Members fuel consumption

[minik1971]

Well this is the new fuel consumption thread. Rules are as follows.

No general discussions. This thread is to be used for discussion http://ozvr4.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198

1 post per member (edit as you need) Any more than that and the posts will be merged or deleted.

List all figures in litres per 100km as this will make it easier to compare.

Please list best fuel figures, worst and average and a brief description of driving conditions etc.

Mods made or problems may be listed to help explain figures.

Please keep things brief to allow for easy use of information.

[matchtheclown]

Hmm my 2nd tank I got

First re-fill 300k/41L so 13.6L/100k's... I was driving more carefully then the 2nd tank
310k's to 48 > 15.5L/100k's... It invovled some fairly spirited driving.... however I think I might do the ECU reset and throw in some EFI cleaner with the next tank.

Big news from the Super front tonight

Some caveats firstly. This last tank I've been driving probably 75% of the time without the aircon on, & 60% of the time with no stereo either.

But I filled up just earlier & could only cram in 52.12L, I'd travelled 534kms. According to my calculator, that gives a figure of;

9.76L/100kms !!!!!!!

Now, if I can achieve that in a Super, the heaviest VR4 out, then all of you can! My only mods in the car are Ralliart panel filter & intake piping.
