Your Fuel Consumption

[michy]

what's your average fuel consumption and how do you normally use your car?

i was told my R33 GTS-4 would do about 11L/100km. i'll normally be using my car for short trips to the train station during weekdays (peak hour, so i can get to work in the city.. ughh...) and longer trips across melbourne over the weekend. do you think 11L/100km is a realistic average?

You didn't have to create a new thread for this! Should've just asked the question in your original thread.

But yes 11L/100km sounds normal for a non-turbo.

In my turbo GTST I get 14 litres per 100 KMs...

[GTST98]

best ive ever got in my r33 gtst is bout 10.5l per 100 on highway , with good pod filter in box and cai ,and a very light foot that trip.

In my turbo GTST I get 14 litres per 100 KMs...

Lol that's like what I get with my 31, basically stock and N/A

Grannying it around mostly also

My R32 GTST gets 10L/100km ..... the best ever was approx 8.5-9L/100km ...

Its a completely stock car though ....

My GTR averages 15 to roughly 24L per 100, depends on the road

My supra around town is about 14L unless im being good with the throttle, but it uses next to nothing on the highway with constant throttle

My berlina uses 10L MAX around town, and basically runs on a drop when its on the highway

See the pattern? The more boring the car the less petrol it uses

45 litres gets me 300k's with 184rwkw 33gtst. And i never drive to conserve fuel

400-450klms for 50 - 55 ltrs - r33 gtst

hmm.. dunno if this is the right thread, but how much difference does a good pod filter make to fuel consumption?

[SS8_Gohan]

low 11's / 100km. R34 GT-T, manual. full 3" stainless exhaust, manual boost controller. Tyres constantly at 38-40psi

But that's just burbs driving, mainly 60km/hr. So full city stop/start driving, 11.low/100

If i do some trips with some 100km/hr limits, i can get into the high 10's.

Never payed attention to how much my car takes but i've gotten almost 300km to a tank but usally arround 210-280 depending on how i drive and i've used up arround 1/4 of a tank hauling ass to work in 15 minutes or a little less, all i know is that i had to ease off a little 3/4 the way their because i saw the exaust temp light on (take that you sorry ass excuse for a turbo).

I'm not trying to brag, but one thing I always find puzzling about these fuel economy threads is that I get better fuel economy in my stagea than many people get in their skylines. Same engine, and more weight in the wagon (they're about 200-250kg heavier) and AWD and yet I'm getting 11-12L/100km driving to and from work (~30-45min drive). My car's not slow either (see my sig).

Obviously being in Adelaide the traffic isn't as heavy here but the difference shouldn't be more than 1-2L/100km at the most.

I would expect skylines to get less than 10L/100km or at least around 10-11L/100km in daily driving.

My stagea was doing 13-14L/100km when I bought it (stock) and with an exhaust, apexi SAFC, some ignition timing and a good tune, its now doing 2-2.5L/100km BETTER even though I'm running higher boost.

Hopefully you can improve your fuel economy too

full tank in my NA r33 gets me about 300kms

and i don't drive to save money

[stolen_s15]

My 33 gtst gets on average 200km per tank. O2 sensor has been replaced but 90% of my driving is in peak hour around the inner city, plus I think my tune might not be as lean as it can be.

[nuffsaid]

About 12-13L / 100km in a R34 GTT, 185rwkw.

Mix of city and freeway, usually short trip drives.

[dan.1337]

i'm getting between 16-17l/100km.

i can smell fuel inside the car...so not sure if everything is ok =|

[jimmytim]

I do very, very short trips (~5/6mins in the morning to work and same back home...could be three minutes if no traffic around...I could walk, but can't be bothered...it's cold in the morning anyway)

Around 14~18l/100km R33 GTS-T.
