RE: Fuel Mileage

Postby nbusetti » Wed Mar 22, 2006 6:35 pm

Hey everyone,

I just recently decided to see how far my T1 would travel on a tank of fuel.

I was very surprised to see it could go 654km on 40 Litres of fuel. Thats 6.1 Litres per 100km. Not bad I thought.

Has anyone had simular results with there fuel mileage.

Just note this was all city driving and not hitting turbo though I was going anywhere from 60km-80km where travelling. However I started to get annoyed at 621km and started driving at a speed of 110km, as I had enough of it not running out of fuel.

Kind Regards

Nicholas

Fark me that is some good sh*t, I get around 480kms on 40 litres of 98 ron in city driving, I have wider tires, boost much easier and prolly dont drive as nice as you. Although I think my car runs quite rich.

Yep i was getting 600ish to a tank until i put the 3inch from the turbo back and now it seems not as good. Turbo boosts so quick that its hard not to drive with it not boosting up. :D

Hey,
650K's off a tank! thats sweet,
I have a 86 non turbo city and i only get about 450 k's (off about $40 of premium @ $1.34ltr, my tank must be a little smaller) Plus most of my driving is on the highway at about 80-90kph (im a P plater) and the occasional blockie on my way home. Should i be getting better fuel efficiency than this? what can i do to improve it?

Where the hell do you live to get fuel at $1.34

Here in nz it costs me $1.61 just for 95 :(

And the best way to improve is to go easy on the lead foot, also make sure your tryes have the correct air, low pressure means more traction but also more friction which is lost energy. keep your windows closed at all times to reduce drag.

Im sure theres more that they have been telling us to do over here, just forgotton it all ;)
