Fuel Consumption

[rgvlee]

550 all day out of my stock tune and I give it a bit.

550-600 out of a tank? Mine is always around 12L/100kms as well and I do have a bit of a heavy foot but I see 380kms a tank max and it's still on a standard tune lol

my old polo made 160fwkw (i think) , full stage 2+ CC tune and was at 10L/100km (and i was always up it).

Since Jan 2011 I've been tracking my fuel use with each fill using the aCar app. So far I am averaging 8.61 L/100km with a minimum of 6.25L/100km and a maximum of 10.89L/100km. Wish I had have had it since day 1 with the car so I could see the difference the tune, etc have made over time.

What brand of tune did you get and are you happy with it?
Never mind...I just read your banner under you post.

Holy Sheeit some of you lot are getting great numbers.

Mine, mostly stock on APR stage 1 tune, highway at 113km/h usually mid 7s.

Back and forward to work, 7.3?

K04, 3" exhaust, but not yet tuned (being reasonably gentle too) now averaging mid 6's.

I've never seen "550-600" from a tank though!!

I drive mine like a grandma to work and back, city driving nothing over 60km and can't get over 350km out of a tank!!

Totally stock, I can only think it might need a new 02 sensor, has done 83K on the clock...

My APR Stg2 did 5.7l/100km going up the coast from Brissy to the Sunny Coast and back easily every time and I had it on either 105 or 115 km/h on the SatNav (much more on the speedo) and it always had at least 4 people in it.

In town, the commute gave me 9l/100km and that was 20km each way, burbs to CBD fringe.

Not only was the tune so much fun, it saved a lot of fuel over the 6 years I had it ..... still miss the little beast (sigh)

Reading this makes me think there is something wrong with my car stuff it I'm calling up the shop tomorrow and seeing if I can get a stage one tune Friday and maybe they can tell me if there are any other problems lol

A number of factors affect the fuel consumption reading such as tire pressure, tires, fuel type and how well you ride the down revs, curvature of the road ect..

I run a tire pressure of around 37 psi, this has greatly improved the fuel consumption figure as well as making takeoff a little lighter feeling than the recommended 33psi

You can easily get up to 700km out of the tank in this beast if you use the overfill release valve when filling up, on my last fillup I managed to get 43 litres into the tank with a quarter left, so the tank will hold roughly 55 - 60~ liters, anyone confirmed this from empty?

With the APR Tune, I get an average of 7.2, as low as 6.8 and average around 8.5 around town in traffic
