Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 5m 9d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 24/02/11 02:33 AM Share Posted 24/02/11 02:33 AM Hi,Picked up my XR50T in November and since the beginning of December I have been using an iPhone app called GasCubby to track my fuel usage and servicing.So far round town I average anywhere from 14.2 to 15.5 (even clocked up the occasional 16L/100 just before Christmas where I never touched a freeway and got stuck numerous times in some very heavy Pre Christmas traffic).Normally around town equated to driving to work which is around 10 minutes (no freeway), driving around Melbourne with the occasional freeway run.Will watch with interest to see if my fuel usage changes at all now that I have fitted an XR8 air box and snorkel,I think mine has got worse with the V8 snork and box - still to confirm. Have spoken to my tuner about it who tuned it with the OEM air box and he thinks it should'nt make a difference. However, I use a car bra on trips which blocks the flow a bit so who knows. It will be going in soon for cooler swap and retune so will check AFR's etc then. Keen to see your results. Best ever was 8.3 but that was feathering the throttle and getting sucked along by a truck for a bit! I normally get around 9.5ish on a run (bra on) with a few sharp WOT runs (mainly passing HSV's - he he) thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 3m Gender: Not Telling Posted 22/03/11 01:08 PM Share Posted 22/03/11 01:08 PM Averaging 11.9 litres to the 100klms, ave speed 44kmh 2007 mk2 manual. Stock but a fitted a KN and did an airbox mod using the top section of a 5 litre SS airbox. Cut a circular hole in front airbox with a nice tight fit then cut to length so it would only pick cold air running from behind headlight. Far greater intake area than F6 snorkel and you would never know its there.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
