Being a bit more sedate these days. Running prem 95 & 98 also...Now looking at an oil change this wkend to rid the metals filings that could cause some scouring or damage within the lightning bores of power...Ubeautee!

BFYOOT Member 11 Member For: 16y 8m 3d Posted 11/07/08 06:56 AM Share Posted 11/07/08 06:56 AM buy a ute, bigger fuel tank means you get more k's, therefore makes you feel better. that's my backward thinking anyway......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI! Member 1,742 Member For: 16y 5m Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted 11/07/08 08:20 AM Share Posted 11/07/08 08:20 AM I've done about 1500kms in mine mostly highway driving in the Territory to run it in.When sitting on 140km/hr over 500kms I returned an average of 12.3l/100kms.There was quite a few bursts to 180km/hr to overtake the grey nomads on the road this time of year, but nothing too drastic.Mine's manual and all overtaking work was done in fifth upshifting to sixth once past traffic and decelarating back to the 140km/hr cruise control setting.Then cruising at 110km/hr I noticed it would only ever get above 10l/100kms every once in a while, but mostly high eights/low nines.All in all I think the fuel consumption is great for an engine with this much power and a car with that much weight.

BLU06T Member 30 Member For: 16y 8m 13d Gender: Male Posted 15/07/08 09:28 AM Share Posted 15/07/08 09:28 AM My T has done just a little over 1300km and so far it is averaging about 12.6L/ 100kms. The driving has been a combination of local and highway driving. My BA T used to average about the mid to high 14's for similar driving. So with a saving of about 2L/ 100kms I am quite happy with the result so far. Hopefully it will improve further as it loosens up a bit more.
