Fuel Economy?

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

Just wondering what everyones fuel economy is on unleaded and premium fuels and what car this is in (including mods).
I run unleaded in a stock au fairmont and on average i get 16.5L per 100km thats driving mild around town, and on highway cycle, i just drove to sydney and i got 8L per 100km (sitting on 90km/h cos of red p's).

What type of cars are you after, I guess AU's?

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

anything and everything. Just the car you drive and the mods you have done and your economy.

i have a stock ef ticky and i just did about 350km of highway driving on weekend and about 100km of town driving (bit of thrashing) and got 10.8 ltrs/100km i went from werribee to kingsbury and wen i got there had an average of 8.9 (reset it on the highway just after i filled up)

BOSS 260 with unichip, cat back exhaust, helix block, underdrives, 4" pod filter and CAI and vaporate. Runs on vortex 95

City- 13-14L/100km driving normally with a decent number of good squirts of the throttle.

Highway- 10-11L/100km

i think around 16ish. ive got a ba2xr8 stock, some fairly "spirited" driving i spose. driving like a normal person i get around 12

[fauxpas]

Normal work and back klms.

My outgoing AUII Futura cost me 10 litres per 100ks. So predictable. 450ks = 45 or less litres.

My new BA Fairmony Ghia costs me 12-13 litres per 100ks.

[HLC]

stock AU 2 Fairmont. a moderate mix of freeway driving/ stop start stuff cause i live in thre greater west of sydney. the computer reads 14.2 litres, on my calculations, im doing 13.4 which is weird cause i push it to the limiter all the time *shrug*

my dads Boss 260 with herrod cat back stainless stell exhaust does about 16.1/100kays

and my mums 'lane does about 13.6 per 100 kays. see sig for mods.

From my healthy 5 litre Sprint 21mpg=???l/100k's combined hiway/town driving

[Racecraft]

AU with headers and 2.5" exhaust, unleaded: nearly 300 klm per tank from Full to empty.. Car only travels 5 klm each way so it never gets out of 'the engine is cold so lets waste fuel mode' ..

[HOON69]

my cars showing me at 16l/100 and thats a ea ghia and its running really rich atm so dunno if this is correct for this model but im doubting it

the cars stock but 3.9 was replaced with a 4ltr

Mods in signature, I get an average of 11L/100k, or anywhere between 590-670K's to a tank. Thats all sorts of driving but probably around 60% highway driving.Oh. yeah, its a six to, not an Eight.

[GTP 320]

Country driving i get around 11.3Lt/100K which is about 600klm to the tankful and around city it's 14-16Lt/100k or around 450Klm to the tankful.
Mods are in the signiture.
Cheers John

For the Turbo I get about 9-10 l/100km on the highway and 15-18l/100km in town.
For the EL XR8 its about 9-10 l/100km on the highway and 13-15 in town.

I think the reason for the V8 being good around town is because it hardly ever gets pushed over 2200rpm, but the turbo gets hammered as often as possible.

[The MaDDeSTMaN]

Completely stock carbied XF, 3 speed auto. About 9.5-10L/100kms highway, about 13L/100kms city. Not bad for what it is I think

[Abacus]

AU Fairmont 5L, basically stock, gives me:

. 11ish on the highway

. 18.5ish in Sydney

Consumption doesn't really vary between 91, 95 or 98.

Car was running like a bag of shyte for the last couple of months. Visits to Ford dealer just made it progressively worse. Changed plug leads a littel while back, which helped a bit. Bastard was missing, farting and backfiring when I was in the country last week, so in desparation I took it to a bush mechanic in the middle of nowhere. He went down a hi-tech route that was beyond the capabilities of the Ford dealer's computers - i.e. he changed the spark plugs and fuel filter. INSTANT MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. I'm hoping fuel consumption will improve, but too early to say.

au fairmont, on gas, 400-450k's full tank, $25-30 to fill

[dvk]

EL futura, sedan, bullbar, stock.
700k's from 65L on hiway.
550-600k's from 65L in city (regular driving. only get up it occasionally).
basically equals around 9.3L/100km on hiway with aircon and fair weather
and around 11.3L/100km in the city, same conditions as above.
this is all on ULP. premo gives similiar results. the compression ratios in these engines do not really make use of the higher octane of premo. the only reason i use premo ever now and then is to keep the injectors clean.

4 cyl power!!! :P I have an 89 TX5 Ghia. It has a 2.25" cat back exhaust and a K&N panel filter (yeah I know nothing special!) I reckon my economy is about 8 or 9lts/100km in mostly dense traffic. I flog the crap out of it too lol so I reckon 7 lts/100km would be possible taking it easy. Doesn't really matter what the economy is as I usually just go to school and work. Might go to my mates house once or twice a week.

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

seems i must be givin my au a hard time too be getting 16ish in the city.. lol dam, i thought i was being nice..

[eb91xr6]
