Drove 8mins to station 8 mins home. Fuel economy was shocking at 14.5l/100km I would get like 400ks out of a tank max Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87239-what-to-do-driving-such-short-distance/page/2/#findComment-1449037 Share on other sites More sharing options...

***VX*R8*** Member 202 Member For: 11y 7m 10d Gender: Male Posted 09/01/14 08:40 AM Share Posted 09/01/14 08:40 AM Last year I bought a 2002 WH2 5.7L Statesman (ssshhh!). The car had 2 babyseats in the back and the owner said it was only used by his wife to drive to work and drop their kids off at daycare. Both were about 2 minutes away. The car ran perfectly but when I removed the valley cover to replace a gasket the LS1 was full of gunk and dry, hardened oil sediment.Removing the valley cover disturbed the sediment which breaks into heaps of tiny pieces. This then ended up blocking the pickup screen which would cause low oil pressure. Multiple oil changes made no difference and neither did multiple engine flushes so ended up having to pull the motor out and disassemble it.It was crazy how gunked up it was. I believe it was from doing so many short trips with the car not getting near operating temp and also likely not enough oil changes and a cheap oil. If you're going to use the car to drive frequent short trips I'd definitely try and use a good fully synthetic oil with good detergents and change it every 6 months.
