7heavn Member 6 Member For: 16y 9m 14d Posted 21/08/09 12:31 PM Share Posted 21/08/09 12:31 PM haven't had my BA xr6t for long it's a mk1 4spd Auto tuned by C&V only mods being intercooler , flash tuner , valve springs , actuater . Too me the car seems to be very very heavy on fuel I've been going easy on it to see how far I can go on a tank . According to the trip computer it's up around 17.4-17.6 L/100km's On this current tank of fuel I've only done 290km's and she's neally ready for another tank the trip comp indicated 40km's till empty . My question being does this seem very excessive or is that about what is expected ?. I don't do any highway it's all stop start short trips usually I know this doesn't help the situation but I expected to go further then on a tank then what I am .The car makes 309rwkw on C&V's dyno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On mixed (50% highway), it's settle down to 11.6L/100km. You get bad fuel economy during the first 15 minutes because the engine is still cold. Your figure comes as no surprise. Try doing a 100km freeway trip, your average will most likely read 9-10L/100km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can go from home to townsville, a nearly 400km trip with some overtaking along the way and only use half a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are concerned with how much fuel it uses, sell it and buy a Yaris. I get 10s on hwy and 18-20 around town...and frankly, I dont really give a damn. Its too much fun.
