Fuel Consumption ??

[DeanB]

I've been running the aCar App for Androids and I've been averaging 8.2 L/100km since last December when I began tracking it.

Best so far has been a 6.25 L/100km tank and worst has been a 11.35L/100km tank.

Considering the mods and the fact that I tend to give it a bit of a boot full it isn't too bad

Now that I've fitted the skinny tyres, I should get a noticable increase on this.

Going down from 195 section to 175 tyres has given me about a 7.5% improvement over my previous mileage. I think I could have got 1100km from 55 litres (did over 600km on 31 litres in suburban driving - with country driving, it would certainly be better) this time but I didn't want to turn up to this weekend's track day with a full tank (of diesel).

Thread revival.

9.46 l/100km on second to last tank and 8.72 l/100km on the last tank driving in mild peak hour traffic both ways, so pretty good considering it's also chipped. Taking it pretty easy with the odd punch. Both times are with BP Ultimate though I've since heard that better mileage beckons with Caltex Vortex so I'll fill up next time with that to compare. With freeway driving sans traffic that figure should drop to low 7s I reckon.

10.2 - 11.5 consistently!

i once made it from sydney (outskirts) to melbourne (CBD) starting with a full tank, and getting into melbourne with JUST a teensie bit more than a quarter of a tank left

Always have to come and spoil the party don't you Diesel owners...

I average 9.0.

I live 5 kms from both the CBD (busy) and the Adelaide Hills... You do the maths there.

My highway average is about mid 6s on a cold night to mid 8s in summer with the a/c on.

Interestingly, I got metter mileage with the standard paper air filter in...????

This is all good to hear actually as mine is comparable. Highway with aircon is usually high 7's to mid 8's, city running around mid 9's to low 10's depending on the usual variables. I usually have roof racks on which would add to the drag.

What? Because mine is getting close to 1100km on a tank with purely suburban and city driving?

My consumption can swing between 6 and 16.

16 is for inner sydney suburban work. You know why...
