Fuel Consumption (merged topic)

[Mark Turbo]

Will take your advice (pointless asking if you don't)

 

The guys at Mag & turbo reckoned it was normal consumption though ?, I really need to hook it up to a machine somewhere to check all that out.

 

As much as anythings its going to be fun tinkering and BTW its my wife that does 19 around town I think I would be at about 18

I can get really good economy if I'm chilling on the highway or if I keep the revs below 2000 (hard to do). car put out 360kw on a dyno last year.

 

I just kinda enjoy standing at the bowser filling my car up cause of all the fun I had.

 

our resident hoon, @-Stever- came up with a brilliant mathematical formula - fuel goes in, fun comes out.

 

I don't know about that power gain, you might want bigger injectors to keep things safe

I think you might be more of a hoon than me lol, but it makes sense

Torque pro or Forscan and a Bluetooth obd2 dongle from eBay and you can scan it yourself. 

If you've got an android phone already you're only looking at $30 tops. 

 

That is sh*t economy at best.

I reckon my modded BF has better economy than my old mostly stock ba.

 

personal anaecdote > hard evidence

It would cause your fuel map and boost map are optimized for performance which usually means better efficiency.

whats fuel economy? :S

I am averaging around 26-27L/100km on E85. Wouldn't want to doing 1000km a week  

[ROB83R]

You would 1000km quicker than one week with that power level.

The "flash drive"  (am tipping an Xcal) also has an option to read error codes

 

Plug it in and run the diagnostics - see what it says.

Bit of a Big bump but was wondering if this is correct. My Wifes  BA XRT is getting about 19/100 around town and about 12.5 on the open road

I have an FG and you seem to have a BA. I am assuming you have the stock tune in it. I have a custom tune and this is my latest fuel consumption info from Fuel Log.

 

  

 

 

 

Worse fuel consumption was for the tune. Not that I was driving like that on the roads.

 

My normal city driving is between 12-16l/100km.

You must have a lead foot like John and Steve.

 

those two entries for 9.6 and 10.95 was about freeway/highway driving down south.

Am curious as to how many ks any one with 2003 ba xr6 turbo  usually gets out of a tank , when I fill its says about 400 not sure if that's right or just faulty
