clyde Member 71 Member For: 22y 6d Location: Sydney Posted 08/10/03 06:49 AM Share Posted 08/10/03 06:49 AM I have been trying to run my car as dry as possible without completely running out so I can figure out how many Kms I will get per tank of fuel. My problem is that even with the readout stating only 2 Kms to empty I still can't put in more than 60 litres of fuel. I get approx 16 ltrs per 100kms around town and am doing approx 415 from a full tank to what the readout says is 2-3 kms to go. Is it just that the readout is very inaccurate? Has anyone else noticed? I don't want to keep driving around when DTE says I am nearly empty but the numbers don't add up.

Guest wezmycar Guests Posted 08/10/03 09:38 AM Share Posted 08/10/03 09:38 AM just use the average fuel consumption. 16l/100kms it is very accurate. dont let the fuel light come on, as this reduces power.., the computer senses that there is low fuel and will retard power..only minor though.

I could get my AU down to 6 litres in the tank safely. But with the BA I always seem to have 10 litres left even when driving for ages with the fuel light on.

Wezz's tale of power loss when fuel light is on, isn't compulsory as my car had fuel light on at RDP dyno day & still made good power which suprised Steve & crew.Scotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/6721-how-many-litres/#findComment-56089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjh Member 156 Member For: 22y 2m Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 09/10/03 07:35 AM Share Posted 09/10/03 07:35 AM I used to own a SS ( I know, you don't have to tell me, but , I now own a Turbo ) and I was told that I still had a 60km range when it said 0. This was so that you didn't run out of petrol and have to ring up the road side assist blokes. Don't know if this is true as I have never tried it.

sixfan Flaccid Member Donating Members 2,503 Member For: 21y 10m 27d Gender: Male Location: NOONAMAH, go figure..... Posted 14/10/03 04:47 AM Share Posted 14/10/03 04:47 AM Yeah,They do it so you don't run the tank dry, it's bad for the fuel pump, also crud in the tank will get sucked up if you run it dry. (sez he who's t is currently showing 60 DTE...) I'd kill for a tank 20 ltrs bigger.

Swap the sedan for a ute, you'll get your 80 litre tank, and some change left over for the engine mods! :idea: ciao Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/6721-how-many-litres/#findComment-57189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
