Fuel Consumption (merged topic)

[Cro]

My old car used to sit around 20l per 100kms. But I always had my foot down to the floor.

On the Highway I would get about 12l per 100.

In the new one I haven't reset the metre since I picked up the car and I'm averaging 14L per 100kms including a track day.

80% highway driving though.

Maniac - take it to your dealer, you might find that getting the ECU reflashed with the newest software fixes the problem. Then again it might not, worth a try though because your T is definatley to thirsty.

I'm getting around 17L/100 but m giving it a fair crack at every opportunity.

I do about 75 to 80% highway driving, but get 500-550Km per tank.

Yours fuel consumption really seems excessive.

Either take the car to your dealer or, if that doesn't work, have the car chipped. A chip and a good tuner will be able to get the A/F ratio to a good level.

Good luck.

I tow a trailer a couple of times a week and I get pretty much deadon 400klm out of a tank which is 50/50 highway/city and I cant get any more than 62 litres in it with "down to empty" display saying 0 klms left ????

I know what you mean, mines drinking around 19 to 20L/100K, but its only done 1000K's, and running on BP Ultimate. Hopefully it improves after the 1500K otherwise its going to the doctor.

Hopefully you work it out

Hmm that's rather high, I reckon around 19 would be normal for constant city driving but for a mix of both city and highway I reckon you should be getting way more.

I reckon about 14 - 15 would be fair with a fair floggin at the same time.

[Guest Maniac]

Exactly what you said XRBloke.

If I give it a thrashing of its life, It would hit comfortably on 23L and stay there until I do more highway driving.

that's not normal considering on the same flogging when the car was new, it was on a constant 13L

[twinxrs]

The thermostat on my T was stuck open, resulting in high fuel useage...

How long does the car take to warm up in the morning ? If the temp. needle takes too long to get to the "normal" range, then this is a possibility...

Good luck !

mines sitting on 15.4 at the moment, its as hot as buggery here at the moment and I have been using the aircon lots, mostly city driving and always spiritedly.
