I average 14L / 100k's in the city, bumper to bumper sh*tty Melbourne traffic.

Edit and drilled injectors.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Fark, 14l/100k's - I dont have an edit and I get 20+.

By my math, a $1000 edit would pay for itself in about 50 weeks.

I gotta do it, now where to find a grand, what can I sell........... :sleepystuff:

Hi Bryce, I average between 9.8 and 10.5 on the hiway, and about 15 around town.

my town driving has some 80k driving, and if I did not have that it would look real bad.

but I do find it depends how I drive around town, and also how many 80 k runs you do, (or if it is all stop start trafic, and then the odd sink the boot in, it can blow out a fair bit.

when I come down I will check the afr, at idle, cruise, and normal trafic driving, if they show up ok, it will just be the wieght of the car, + the odd strap, now you have a bit of power, can drink at a fair rate.

The best I can get is just over 500kms around town and the worst I got was about 390kms, 650kms on a long trip, that's after modifications.

If you can drive it easer, you should be getting better fuel economy, because you have more power! :sick:

Average fuel economies when my Ute was stock- 470kms, modified- 490kms and I still give it a bit.

It must be the tune, the usage at the wost should be 17-18L/100, and you still have standard injectors.

Try a tune from someone Who nose their stuff, forget Ford, this would be the best way to check, compare from other people’s comments and fuel consumption.

:fool:

I have been averaging about 240km's city driving on a full tank after custom tune, injectors, full exhaust and 2nd CAI.

What is the norm after this level of tuning?

I have worked my turbo out to be an average of 13lt per 100km's.

Got 15lt though out of the last tank full with flogging it around everywhere!
