Fuel Economy - What do you get out of a tank? (3rd gens only)

[madmike]

1996 te exec. 4 cyl 5 speed. Has CAI extractors and always full with pushers and ****. I drive at one speed, STUPID. Got to love the 2.4l get about 750kms round city.

[wookiee]

first full tank after re-tune...

560km out of 61L (mostly in town, but not heavy traffic, some towing)

10.9L/100km

that's probably the best around town tank I've had in 12 months.

cheers,

With my revised driving style I got 12.3L/100km last tank. about 450km using 55L fuel, less than 100km motorway.

my KL is now (over)due for its 60,000km service (by nearly 2000km...)

my fuel econ from the gold coast up the Pacific hughway to bris (when reset before driving) gets down to 10.2l/100km avg.

im hoping that when i get my service done - fuel econ will improve a bit....

[aggressor]

Unfortunately, still 13.3l/100km based on three fill-ups of different Shell fuels driving the same routes. I hope a tune-up can help improve on it further.

Replacing all three filters regularly (oil/air/fuel) as well as maintaining correct tyre pressures at all times will help achieve optimum economy.

Running a thicker oil will raise consumption considerably as well.

I recently upgraded to a TL .
My fuel economy has now improved to 12.5L per 100km (approx 550 per tank).
Country drive sat on 8.5L per 100km without even trying.

Big improvement over my 3.0L TE.

Last fill I managed 405ks from 46 litres - so that makes it 11.36l per 100ks and I had been flooring it.

Going to drive more conservatively this week and see how it goes.

Have only used V-Power and V-Power racing (yeah i know, bit of a wank but it was cheap that week) since changing Fuel Filter.
