well if every segment on the gas gauge (i.e. 1/6th of a tank) takes me 100km. Around town it tends to be less, on the open road it can be 130-150km particularly for that first segment

BTW: I always run it on BP Ultimate or Mobil Synergy 8000 and aircon would be on 50-60% of the time (more in town then on the open road unless it is a hot sunny day

Hope this answers your question.

The average shown on the '05 GTB is 8.6l/100km. That is mostly around town. The lowest I have ever seen it is about 7.8l/100km. It will be slightly skewed by the 1500 odd kms we did at Christmas on the open road. I'm not sure the exact size of the tank in the coupe (40-50 litres?), but I am lucky to get 400km out of a full one.

[ReubenH]

Dunno, haven't seen a full fuel gauge in over a year.

I did work out i use 12.5L/100K though. Not bad for how i drive ;D

[off2harrys]

duno what size a v2 tank has (50l? maybe) but on 98 the most of ever got is 320km with no revs over 3000 its auto though

[Guest keltik]

600-650km from 50liters doing all open road driving

400-500km around town

3000cc 6 banger non turbo GT wagon

Air con on full auto

5speed manual

[Guest]

I get 350-400 around town on 98

[funkytown]

types of cars people.. .some are GTs' some GTB or B4, wrx and sti are all different types of hungry..

[GC8E2DD]

True, but some combinations seem far hungrier than others. We had an auto bg tt like the one in arsenal's sig a a few years ago, and found it to be especially thirsty around town. I used to hold ours in third to stop it yoyo'ing between third and fifth in traffic. I reckon that saved a noticeable amount of gas.

450-500km on tank 95

480-580km on tank 98

depended on if i use aircon or not as well and how many log trucks i get stuck behind on the way to work. ;D

in my 97 STI

[mazdahard]

i get around 450-550ks depending how i drive car is 97 rsb

oh yer totaly.. its just meaningless with out knowing what car they drive, what octane and what type of driving and aircon used or not.. also manual or auto

just trying to make it constructive

[G-unit]

just over 400ks from full,usual town and open road driving

[spark_38]

BP98 in a 1998 type-r wrx sti

Standard ECU 450-500km

Link ECU running a lil rich 350-400km

Tank is about 50L... although i put in 52L the other day

[Guest]

I got 82km the other day.......

around Ruapuna though, otherwise I don't know, only clocked up 800k on my new car.

[Johnnynz]

About 450 give or take with a mix of open and town driving, mainly open on that tank though.

Not sure on tank size, I think it seems to be 45lt.

Thats on a 98 WRX, no real feuling mods.

[Munkvy]

I get 450km to a tank open road driving in my BG5 GTB. Thats about 45-50L of 98. Round town Im lucky to see 350.

But Im pretty sure that the BG5 is the least fuel economic of all the Legacy range, as my other Legacy (BC5) uses less and is actually modified unlike the daily and Ive seen quite a few people with BHs quoting figures in the 9L/100km range, which the BG5 never seems to manage....

[albaru]

Never enough

[ReubenH]

Ok then, BG5 GTB, Manual, Single turbo converted using V3 STi parts and ECU. Use ONLY 98.

Get about 12L to 13L per 100K, while driving with no regard for fuel economy whatsoever. So i'm guessing with a 60L tank, that's around 500-450KM's per tank. Mix of suburb and highway driving.
