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

[tbb]

around town about 18L/100km
Possibly 11 to 12 on the hwy.

With that amount of fuel, you might as well get a v8 falcon or commodore or a nisan patrol.

that's with the supercharger, right?

I'm interested to see how my fuel economy is affected after my blower goes on.

I suppose if you drive like a granny, short shifting, it should be okay.

Doubt you will be able to resist the urge to use the extra grunt, the sound is enough to be addicted.

For the performance, particularly considering the AWD, the fuel consumption in much better than a V8.

My XB Ford 351 4V used about 30 - 35Litres per 100km when driven with only a bit of vigor, had no traction and was cop bait.

I'm sure the first month or so will be expensive on fuel, but after that I'll probably only give it one or two squirts (when necessary )

I always change before 3000, so I guess that would be short shifting. I don't usually run it out to red line on the way to and from work!!!

I have just done the Adelaide-Sydney trip (and return) and averaged 8.2L/100km, for the whole trip!
I'm stoked

This was on cruise control at 110km/hr and aircon flat out the whole time!

just got back from picking up my newly supercharged car in Sydney...

8.1L/100km on the way to Sydney (went up to 8.4 through some heavy traffic on the way to Mona Vale)

9.8L/100km on the way back (uphill!!) and through very heavy traffic (i.e. stopped on the M5, 20kmh through the last tunnel). it should be said that I didn't reset it before I started back, so that includes all the running and testing that the guys did (I think it was at 33L/100km when I got in it ).

on the run to work this morning it was about normal until I started giving it a bit. I'm sure the first couple of weeks will be expensive.
