fuel consumption

[Champinco]

just wondering how many kms u guys get from a full tank???

for a r33 (if can s2 gtst), best case(driving normally half freeway and half street) and worst case (thrashing the crap out of it)

i get about 400 (worst) to about 500 (best)

sound right?

That sounds damned excellent. I get around 370 around town before I fill up (~50 litres or so) and get 500-600 or a little more on the freeway depending on if I fill up when the gauge reads empty or if I let it run till it's almost bone dry.

I consider my car to be pretty light on fuel (13.5-15L/100km around town, 9.5-10.5L/100km on freeway) especially given its power output (~200rwkw) so your figures are pretty darned good.

yeah i thought so, but still i spend about min $60 dollars a week on petrol (a full tank). so it aint all that good. Its cause i drive to work mon-fri, then go out weekends and sometimes on weekdays after work.

cheers

i know what u mean champinco ... i do the same ... i've been thinking about geting another car just to save on feul and insurance lately. ..

The most efficient car you can get will use around half the fuel of the Skyline. That's like a Daihatsu Charade or something. If you reckon that it will only cost you $30 per week to run the second car, as in pay for it, insurance, registration, maintenance, repairs, etc, then you will only just break even. I guess then you'll save some depreciation on the Skyline, but would it really be worthwhile?

If you were going to do that you may as well get a motorcycle. At least then you'd have something a little different and a lot cooler than a Charade

Spend around $30-40 a week for me.

10.6L/100km on highways and up to 15-16L/100km on heavy urban traffic mixed with some "spirited" driving around town...

But again, my average travelling distance is around 25-30km a day.
