This has been done before, but meh. From memory, last thread started by Lugo

ANYWAY; As of late, fuel economy has become alot better. I am not getting 420-450km/tank to my 350-380 beforehand.

Lately I have been filling with either Mobil8000 or Shell V-Power. Both work wonders and I can tell that my car isnt running as rich as it used to (judged by the amount of black crap on my bumper)

Didnt know carbys used that much more than EFI!

BTW, I changed my air filter from a Drift Pod to a standard Mitsubishi panel and it's shown a massive dif. Not running as rich and more POWAAAAA...

ive got to 560 kms with 12 litres still left... so dunno what my car can do but its one hell of an economic car..... maybe due to only doing 90.000kms on the odometer and im not a led foot.

Get this, ADZA_27 Has a reconditioned engine, he somehow got 700L..... as he drives around with the fuel light on for about 50 years, untill it starts gurgling around corners.

Don't know much about carb's but I'm pretty sure they use fuel ALL the time, unlike EFI where the fuel can be cut and stuff to save it, so yeah they use tons.

yep the carby's a hunka ****e like that
the only reason iv still got it is lack of money and knowledge

[Krazy KR]

out of everyday use, i get 350kms to 420kms for my V6 KR with 212000kms

i got 650kms out of a tank when i went over to ballarat, with 9lts still remaing.... so that came to 170 -180kms per quarter.

not bad for a 17 and a half year old car, huh.
