The Term "Petrol hungry cars" can be very wild, so in your standard how much Litre/100kms is too hungry for you mate thats the question.

So if you want a car that need next to nothing to run buy:

"Smart 4 Two" A.K.A Smart-car

Echo

Yaris

Getz

Swift

If you don't want a small or a compact car but yet uses less fuel then:

Camry

Aurion

VE commodore

Accord Euro

New lancer

If you want a car that have a sporting looks or go fast feel but yet retain some sort of fuel economy then:

Mini

FTO

Civic Type-R

Integra Type-R

350Z

Non turbo Version of R34,R33,R32, WRX Rs, Supra

if you can keep your foot out of it and drive sedately it will be MUCH better than a rotor.

I have a wagon that will chew 60lt of 98 octane petrol in 290k if I drive it wild. sedate it will do 550 on the same tank.

a 34 NA is no more fuel guzzling than a 6 cyl commodore...and should definately be much better compared to a rotor.

althought my mrs gets 500-600 a full tank fuel using the cheaper ethnol blends.. FYI the NA auto RWD dynoed at 160hp @ rear wheel this is after a major service and tune as well

They are decent for a six cylinder with mine getting about 10liters per 100kms on average, thats better than my 2006 hilux ute which is a 4cylinder. I wouldn't waste your time getting an na (thats wat i have) nice car and all drives great, but is pretty slow and also don't get an auto (extra slow). A manual might be alright, but power wise i raced my old r31 manual with just extractors and exaust against my stock auto 34 and there was nothing between them, over 120km the 34 would flog it. You would probly get a bit better fuel economy out of the manual version as well.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
