Pube Member 159 Member For: 17y 8m 18d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 19/12/07 12:19 PM Share Posted 19/12/07 12:19 PM In my BF 'T' ZF auto im consistantly getting around 11L/100km while using 3/4 of the tank for highway driving and the rest booting it around the local streets. Im currently on 10.8L/100km and have just installed the 2nd snorkle and K&N filter so it will be interesting to see any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooltint Member 686 Member For: 21y 9m 12d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast QLD Posted 01/01/08 12:15 PM Share Posted 01/01/08 12:15 PM I did a trip from the Gold Coast to Yamba over the Xmas break, round trip including aprox 40km of around town and spirited driving netted an average of 10.8 L/100km. Got back home and still had 1/4 tank left (DTE showed 120km remaining). Total distance approx 450km. I usually average around 14-14.5 around town with the odd squirt.Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil F6 Donating Members 830 Member For: 19y 22d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 01/01/08 10:41 PM Share Posted 01/01/08 10:41 PM I drove from Melbourne to Sydney the other day and filled up at Benalla and made it to Mt Colah on the far north of Sydney and still had 8l in the tank. Car averaged 8.6l/100km and was loaded up with luggage and 2 people and a dog, had AC on for about 35% of the trip and sat on 120 all the way. Not bad for an F6 with 352rwkW. Can't complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
