Hows your Fuel Consumption?

[Stodart]

Maybe lm a bit anal but aways monitoring fuel consumption by zeroing trip meter when/always filling up

Its also a good guide to seeing problems starting to develop in fuel / ignition systems before and if fault codes come up .

01 BH5 Outback 2.5 sohc manual with 225,000km 8.5 - 10 litres / 100km. (28-33mpg) on 91

around 500/600km per tank

have used 96 as well and theres NO noticable difference in economy performance. No detonation on 91. oil consumptiom 1litre/3000km

the fuel gauge has 6 segments between full and empty usually get 100km per segment on average (9L/100km) 30 mpg. on longer journeys 10km more , shorter journeys 10km less ie a 10% variation on average

most of the driving is semi rural to country running so thats why figures are probably better than average

On 3 to 4.5 hour trips it will do 8.5 L/100km (33mpg) if cruise at 3000rpm. but its amazing watch that plummet once in urban driving to 10.5L/100km + (27mpg-)

86 leone GL 1800 wagon part time 4WD man ea82 8 to 9L / 100km 30-35mpg this was only 1050kg compared to Outbacks 1500kg

87 Brumby 1800 ea81 average around 9L/100km (30mpg) 950kg, motor tired. ie oil 1litre/1000km but still runs ok no extra noises a project in waiting

I filled up the other day (with 28c off AA Smart fuel ;D ) so far have done 65ks and the needle has just hit the full marker on the scale haha

when the o2 sensor was faulting i was luck to get 200kms out of a tank now that i replaced the sensor i\'ve filled up and i\'m still on the same tank and have got 547kms so far but i have been taking it easy might get 580 before i fill up again.

I\'m using v power 95 at the mo as i had a 20cent voucher.

i\'ll never put force 10 in again as it blew my o2 sensor and i\'ve had a surging issue ever since.

Ive herd a couple people say it hasn\'t done nice things to their cars.

Has it got more than the recommended 10% ethanol or something?

i actually have know idea but my car was tuned for 95 so i\'m thinking that was the issue for me.

Don\'t know why i\'m still having on going issues tho, mates have said its all in my head.

I get almost 400k to a tank of just town driving. Been meaning to see how 95 goes, but never make it into a Z station.

V7 Sti RA - I average about 450kms out of my tank city driving, sitting in traffic.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

V7 sti wagon, pre tune 350 km around town, 450-500 open road

Post tune 450 ish around town with a heavy boot, 600 driving like a nana open road, with a full boot and 3 passengers

I don\'t even keep track of my WRX. Heres my auto bg5 which I daily http://www.fuelly.com/driver/evljat/legacy

It\'s getting worse each tank, I think it\'s because of the cold weather.
