tquarrell Member 181 Member For: 20y 5m 28d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 05/01/08 12:33 AM Share Posted 05/01/08 12:33 AM I average about 12.5l/100 with 60km/h average speed, mine's got 299rwkw on 14psi with siemens injectors/stock exhaust (not that efficient).Has anyone else noticed these thing use heaps of fuel when they're cold? My DTE figure drops like 20/30km 2-3 mins after starting. Also, maybe it's just my tune, but does anyone elses car rev to 1,250 when started and gradually settle back to about 900 when it's warm? I can't drive the thing until it idles below 1,000rpm as you have to push the brakes real hard to stop it moving. Startup is what really effects (inflates) my fuel consumption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its just so the engine gets up to temp a bit quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Pat did you buy the $1400 kit from Rapid? And is it a good idea to run it without a tune? Won't it be lean as.

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 complainI agree. I have just completed over 3000ks with three people, 2 suitcases and assorted xmas presents. Average fuel used ( 75% highway)8.8l/100km not bad for a 350rwkw F6. More than a few squirts included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total km, 467 kmFuel used, 50.29 litres = 10.77 litres per 100km.BA MK II 6 Speed Manual.Just got back from Nelson bay last night called into the Nats in Canberra I travelled 2654kms and the average fuel economy was 10.22 lts per 100kms.My first fuel stop last friday when I left from Cranbourne was Yass and I traveled 665 kms and had 8 lts left in the tank so I reckon I would get about 740kms per tank.I have a 6 speed man ute with 330 rwkw bigger injectors, cooler and exhaust.My original economy from the factory was 13.6 lts per 100kms before mods.Around town im getting 500kms max out of a tank 70 lts at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
