Last 2 tanks ive been getting a worst of 414 @ 52 litres and then 435 @ 52 litres. The 414 had heaps of thrashings and even a few with the 435. Half tank on these i was getting between 200-220. Now im driving like a granny, and the current tank i have 240 and its still just above half.

if you get 200kms from either the top half or bottom half of the tank your doing very well.

melbourne seems to have better petrol than sydney - i always read skyline melbourn'ites averaging over 400km a tank which is around 12l/100km's, which is doable i guess...im more 12.5-13l/100km. around 400km is my average.

i have powerfc, 13psi boost, full exhaust & hiflow cat, front mount, hiflow filter element. the powerfc makes a large difference, before the PFC i was averaging about 350km per tank.

i get just around 400 and i thought that was shitty... 1st half usually goes quicker as I fang it, then realise after 1 day i have already used a half tank and take it easy.

worst I ever got was 210km out of a tank.... got 185km out 60L on an STi once :( redline the whole time almost.

I almost always get 400km and drive till the fuel light is on. She's an auto and i'm not afraid of the GO pedal, best has been 520 on a country drive with some WOT. Worst was 270, all with a cat back and no noticeable difference with modded ECU more boost and pod filter.

I smashed my previous fuel consumption record (552km from 63L = 11.4L per/100km). It now stands at 622km from 60L = 9.6L per/100km, I could have pushed it to up around 640km but I didn't want to risk it because I was about to turn onto the M2 and wasn't sure where the nearest servo would be off any of the exits hehe.

I got the 622km just by driving from Penrith -> Canberra -> Penrith -> Seven Hills. I was using Shell Optimax with a standard airbox, standard airfilter, standard turbo, 7psi boost and it was pretty much about 550km of pure 110km/h highway driving (5th gear doing 110km/h @ 3,100rpm) and 72km of normal driving (happy laps around Canberra Summernats). and 1 extra passenger with luggage (around 160kg more than I normally carry).

I'm pretty happy with that result because its still only the standard ECU so with a PowerFC and a good tune im sure it would go beyond 650km but I won't know until 2005 when I go to the Summernats again hehe.

I get round 220-240kms on half tank, but i dont usually throttle too hard (too many cops in my area). Got apexi pod, custom hiflow cat and cat back 3.5 inch, AFC. Car's poorly tuned atm. Dont know why, but when I do go hard the fuel difference is not very much, prob drops to round 200kms on half tank. Always thought that my car drank too much for the amount of go it gave compared to a mates 180.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
