I just cannot help winding up that turbo at every set of lights. :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/20/#findComment-192389 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a problem with my right foot. Just thought I would drive a bit more conservative the other day and was pleased with the result. Didnt drive like a nana but didnt boot it at every oppurtunity like I normally do.

YOOT Member 1,201 Member For: 22y 1d Location: Birkdale Posted 01/12/04 09:17 AM Share Posted 01/12/04 09:17 AM CUt a gaping big hole in the front of your airbox and stick an XR8 norkle in there, you'll see the numbers drop to 11s or 12s. If you shift before 2000rpm and use the 4.0 torque you'll use even less, but take ages to get to where your going LOL! :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/20/#findComment-192963 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally get around 260km per tank of Mobil 8000. All city driving. And hard.Although lately I reckon Its closer to 230. Pretty big drop off a week or two ago. Coming due for its 30k service so maybe that will improve things a little.Thankfully I dont pay any extra if I use lots of fuel! One thing I have noticed since new is the excellent highway economy if you want it to. I often see 8l/100km when driving sedately. (Which isnt exactly very often...)

But a lot of people on here have said they can travel quite a distance with the Distance To Empty reading 0, so I'd probably be able to do more before I actually ran out of petrol.
