Posted 30/12/04 10:33 AM Share Posted 30/12/04 10:33 AM Drove the F6 from Brisbane to Coffs Harbour and back over Xmas and averaged 11.9ltrs/100km. Double points/double $$ Xmas peiod always gets better mileage!!Best out of a tank is 460km with a mix of highway and city. Don''t trust the 0 Km to go - my last XR6T ran out of gas at 43km to go so drive by the gauge, not the computer display!!

L/100klm.I'm happy with that. Same, not bad considering most of my driving is in melb traffic with very little highway work.

Guest pasturbo Guests Posted 30/12/04 07:25 PM Share Posted 30/12/04 07:25 PM Took a trip to Melbourne and back with 1500 ks on the clock at the start of the trip. On the return trip I got 11.2 l / 100kms and I was pushing it (had the mother in law with me - enough to make anyone get a trip over with quicker). Generally seem to be averaging 13 - 14 l /100 kms around town. Does everyone run their T on premium?? It is selling for 115.9 here making a tank fill pretty expensive. Would using regular have a big impact on performance/fuel economy??PA Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/25/#findComment-204170 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filled up at Tweed Heads before I left and price was down to 88.9 for BP ultima(98), admittably it does normally hover around 97c but as long as I fill on Wed or Thurs its cheapest. No way would I consider running on regular(91), even though the T,s knock sensors would handle it, but your defeating the purpose as it may be cheaper to buy but your fuel economy would be a lot worse, therefore your tank fill would cost about the same for less power. I have proven this many times with other cars. Happy New Year to ALL! Cheers B.B.

(hate Vortex!!! )If possible, I use Optimax, but on occasion, I've used the other major vendor's premium offerings.

Last week when I was in Albury those lucky bastards are only paying 105.8 Almost worth the 130 K's each way to get cheaper fuel Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/25/#findComment-204187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
