Reading car sales today and the official results are for a TJ 3.5:
9.0 highway, 14 city. wtf? My city driving hasn't gone over 11 and highway i can get better than 9.
Please use the report a post feature, instead of replying and creating more work for the admin team. Thanks!
You sure thats not for the TJ AWD?Originally Posted by M4DDOG
I notice that even with BP, I get better kays with certain petrol stations compared to
others. With the driving I do as mentioned in my previous thread, filling up at BP on corner
of South and Henley Beach Roads in Adelaide, I'm getting close to 8km/ltr or close to
12.5 l/100km. Whereas, at the BP on Churchill Rd, I'm only getting 7.5km/lt or 13.3l/100km.
These were averages taken over a period of 15 weeks, with 5 weeks on the better BP and
10 weeks on the worse BP with around 400km per week.
Hi guys,
New member here.
I have a well maintained Dec. 98 TF Sports
Done 150k on it and have been diligently checking the mileage the last 4 years by recording it in a spreadsheet.
On average (no pun intended) the average has been 8.93 kmpl or 11.19 litres per 100 kms. This is a mixture of freeway and city driving and mostly with Woolies unleaded. Have noticed that the average improves slightly with Shell unleaded. Have not noticed any discernable difference with PULP.
I'm with you on woollies petrol. Eventhough it is 4c/l cheaper with a docket, I'm actually
better of going to BP. For 400km, with petrol at $1.10 at BP and $1.06 at Woollies Caltex,
I'm saving 2 dollars per week, thats $04 a year. Better still, I've found a BP station which
has better fuel again, giving me another $2 per week.
Thus, using Woollies Caltex, I'm getting 7km/l, with the lesser BP, I'm getting 7.5km/l and
with the better BP, I'm getting close to 8km/l.
Fuel Economy
Hey guys hows things?.. Fuel Economy on my magna is freakin brilliant, I would get between 700-800 klms from a tank absolutly no worries at all (Highway driving), being in the country roads the average speed of that would be 110-115. I have done Brissy to Emerald on one tank of fuel the distance being 974km, admittingly I didnt once step over 100k/h and the average got down to 8.1ltrs/100km
I will admit the A/C does add at least 1.0ltr/100km
The Car is a TH (99) 3.5ltr Sports 5sp, I have the K 'n' N Filter as well as an extra air pipe fitted to bottom of air box. Pacemaker tuned length extractors.
The fuel tank has never seen a drop of normal unleaded fuel, from day one its been Shell Optimax or BP Ultimate. This fuel eco kills any of the "top market cars" although the Camry isnt too far behind it (Drove it for a hire car).
I reset the trip comp every trip and Im disappointed if i get more then 9.0ltr/100km, if trip says 70ltrs used generally thats about 2-3ltrs out at fuel station, this has only been like this since the introduction of the extractors.
Take it easy guys.... Damo

Is amazing that you really got so good fuel economy for your Magna.
Most of the time I find that the less mods you have the more Fuel economy you get.
When I was with stock wheels I get about another 50kms more than usual. But however the Verada wheels do give me a better steering and grip on the roads. is a plus minus thingy.
Surprise that this is only a 4 cyl?
