byi Donating Members 159 Member For: 19y 1m 14d Posted 06/10/06 12:47 AM Author Share Posted 06/10/06 12:47 AM get a custom tune and ask for an economy tune. it works really well. also check your spark plugs, mine were gone and after being replaced im getting 300+kms from spirited driving←The only problem is in Brisbane we are very short on reliable tuners, and I would not dream of leaving my car with the “kids” at fist or due to the poor workmanship and etiquette revived at bob romano. Plus when tuners do visit from interstate they are usually gone within several days and don’t return for months on end, no easy possibility of a re-map if something where to go astray.

Only use it as a very rough guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melbourne to Sydney I make it past Goulbourn averaging 120km/h -> 9l/100km and in the very worst city driving I get 17-18l/100.Hmm not impressed Jan.

Modified or rather tuned properly and given the same driving ie cruise or non-WOT, they'll be far more fuel economical.And the only accurate way to measure fuel usage is 'litres in' vs 'kms travelled', which few have posted here.

Off boost, cruising, 6spd, VVT 6 cyl should be getting excellent economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyXR6Turbo Member 4 Member For: 18y 18d Posted 08/10/06 08:19 AM Share Posted 08/10/06 08:19 AM My stock BA Mk1 auto XR6T in City peak hour driving, combined with some squirting around the place gets about 14-15L/100km. I will see 400kms out of a tank from it as a minimum.The highway it is pretty average, about 10-11L/100km... gets 500kms or so from the tank.. having a 4 speed auto and the 3.45 diff doesn't really help a great deal on the highway. But I would expect when I start modding it, it will be better on the juice... it runs fairly rich when its been dynoed which isn't suprising at all.
