It's good to keep an eye on your economy though, I don't drive a 3L R32 and a Stagea because I want to save fuel.. but if you're doing long trips then it's good to get the most out of each tank..

With the Stag, done several trips down south so far and I get ~600km to a 65L tank (~10.8L/100km), not bad for a 240awkw 2 tonne bus.

Around town I'm struggling to get 400km to a tank.

Oh and it seems to be more efficient at 140 than 110 :D

My skyline averages ~11.3L/100km with about a 60:40 split for city:freeway driving.

Details can be found in the excel file:

Pretty stock car and I don't boost often [very light foot].

I love visual representations of stuff so I've done the excel spreadsheets for all 3 cars I've owned ;)

That being said, there's some shocking fuel economies in here... do you guys run full throttle off every set of lights or something :verymad: ?

Well i have now gone through half a tank in my R33, and have managed just under 200km's. I've been driving my car sooo softly, chaning gears at 2500rpm approx., keeping the turbo off-boost.

I think im going to be booking it in for a tune quite soon.....

i got around 12.5L/100km's on stock boost just city driving with the occassional squirt, now on 10psi I get around 13.5L/100km.

Last tank i got 11.6L/100km's but that was cause half the tank was used on a hills cruise :D

I imagine purely freeway driving you'd get 9-10L/100km which is fairly good.

yeh i didnt modify to get good fuel and am not really complaining about what i get. but u always want more for your money.. and econemy is how u get that.

if i give my throttle a little blip at idle i get bulk black fuel smoke out the back. and all my driving is off boost and around 3500rpm changes. and it takes about a week for the bumper to start showing signs of a rich car.

oh well... thats just the way it is.. i hope my 26 has a slightly leaner tune.

After fitting the new fuel pump & reseting the stock ECU, with the latest batch of fuel, my fuel economy seem to have increased a bit into the 11.xL/100km range :thumbsup:

EDIT: That now puts it on par with the plain Camry

    • Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor. 
    • wedding eh.....I seem to get to more funerals than weddings or christenings these days....
    • Yep, cheapest options, neglected and abused. The fastest way to dislike a car is to get assigned that model by a budget rental company  
    • The noise complaint could be from absolutely anywhere, and anyone. Get it actually noise level tested to find out if you're actually over, or if you're fine. If you're over, quieten it down. If you're under, carry the test results in the car with you.
