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)

oh yeh your highway trip rights. see what you mean.

lol $108?? it hasnt been THAT long since I put fuel right?

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. :(

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
