Fuel Eco

[HotPlates]

I'm averaging 450km per tank on my R33 Gtst S2 with exhaust. Best I've had was just over 500. I use Shell V-Power Racing.

[R33silverS2]

City driving i get 350km's at most. Mods are in sig.

[khunjeng]

I average 450km per tank.

I have 270rw kw and all the supporting mods.

I think you guys better look at your O2 sensor.

[tyaos]

weird... installed turbo back exhaust (HKS Hi-power silent) and went from 480 to 600 from a tank! No idea how that works but not complaining

wft? 600km per full tank?

mostly hightway driving?

how can you get 600km....i wish i have that man..

im mostly city driving a lots of traffic light and get

300km per 50litre before cleaning injector..

i cleaned injector last week not sure how many ill get this time...

good man good fuel!

what mod do you have on your car?

[Baconer]

Majority is highway with about 100km per tank of petrol city driving (have to drive into Canberra to get petrol )

Only mods are the turboback exhaust, everything else is stock standard.

I was getting around 350km a tank when i first bought it but after changing the oil a few times it started making it past 400km a tank, a few weeks ago i changed all the filters it went up to 480km and then when i put the exhaust on i made it to 600km. No idea how it works or why it happened but it wasnt just a one off, I just filled up then and it worked out to be around 580km. These aren't full to empty readings though, its going by how many kilometers i have done (reset each fill) and how much i have to fill up to get it back to full, so unless the car uses more petrol as it gets lower it works out right. On the 600km tank i did 220km and filled up 24L, full tank is 65L, 65L/24L*220km= 595km.

Its incredibly easy to get fuel economy on a highway..

Recent trip to Albury.. 8.8Lts/100kms which equates to 738Kms to a tank

soon as i hit the city the fuel economy is anywhere between 13-16lts / 100kms

[tyaos]

ok... hightway and city driving is complete different story right?

ill try mine on highway someday lol

so if you change all old filters, get more fuel eco?

i just changed oil filter twice since i bought the car.

i bought it about 2month ago, changed oil and oil filter at first time and changed again 3days ago when i having a injector clean

not sure its right things to winging about fuel while we driving high performance car which is skyline... but its so bad when other people whos got same car and get much higher fuel eco.... even with more power....

!@#$%^!@#%$@#%^&%^%$

!@#$%^!@#%$@#%^&%^%$

The people with more power/ using less fuel most likely have had their cars tuned..

Skylines run rich from the factory and get worse when you start modding (i think?)

Even a SAFC will make a difference..

and yes highway is completely different because you arent using the turbo

[iMessenger]

best is 568kms from a tank (took 55 litres to fill)

average tank for me is like 460kms

(car is r32 gtst with rb20 and a few minor mods)

damn man that's organisation i tell ya

[iMessenger]

btw i have yet to pump full tank.. always pump about $30 worth which is roughly 22L, and get about 140k's

I have a heavy foot as well

[3340TH]

I got 550km from my tank when i drove it back from townsville...haven't seen that since. Getting round 300-350, with the occasional boot full. I use BP Ultimate or Optimax(which has been changed to v-power here.

[W0rp3D]

DAM, best i have gotten out of mine was 33ltrs after doing 200k's.

For a full tank i might get to 250 for 45-50 litres around town, the previous owner said he was getting around 320 a tank but that was never boosting it (has a standard turbo) i did a highway trip last night, filled it up before i left, is at 1/8th of a tank now and i have done 320k's, will get litres when i fill up today.

The one thing this thread is missing is the ways to fix bad fuel economy.

Its an R33. fmic, exhaust, pod running standard bov and standard boost on 98ron.

[ZENNON]

damn man that's organisation i tell ya

thanks

ps another 500+ tank atm

[GTST R33]

R33 GTST with mild mods (standard turbo, injectors, fuel pump)

using 98oct BP ultimate

average driving to/from work is about 450km i think it's a 60ltr/tank

and around 500km+ for freeway driving

i would get max of 350km/60ltr if i drove hard

[JUN`R32]

hhmmmm

thats weird

i use shell v-power and get more k's of that than i do off bp ultimate (this is going back a few months)

havnt tested it recently due to clutch slipping, never hits boost

But i was getting 350-400kms per 55L tank, with daily work driving, and goin out 2 or 3 times within the week, along with sat night goin out, so wasnt too bad...

What would be certain things that increase fuel efficiency ??

O2 sensor ??

fuel pump ??

anything else ?

[ZENNON]

maybe SAFC? not that the fuel it would save (if any) would pay itself off in any meaning full time...

[lighty01]

460ks full tank to fuel light

normal every day driving, freeway then stop start in the morning traffic and stop start in arvo traffic, and weekend cruising

not bad if you asked me..

bp ultimate fuel

mods:

FMIC + POD

DUMP + Full Exhaust

stock computer etc

try injector clean

as ive done recently and fuel consumption had been improved about 2 or 3 less litre per 100km

i had 16 or 17litre per 100km before and now getting around 13litre per 100km

my mod is bov and air filter thats it.

scan you vehicle and if there are nothings wrong or faluty do clean your injector.

injector needs to be cleaned every 70k or 50k

the cost is around 280 to 360. most of the cost is labour

if you can take the injectors out, take them out youselve and take them to mechanics. for just clean them it wont be expesive

nothing technical when clean them if they have machine

cheers

[T04GTR]

round town its arond 15-17L per100k. on highway 11-12 per 100

oh. 32gtr. and modifeied and the most fuel i ever put in was 73litres eek

[davib]

hey guys,

i've heard that there isnt any point in high octane petrol?

if u dont go thru ur whole tank in 7 days

the octane decreases down to 95 unleaded anyways?

., hhaha i dont go thru a whole tank in a weekk...

does anyone know nething about this???

btw, use nulon inject total fuel cleaner (yellow s15 at the front), top stuff

very very VERYY good.

david.
