Stock Rb25det Fuel Economy?

So, the usual suspects. The tune on the PFC, the O2 sensor.

The consumption is not outrageous. It is easy to use that much just driving without concern for how fast and far you move your foot.

Time for a modern ECU with wideband O2 and closed loop O2 strategy.

Do you have any numbers on how much of a difference it makes? I would think driving style makes the big difference for fuel economy but that's just gut feeling.

I would also like to think that as long as the setup is healthy for the engine, good fuel economy is really not a goal for cars like this. Or maybe that's how I justify it for the wagon. I also blame turbo noises and the exhaust going brpbrpbrp when letting off the throttle at higher rpm in lower gears.

Staff at the gas station are always very welcoming. I'm probably financing their kids' education.

Getting fuel more often also seem to make it hurt less. For whatever reason spending $60 on half a tank feels very different from spending $120 for a full tank.

Just driving around town normally, which involves being on boost as often as possible without driving like a dick, I get around 10L/100KM on 98. I'm running a Haltech pro plug in, ID1050X injectors, 60mm turbo. 

Fuel map is what you'd expect to find with one difference, the very very low load areas (think like 1% or 2% open throttle) I run those parts of the map quite lean, around 16AFR. Oh and the idle is set to about 600 rpm. 

To answer your question, about 30% saved on fuel?

no back to back numbers, however with wideband 02 closed loop, you're always correcting fuel regardless of the load you're at (depending on how you've set the closed loop strategy to work) not to mention the rate of change/correction is much faster than say a PowerFC or stock ECU.

Also with an aftermarket ECU you can command you cruise at say 15.2:1 instead of 14.7:1.. instant fuel savings there.

12.8-13.2l per 100km on e85 on a 3000km roadtrip.

I use a 4d fuel map that leans out at light throttle cruise 4-12% tps at 1500-2400rpm. Improved economy and didn't ruin the VE fuel map with silly dips.

Yet to run 98 as car rarely is driven
