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.

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.
