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

[Oggy]

Yeah, but how many litres did you use? 650K from a tank that's been bashed in and is now 50L is much better than running a 70L tank dry to achieve 650km.

I'm currently running without an O2 sensor, so will be interesting to see how many kms on my next fill up, then I'll wire in the new O2 sensor and be able to compare. Hopefully new sensor in the exhaust but without power won't kill it

686km from 56 ltrs

I went to Albury Wodonga in my 2001 TJ Sports on gas and got 500k`s for 60 ltrs. 8.3 k`s per litre. 1200klm`s all up and went like a charm.

Ok guys


i get really fuel economy on my tj VRX...worse then my previous V6 Commodre

i put $25 in and it gets me under 100kms..this is normal driving, what can be done as this seems ridiculous!

how big is the tank in these things?

my old vs had a 55ltr tank was $60 to fill and i got around 450kms to a tank

You can't use dollars to guage how much petrol your car uses. $25 @ $1.4/L gives 17.8 litres and $25 @ $1.2/L gives 20.8 litres. Fill your tank to the first click, note the odo reading, then drive for a week and note the odo reading again, and then fill up to the first click and see how many litres it drank and not how much it cost you dollars wise to the first click.

Your TJ should have a 71L tank and I am pretty sure the VS had a bigger tank than 55L, like 73L.

VS V6 had a 59L tank, the V8 had a 73L.

Saffire VRX, fill your tank completely, drive 100km, then refill your tank and see how many litres it takes. or reset your trip computer after filling and see what it indicates your fuel consumption is.
