Fuel Consumption (merged topic)

[cobrav8]

Has your wife been driving the car? Maybe she has been doing burnouts?

Seriously though - have you been in a bit more stop/start traffic, or over hills? I tend to find that the DTE changes a bit more in these situations - particularly if just after resetting after filling up.

I normally get 450ish from a tank in travel to work (average speed on computer is about 50kph) on highway with stop/start and 100kph driving. It makes very little difference between flogging the car from lights etc than being a nanny, bigger difference if you are stop/starting more often.

My litres /100k is normally between 12.5 and 13.

I found an extra 20km in the tank the other night after 0DTE - what is the longest people have driven showing 0?

LOL! My wife came home one night and told me that she had driven 20kms past the 0DTE! I babied it across to the servo and stuck 62.5 litres in. So there was still 5.5 litres (theoretically) in the tank. But I have no idea how the fuel pick up is situated or how much of that is useable.

I have never run it below 40k dte. That was only because I was late for work normally fill up before it hits 80k dte.

Do you deliver pizzas in the Sydney CBD?

Forget what the DTE says it will adjust to suit your current driving style. See how far you actually get on the tank before you start to worry.

If anything a second cold air intake will make it drink more. More air, more juice! Doesnt matter what car you have that will never change.
