Petrol Usage

[Spammeoff]

Sorry should have made it a bit clearer.....

The readings were taken when that mark was reached, so from the 1/4 mark until the E light came on was 96kms.

I can only do ~30kms on my light, I have done it before, and conked out

And while we're on it... putting car in neutral while coasting isn't a good idea, idling requires more fuel than an overrun situation (I doubt SK could turn off his injectors while idling right?). And also, good work!

I've been shocked at the pitiful range on the fuel light the Stagea has compared to other japs, caught me out when I first bought it.

Oh, and to really measure fuel consumption accurately, you wanna full tank to brim, drive til about empty with tripometer recording, refill to brim, and however many litres that fill required vs the K's you've just done is your economy. But then maybe you were just looking specifically for max k's outta one tank, hence you should have run it dry for us!!! ahahaha

Well I did an 'economy run' recently in my stock S2 stagea, keeping off boost where possible and I got 12.8L/100km, measured using the method in the above post. I like to reset the km's every time i fuel up so I can work out my fuel economy.

Driving how I normally do I get between 13.5 and 14L/100km (city driving, mostly peak hour traffic) and the above figure included a fair bit of driving outside peak hours so its a little bit optimistic.

Not that much difference between the two figures though which I thought was great because it means my usual driving style isn't costing that much extra in fuel. I'm not a leadfoot but I do like to boost a bit when accelerating.

After a brief country drive, followed by some city driving, I have managed to achieve best figures of 450km's. I'm pretty happy with that, cos thats a huge increase from my previous best of 320ks! More to come with the DFA ?!

ive spent about...nothing...on stagea fuel in the last 2 months

but then... ive not seen my stagea for 2 months

well I'm down to 1/4 left and have just hit 300kms and thats not nanna driving..

Going on the freeway tomorrow in peak hour so we shall see how I go there.

[mcnamg]

be interesting to see what sort of consumption I get as most of my driving is freeway with no real peak driving I drive 100kms a day from Atwell to Joondalup and back

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Im getting between 250-300kms out of a tank. Its running a bit on the rich side so that should improve when i get it tuned up.

I finally got 389 Km's out of 56/57ltrs

280kms & bout 1/3 of a tank left. Mixture of freeway & stop start traffic

Since SAFC2 was tuned, it runs so much better, and drinks a hell of a lot less fuel.

Little Johnny should put a rebate on SAFC2's! The little bugger...

[FLYSLY]

At the moment im getting about 350 max out of a tank really looking forward to getting an SAFC 2 installed and tuned, but i figure there is no point until all get the rest of my mods done.

new to the stagea clan with a stocker rs4.

im getting the same as i use to get with my 32, 400km's per tank (about 50-55L's to fill up).

this is all city driving to work in the centre of perth, 25km's each way so i dont think its too bad for the power it has and how much it friggin weighs

well guys just a quick update. Almost finished a think almost E (the warning light had not lit). Ive done 410km in one tank. I filled up with mobil synergy 8000 (98 octane). I think its pretty good i guess. &0% HWY driving though. The rest is in city with a few hammering 2 or 3 times i guess.

[leetom]

has anyone tried mobil boost 98[ethanol mix],is it safe.as stated i get 420-450 town 500+hwy bp ultimate.something to watch when warning light on dont park passenger side down on sloping gutter etc,1st time ever mine wouldnt start. leetom

Do a search for ethonol on here. The issue is not the RON rating, it is what the ethonol will do to your fuel system, including your fuel pump amongst other things.

But I know there are 5 or 6 really long threads with all sorts of opinions on this subject from some knowledgeable people.

[stasis]

ohh i forgot all thedriving are w/o Ac on. The air con was only on for the last 160k.

[munchstagea]

I just filled up after a bit of a road trip and got 427km/51lt

~12lt/100km that's 60lts/500km not too bad...

Stock everything apart from a K&N air filter.

took my baby up to lithgo today up the great windy wet foggy bells line of rd and had a ball stuck to the rd like poo poo on a blanket i did 200 klm on 22liters of fuel and im real happy with that

[GoldZilla]

That's a pretty good result, Mike!

[mcnamg]

ok got approx 383 km out of 54l of fuel I wasnt attempting to drive smoother either was about 60% freeway with 30% stop start peak hour driving and 10% spirited
