I've never gotten my car below 9.9l/100km I think. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93060-was-doing-average-15l-100km-but-now-doing-21l-100km/page/4/#findComment-1635163 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder how the average is calculated in FGs.

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 5m 20d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 26/03/17 03:23 AM Share Posted 26/03/17 03:23 AM I doubt the car references the fuel level for average consumption - only distance to empty would. Going up and down hills moves the float in the tank. Surely with EFI it "knows" how much fuel gets squirted in for each combustion cycle (4 bar pressure, pulsewidth, injector flow characteristics), and the wheel speed sensor combined with the programmed tyre diameter allows the distance calculation to take place. Compare the two and you get fuel per distance. Interestingly I found before custom tuning the car reported a higher than actual fuel use. After custom tune it reported a lower than actual use. About 0.5 to 1L/100 either way. As said the only way worth checking is to fill it right up, drive and fill it right up again and record odometer before you head off. I used to write it on the fuel docket. Haven't bothered for years though. I just reset Trip A each fill up and take a bit of a look at the fuel needle as I'm driving around, say at 3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 (if I let it get that low) then guesstimate. Trip B records distance since last oil change Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93060-was-doing-average-15l-100km-but-now-doing-21l-100km/page/4/#findComment-1635222 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually down to 8.4 l / 100km as I arrived into Belair Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93060-was-doing-average-15l-100km-but-now-doing-21l-100km/page/4/#findComment-1635390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
