MBAF Bronze Donating Members 2,156 Member For: 8y 10m 3d Posted 27/02/19 11:25 AM Share Posted 27/02/19 11:25 AM Falcon and fuel economy don’t really go hand in hand. Add e85 to the mix and it only gets worse, but your consumption is somewhat normal 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/156/#findComment-1676865 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Gold Donating Members 16,348 Member For: 10y 4m 19d Gender: Not Telling Posted 27/02/19 11:47 AM Share Posted 27/02/19 11:47 AM Fuel economy is an integral part of making power. You want everything to be as efficient as possible which will return the best fuel economy. This doesn't mean that you get great L/100km in a high powered vehicle. To get an idea of how much fuel a 500+rwkw falcon uses on ethanol... Roughly calculated, 6x1000cc injectors are pumping about 6 litres per minute flat out. You aren't at 100%injdc all the time but you will still use about a cup of fuel every time you do a 5 second wot pull. 0 to 100kph at wot=1 cup. Overtake like a mofo=1/2 cup. Drive half throttle to 110=???, etc etc. You've only got about 250 cups of fuel in a tank. They disappear very quickly with high power and e85. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/156/#findComment-1676870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
