Sounds about right if it is. They are very thirsty in slow moving traffic. You will get up to 600km from a full tamk on the open road.

I'm averaging 12.4 litres/100 km's around town but do manage to avoid peak hour traffic most of the time.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 4m 7d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 03/07/07 02:12 AM Share Posted 03/07/07 02:12 AM That is my normal fuel economy 18-20lt/100km, so I am used to getting that sort of distance from both of my Turbo Fords.It is all how you drive and when. My trip to work is only 5 mins in traffic, so it is just up to operating temp when I get to work. This increases the fuel consumption as it is always on a cold cycle.GEtting a custom Edit tue would reduce the consumption.

I know some people who fill up when their fuel guage is at 1/4 and they say "full tank" - well it isn't is it?Have you done accurate fuel usage calculations? - from the bowser and your odometer - not your car's DTE or average economy readout. What economy l/100km does it actually get? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/36324-poor-economy/#findComment-551168 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 19y 3m Posted 03/07/07 03:30 AM Share Posted 03/07/07 03:30 AM Might help if you guys can post your average speed that your car displays and the kms you are getting out of a tank. Not all city driving is the sameaverage speed for me is 31km and I am seeing about 380km out of a tank at the most, most times 340km Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/36324-poor-economy/#findComment-551185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
