Most intelligent post on this thread.

If you can't afford fuel, maybe you should re think the car you purchased!!

Grey Skys,

My car has a fuel light, I'm sure your's should too, maybe it doesn't work:(

Adam 32, Is that why you sold the R32, to save money on fuel?

I just want to save more , money doesn't come from sky you know, if you can save why not ?

Erik, the best way to save money on fuel is to get a computer that has closed loop control, unfortunately this cost money:(

i used to consistently get about 380 out of my tank and if anyone has seen me drive then thats pretty good consumption for me. I reckon i would pull about 430 or so with driving nicely, but then why did i buy a sklyine in the first place

erik i think if you get your plug gaps right and your afm cleaned and everything else cleaned and adjusted correctly etc like a good service and tune and clean up etc. then because you car will be running like a dream you wont have to have your foot so close to the floor all the time to get the same performance out of it (sometimes its easier to make it more efficient than more powerful)

oh yeah also i dont know what mods you have but make sure you take all that into consideration when you think about how much fuel the car uses and also take into account what mods other people have when listening to their consumption and thinking your car is crap on fuel

thats what happens to alot of people when they dont consider all the factors.

some people live far away from work (STRICH9) and would possibly see better consumption. others live close and choose to leave late everyday and then flog the pants off the car without realising because the only concern is "get to work on time" and then when the fuel is almost gone at 300kms its like "WHAT THE FCUK HAPPENED TO THE FUEL"

so yeah i cant remember where i was going with this so I will stop now.

its only 12:37... i am definately ageing
