Avg Fuel Consumption question

Righto update time

i managed to get 348km out of the tank in the end, Filled it up tonight

$78.32 to fill

46.64L

Tried to reset computer but throw code 43 (??) so will investigate this

Reset anyway, check if the codes there in a weeks time. Could be an old code (dunno how long they last though)

And 13.4L/100K that's not THAT bad, i get that when driving with total and purposeful disregard for fuel economy... Were you driving economically, or with a lead foot? If that's the lead foot figure, nothing to worry bout. The best i've seen the GTB get was 12.5L/100K btw.

was driving economy - was using feather like accelerator control ensure that the i got the most out of it, first time i got the car was lead footed and only got around 260km lol

for some reason i used to get really good km out of using 91 on my 91 wagon - manual - no mods except a pod blow off and legnum vr4 muffler

easily in the 500's per tank ..

my mate has recently got a v5 wrx and doed 550 per tank of normal driving... bloody good i must say!!!

My '01 GTB gets 10 litres per 100km. I have measured every tank since purchased- over 30 000 kms. The best was 9, the worst 11, but on average 10.05l/100km. This is on 95. When I run 98 it uses 10.8 on average. So for me it doesn't make sense to pay more per litre and then have 10% decreased efficiency as well. Therefore I buy 95. Is this not the same for you as well?

My WRX would get on average 350km, My RSB gets between 450-475km. Mix of highway/city driving, I get the secondary boosting most days too.

i just did 600k in the legacy, cost around $110 of 96/98 fuel, last 70 k of the trip doing a sprint to get a guys bag to the airport in time

[cliffdunedin]

At the end of last week, both my cars were due a fill so insted i stuck 10 litres in each to see what mileage i would get in my 92 NA wagon i got 97kms before light came on with 91 and in my WRX got 93kms(not boosting much) using 95...

It seems i'm getting less mileage then most, which dunedin hill could contribute to that!

Though my wagon getting that kind of economy is alarming esp when i only still have it as a run around and "supposedly" to save me some $$ :
