Yeah I'm actually surprised, I give it a hard time every time I get a chance.

I'm spewing because mines using more after the tune; it's gone from 9L/100km to 10L/100km on the freeway. City it's using 12-14L/100km. I'm hoping to get it back down to 9L/100km on the freeway.

Worst I've had is about 16L/100km in gridlock, when car was new.

Anybody had an edit + new injectors found their trip meter fuel reading is no longer reliable?

My F6 Tornado gets 20l/100 according to the trip computer. I usually get 400km's to the tank before the fuel light comes on.

Mostly start stop / City driving, very rarely highway driving.

Only mods are Cat and K&N.

You got some issues there. I dont even come close to that on the track!

I think you are taking it a little easy on the track !

I used to own an Aussie spec Nissan GTR and I would do about 45 litres for 75 km during track days racing around Wakefield. That's 60 l/100 !! ... my pb was 108.3 sec ...

My XR6T has been doing around 20l/100 on the tune that ran the 10.8 but I am having a little bit too much fun with the right foot and the rears are wearing out quicker that expected! (It is running a little bit on the rich side for safety to run the number!)

Cruising on the highway with the current tune, I get about 500ks on about 55 litres. That is with the current stally, running 95/98/100 whatever I can get in the tank. I think that's pretty good for a 10sec car.

I guess the BCM works out l/100 by the injector duty cycle. It would be a programmed value based on the flow rate of the standard injectors. So I guess if you change to higher flow injectors it would not be an accurate reading.

My long term Ave is 13.5 but a tank fill check the other day was less at 12.8 with occasional squirts. The ZF seems to lower the instantaneous read out when cruising at 60 to 80kph quite noticeably (7.2 to 7.8) compared to my standard 4sp BA turbo.

Long term consumption appears to be the same with my driving style and commute
