Get around 350 - 400k driving it like a granny... Something isnt right, even stock should see way more than this. Does the car see any of the highway? or is it just stop-start peak traffic. If the latter then it might be accurate. If I was in peak traffic every day I would get a 4 cyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filled up back in Canberra. 57.91 Litres to fill the tank right to the top. Total km's Canberra to Wollongong / Kiama and back 590km.So a tank of 68 Litres would give me 690km all up.Mods to Car: 2nd Cold Air-intake ( F6 ).

We usually get out on the weekend, but usually only do about 150 - 200km a week. Missus reckons she doesn't bag it around town, but I have sneaky suspicions she does... It has Plazmaman Plenum, Plazmaman 1100HP Cooler & UBP, but is currently running stock tune. Saving for flashbox and injectors at the moment, hopefully this will improve economy a bit!

Don't like idling much - makes them thirsty.Would be rapt to get 450 - 500km out of a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
