Posted 08/12/04 06:06 AM Share Posted 08/12/04 06:06 AM Gold coast to sydney and back on the weekend average 10.2 km's to the litre which is roughly 29 mpg not bad when you consider this is with driving though newcastle and sydney traffic and all so when overtaking I usally use all 269 rwkw's.Ian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/21/#findComment-195629 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hey, has any one seen a Vixen (Red) Typhoon?? And you know the writing on the side, is it still Red And how good does it look and would you change the color and what to? And can any one get a picture of a red one ?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>im guessing that the writing would be black on the typhoon. same as the "turbo" writing underneath the xr6 badge on the back of a normal T Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/21/#findComment-195642 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am averaging around 18l/100km around town and about 12l/100km highway. Does this sound about right considering only 2200 kms on the clock?

Jaymz Member 190 Member For: 21y 4m 23d Location: Noosa Posted 09/12/04 06:32 AM Share Posted 09/12/04 06:32 AM (edited) Welcome to the site DanThose figures sound average, gotta remember that you didn't buy it to save on petrol you bought it for the power. I am sure you can reduce the consumption if you let ya granny drive it, but you are better off driving it like you stole it and enjoying the feel. As the engine gets a few more ks on it it will level out. Don't go by the read out on the dash, calulate your own figures to be sure what consumption you are really getting. By the way show us some pics of your car, or at the very least give us some specs.

You are right I bought it for the ponies but good fuel consumption would be a bonus.
