Open Road Fuel Consumption on my BP GT

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I just upgraded from a BH GTB to a BP GT. I have just come back from a trip to Mt Ruapehu and I measured my fuel economy on the open road. Here's what I got from my trip.

Car - 2007 BP GT. Auto. Stock standard.

1. Auckland to Ohakune + 2 trips up and down the Mountain Road to Turoa - 8.44L / 100km

2. Ohakune to Auckland - 6.84L / 100km

The extra fuel burn in the first drive is obviously due to driving up the Mountain Road - A 19km trip up a mountain x2. Is this inline with what other BP/BL owners are getting on the open road? My old BH GTB would get around 7.5L/100km on the same trip.

7.5l/100km! that must be from fuel evaporation whilst its being towed!

:D

The best mine has ever got is 10.0l/100, which was a trip to Hanmer and back with very little traffic, its averaging 12.0.

No idea what a BP would do, hopefully better than a BH!:P

I'd place a bet OP reset the counter while moving & that's a min reading

start up & keep track with www.fuelly.com or something similar & I bet you'll get a different number tank to tank logging

I most definitely didn't reset my counter whilst moving. I'm pretty strict with recording my fuel economy. I've been doing it for the last 7 years - Back when I got my BH. So I know to to record the figures.

In my BH GTB, I would average 10(ish)l/100km with mixed driving around Auckland. And about 7.5l/100km for open road driving (Mostly to Mt Ruapehu from Auck)

I was curious to see how my newly acquired BP would compare. Seems to be somewhat similar, but would need to do more recordings to give a better picture.

Yes, I am reasonably light-footed when I drive :)

Aaaaaye, even in my v5 STi RA I get probably 8-8.5L / 100KM on a long haul.

      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
