Bain Member 827 Member For: 19y 11m 28d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 28/08/06 12:05 AM Share Posted 28/08/06 12:05 AM Ive had this issue since getting my car.Its expected though if your car is only doing around 20km's between starting and turning off the car.Open highway I get almost 700km's.Mixed I get around 450km'sCurrently I barely scrape in 350km/tankMike, unforuntately there is no real way to save on fuel unless you get an auto.

vidge Member 27 Member For: 19y 3m 12d Posted 28/08/06 05:13 AM Share Posted 28/08/06 05:13 AM Ok I don't get it, my car uses about 13lt per 100 and that's mainly city driving and giving it a squirt at least once each time I drive it.It seems there is a MASSIVE difference in between different cars. It surely can't all come down just to the manner it is driven, cause there are people on here saying they baby it and still get 18lt and others saying they give it some and get 12lt. Is it just that the factory setup is really inconsitent??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may reflect on the difference in fuel consumption too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont drive it that often. when I do I give it a bit of a squirt now and then but mainly the mrs just putts it around town during the week yet the fuel consumption doesnt go under 16l/100k's. its costing me about $75 a week to go less than 300k's!I'm not going to mod the car for more power because of warranty concerns but what can I do to improve the blasted fuel economy? otherwise if petrol gets much dearer it will be the shortest ownership in history.cheersmike.←What's the service history like on your car?I'd recommend having the fuel filter changed, pump screen clean and replacing the O2 sensor. What fuel do you run in it?←usually a 95 octane. mainly vortex. service history is good as it's ex telstra fleet←so what u mean to say is that it was run on 91 octane all its life??total fuel system clean buddy....

Just did a 400K round trip and reset the trip computer before I left. Sitting in sixth at 110KM/h with the cruise controll on returned 10.4L/100K with two adults and a chock-full boot of camping crap.In the city and if I baby it really well, I might get 13.5L/100K. If I don't care that week and drive 'normally', I'd return 16+/100L easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
