Massive difference between highway cruising and urban/spirited driving.Not sure how long the average speed on the FGs is measured over but mine is sitting at 41 km/h and can't recall the last time it was reset.

Each time you fill up just whack in the odometer reading, litres and cost.Probably best not to look at the accumulated costs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually got 450 out of my last full tank which I filled up right before the WA cruise, where I gave it a fair bit (but also a lot of 90km/h+ driving)Yet to get more than 450 from a tank.

Gasman Ford Nub Member 412 Member For: 13y 8m 9d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 06/03/12 07:11 AM Share Posted 06/03/12 07:11 AM Since I have replaced my engine (same tune and injectors etc) My consumption has risen. Now lucky to get 400ks per 3/4 tank(never let it lower) ,was getting closer to 480ks before. Old engine consumpion got to 11.7lt and now sits at 12.2lt. Even my av speed has dropped to 48ks from 52ks. Looking at the instant economy my T (6 manual) seems to use less fuel at 105kph than at 100kph, could be somthing to do with momentum on hills? I have found that only letting the engine rev out to 2000rpm (boring) sees the best economy. I tried letting it out to 2500rpm and the difference was close to a loss of 40kms on the first quarter tank and from memory only ended up getting 380ks out of that 3/4 tank.

broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 2m 3d Gender: Male Posted 06/03/12 09:17 AM Share Posted 06/03/12 09:17 AM (edited) I got home from Gin Gin to Townsville about an hour and a half ago. just gave her a wash. my average comsumption was 8.8L/100klm. im pretty happy with that to be honest. however that was all cruising and maybe 20-25 overtakes. it cost me $100 to get to Townsville and it was on half when I get back. so technically it was $150 if you count the $50 I threw in once I got home. all BP Ultimate with one top up of V Power at Mackay. ive yet to use much around town so im sure im in for a surprise.

playdoh New Member 11 Member For: 12y 11m 4d Posted 15/03/12 12:36 PM Share Posted 15/03/12 12:36 PM These are real world numbers. normal everyday stuff. Not some easy runs up the freeway to claim super low numbers. Funnily Ford quote 17.2L/100km urban to 8.5L/100km extra rural, combined 11.7L/100km. Cheers playdoh. These are similar to the numbers I get, my usage is around 15L/100km(average speed around 32kph) on tank fill litres used against km done. My driving in pretty much all short stop trips(max distance would be 15km) in 50-70kph zones with the odd couple km on the freeway. I also get the turbo on boost when I get a chance, off the lights/freeway on ramp.These cars have awesome economy given the power and how quick they are. If I wanted an economical car I would buy a turbo diesel but it wouldn't be nearly as much fun.Actually, I sold a Turbo Diesel (D4D) Prado and bought myself a Patrol and my missus the XR6T, the XR6T is actually better on the highway that the Prado was. Around town is different ofcourse, but was about as fun as cancer to drive compared to the Falcon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDXR6T Member 4 Member For: 12y 9m 18d Posted 18/03/12 02:41 AM Share Posted 18/03/12 02:41 AM I bought my XR6T ute 2nd hand and my sister (with her UNtimid right foot) drove it home to me from Adelaide. (Approx 400km) The average was 9.3 to the 100, and fuel usage of 36ltr of fuel...my ute has 65,000ks on it, is an auto and is still stock and sis said she had a ball passing 3 semi's at a time on the way home....Impressed in its economy...yes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
