That is rubbish economy mate, what do you get if you do the same driving on 98 (I believe you have a switch so you can manually select the fuel you are using, yes?)

that would make it $60 for 600kms

still cheaper than a full tank of 98 for about $90 to get you about 500kms..

Still cheaper, yes... but I'd be stopping every day for another tank of LPG!

Where you getting your 98 from? Last time I filled the tank (last week) is cost me $108 :dry:

but that was 620kms ago (the light just came on this morning, so I should get at least another 80kms out of it :P)

but you get amazing economy lol

Non-highway driving kills me, all my driving is stop start short trips of 2-10km, or hills driving with no option to maintain a consistent speed. Whats 'economy' >_< Id say im still running quite rich mind you, almost ready for a tune - getting tired of seeing a nice ploom of black in my rear view mirror when I take off :whistling:

yeh this is around what i was putting last. cheapest i saw i think was 1.37

Wow, at that price I'd bring back a tanker! Up here our 91 Octane E10 is 5c/lt dearer than that.

Cam - yeah the economy is pretty bad.

On 98 I get around 14Lp/100km around town. 10Lp/100km on the freeway.

I expected probably a max 15% increase in consumption but looks like I've gone to 30% in consumption...so while the price/km ratio is still a shitloads better then 98, its definately not delivery what was advertised by the ALPGW mob :domokun:

I wonder if there's a freaking leak in the system...cos it feels like it!

yeh. if its in cold start, car runs richer.

cold start is caused by the coolant temp sensor reading cold.

im sure you know it - but its for cold morning starts etc..

Ah, that makes sense!

I'll see if this 02 sensor does anything for me then go from there, I'm happy to accept 14-15L/100km with all round driving, but 20+ is just wrong.

yeh my o2 sensor was my problem.

plugged in it would run so poorly that it would pop on idle. im guessing near about flooding, and completely missfiring 3000rpm +

unplugged it was fine.

so i ditched it and tuned..

I get about 400kms a tank since i got the car back to Adelaide. I think that works out to about 20l/100, or 5km/l for those with the leaf!

The novelty of the turbo hasnt worn off yet though, so there has been a bit of fun...

Im running the car on 100 octane e10, i have a servo down the road and there are a fair few in SA. Last night cost me $1.50/l.

Latest road trip recorded the following fuel economy. Loaded with 4 people and all luggage.

Sydney - Canberra (towing a 7 x 4 box trailer with 4 bikes mounted on top) = 15L/100km

Canberra - Albury (via The Alpine Way) = 14.2L/100km.

Albury (2 days commuting) - Goulburn = 11.7L/100km

Goulburn - Ryde = 9.2L/100km

Pretty happy with results. :)

That's excellent Andy - each leg was better than the one before. Did you ditch the trailer for the return, drive more economical on the way home or did the ECU learn something new? :)

Ditched the trailer at Canberra. A mate took it home as I was heading on to Albury.

Went from from heavy towing load, to mountain roads to Freeway... that was the difference.

I'm getting 14L/100KM with my 250RS.

Running on Caltex 95, 50/50 Norm/Sports Mode

Can get higher open road driving, like I got from Hamilton to Wellington(535km) then back half way on a tank, around town is a shocker though.

Hmm... thought I was doing well since concentrating on driving economically (not necessarily slow).

Filled up last night - 70.4L with 749kms on the ODO :)

Still cost me $116 to fill up though :pirate:

WTF. Man, thats awesome economy!

I have 550km on the ODO and the light has just come on... and this tank includes a trip down the coast on highways.

I find out l/100km tomorrow when I fill up.

Seems pretty shit, even if I get 75 litres in, it will still be around 13.5 L/100km

Don't want to know what my fuel consumption is now I'm running 240kw with a 3076. Still needs further tuning tho, thanks to a boost leak ... which will affect the fuel economy also. :(

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
