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

[Boozer]

i got just under 10L/100km in my last tank (660km to about 65ish Litres, about 100+km of it was a flogging), i have been running my car on Shell Optimax/V-Power and wow...i have been doing rough calculation in my head when i was using regular unleaded (Shell) and i thought i was getting something between 11-12ishL/100km, so for some reason my car responds better to the premium fuel...i dunno, but i don't drive my grandma either.

That's interesting, because your motor doesn't have a knock sensor, so using different ron fuels shouldn't make a difference to the fuel economy.

hmmm true, my only explanation is maybe his timing is off/out of tune? Or the engine just isn't running at it's optimum on regular.

and my last tank i just filled up again i got 9.3L/100km of which it consisted of some city driving, start stop, a drive on Beach road and a drive to philip island. with the mention of my engine is out of tune, i think u are right, at idle and with a broken driver's side engine mount, the engine has a rough idle, in a sense it more of a "pulsating" kind of idle...and with the car running on regular, it just doesn't sound as nice as when it runs on premium (at idle) if u wanna know what i mean i might take u out for a drive one day. i'll stick to premium now...its not too expensive atm anyway

i can get about high 500-low 600 in suburban driving, depending on how far the foot goes at times. i did get a mid 600's on one tank and that had about 40mins or something on the Monash Fwy but the needle got down the E and the fuel light was coming on and off
