Manual calculation works out to be 14.6l/100km.BTW I have just started running PULP all the time so It will be interesting to see the results. One owner I know has experienced 10% better fuel economy on PULP in a Merc and is hoping for same results in the Turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 8m 21d Gender: Male Posted 24/04/03 07:16 AM Share Posted 24/04/03 07:16 AM My old VN Calais had the instant fuel read out and average fuel read out on the computer readout. I found that if I wanted to test the fuel consumption when I drove it normally then I had to clear all the figures on the inboard computer and start from scatch in order to do the economy test accurately. With out doing this you cant really see how economical the car really can be when driving normally. I'm sure the BA allows you to clear the old data on the trip/economy meter.

Guest Guests Posted 24/04/03 07:35 AM Share Posted 24/04/03 07:35 AM Mine has done 4.5 k and I cant get under 17. Ive left it in drive, put an egg shell on the go pedal, didnt squash it, and still cant get better economy and that's on pulp shell (no optimax in SA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aniken I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it Donating Members 4,316 Member For: 22y 1d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, south west Posted 24/04/03 10:25 AM Share Posted 24/04/03 10:25 AM Just under 3,500 on the clock, and fuel economy now hovering around 14.6-14.8L/100km. Have not reset the calculator since I picked up the car. Run it almost exclusively on Optimax, and needs a few freeway runs now and again to get it to stay around 14.6.

Using fuel and going nowhere really stuffs your average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my driving is highway stuff - my average speed is usually about 55km/h from the trip comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose this and the gact it has less than 500km on it would contribute to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
