Mals BA XR6T Member 381 Member For: 22y 1m 24d Location: Sydney Posted 13/05/03 12:04 AM Share Posted 13/05/03 12:04 AM Can anyone comment on this... I actually meant to raise this some time agoAnywayAt idle the ltrs/hour was 1.0 (no accessories on (including AC), and in Neutral) after about 30 seconds of idle. This was before the 3000km check, now I'm using around 1.6 to 2ltrs/hour?? I have 12,000kms on the clock.Can you guys check, what are you reading, and what could have happened here... general driving fuel consumption has decreased slightly, but idle has increased?

Could be a heavier oil in the donk now making it harder to push around. Could also be a recallibration done on it which may change a few things. Wanna see something scarey? watch it when it first starts in the morning and see what its drinking then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like the idea of it being in there that long, but the oil topic has been talked about in some depth before.I'm thinking a re-turn was done at the first service?? but I was curious what others have from a warm car at idle?

Haven't noticed the idle fuel economy change in that time. Usually idles at 1.8L/hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELXR6 Member 13 Member For: 22y 1m Posted 15/05/03 02:10 AM Share Posted 15/05/03 02:10 AM Quick question fellas....probably a dumb one but anyway.....What are you actually referring to by Ltrs / Hr ? And where are you getting this data from ?I thought the trip computer only indicated Ltrs/100 km (average and instantaneous), same as my good 'ole XR6. Soon to be replaced by a BA XR8 with any luck, or maybe an XR6T.... decisions, decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
