Joel85 Inactive Members 1 Member For: 13y 2m 13d Posted 05/04/12 06:24 AM Share Posted 05/04/12 06:24 AM I have an '05 xr6t with 65,000 on it. Fuel consumption is about 13.5 - 14.5l/100km around town and gets down to about 10.2 on the h'way. It doesn't like any fuel other than BP Ultimate 98, is there something wrong with it??? Also, with a full tank I can't use any boost because it just feels like it's going to die until it gets down to about 3/4 of a tank then it goes back to normal. Any suggestions on why this might be?

The full tank issue never had that I know they have issues when the fuel gets down under a 1/4. Mine had best economy on Caltex but the car ran better on ultimate.

Pretty good if you ask me, average of 39km/h Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/124/#findComment-1219316 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive around western sydney for work and dont use highways much, although I was watching the instant economy on a trip up the hume from mittagong late at night and it was 3.8 if I remember right at 110kays on cruise.

Don't no why! Must be a darn rich tune. On the hw I do 10.0L per 100klm. and if I flog it around town boy!!!! 26L per 100klms. These ain't instant numbers these are numbers after half a tank has been used.
