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

[[SEIRYU]]

You probably had 20L left in the car and thats why it never came on.

yeah ive been told that before hey

im paranoid about the fuel level

TL VRX manual, no rear muffler, K&N & intake around town 620ks with the air con on, 650ks with off that's using about 65lt. I dont drive it granpa like either.

On the highway with air con on and a full car I get over 800ks out of it before the fuel light comes on and that comes on at 59lt or so. I love that, so good on fuel.

This is done on e95 fuel aswell (ethonal)

2002 TJ Manual Sports with a 2.5inch Cat back exhaust and K&N Filter and I get about 10.4L per 100km around town and I don't give it much at all to save fuel. On the Highway I get about 8.5L per 100km.

TE 3.0 auto sedan Ive got 700kms for 60 L with highway driving. The light tends to come on with around 20L left. Even with the gauge well under the empty mark i have never put in more than 62l (supposed to hold 71L). Its all stock exhuast ect. Short trips around town and its all gone in 350-400kms

use your trip computer then.. it tells you how much fuel you've used (provided you reset it when ya fill up)

fuel light comes on at around 55L used.. i run it til it gets to about 65-68L used, then fill up (71L tank, still got 2 or 3 Litres in reserve) and its usually pretty accurate.. ive said a couple of time, ill have 66.3L of unleaded and its been within 0.2 of that figure..

most ive ever gotten out of my tank was 670 (75% highway driving) but its usually 501-550kms in normal, day to day driving..

last week i booted the crap out of it to see how quick it would go.. got 440 kms out of 62L of fuel.. which i didnt think was too bad

I did a trip over easter, Canberra - Adelaide - Port Augusta and back, clocked 3440kms on 300L of juice, mostly highways.It was loaded up to the brim, running 36 psi and it used 105 litres for the 1250 km Canberra to Adelaide (via Ouyen). even with the price of fuel it only cost $140 - not cheap but cheaper than flying a family of four. FOund the trip meter to be pretty accurate, as long as you fill it consistently. And even in Balranald it was no dearer than Canberra, price ranged from $1.31 to $1.38 on Good Friday.

On a trip I get around 8.5L/100kms(best I have seen is 7.8 without the air con on - highway only and around 110kms/hr), around town it gets scary around 12L/100 - we only live 4 kms from work & supermarkets and its 80km/hr zones everywhere with lots & lots of roundabouts!Car is an 2002 S2 exec with 66000kms with tiptronic box.

My car has never seen a full fuel tank. I'm already carrying enough luxo barge weight as it is, and dont need another 30kg or so of fuel.

Mods are extractors, 18" rims, exhaust (2.5", hi flow cat, hi flow muff).

On average I get about 14.5 - 15L / 100km. ****ty yes, my car hardly gets time to warm up before I arrive at work. On other normal city driving it's around 11.5-12.5L/100km. Country driving its 8.5L-9.5L/100km.

Subtract 0.5-1L / 100 km for the addition of a pod. However this no doubt meant the car was running lean.

My car: 17c per km.
CBR250R: 4c per km.

I can't wait till I get my bike licence.
