city driving is the answer. stop start traffic is as bad as thrashing it i reckon

+1 its worse Driving everyday stop start traffic i get like 250-300 tank if I drive normal condtions giving it to it bout half the time get like 450 atleast

i get around 320 in the full tank....guess mine is in the average mark....its just amazing how the same car has different fuel consumption...didnt expect so much difference...

Stop start traffic is a killer. I have mentioned before that my GTR which is mildly modded with over 260rwkw, I will get around 14ish l/100km but I am currently working only 4km from home and took the GTR for a week when the daily was being worked on and because the car wouldnt even get a chance to warm up I was getting 24 L/100km hahahaha must have a rich warm up cycle! I couldnt do it to the car for a long amount of time.

I average between 11.5 and 12.5L per hundred with mixed driving and under under 10 on Highway cruising, got 466km 2 weekends ago from just under 3/4 of a tank and this was loaded up with all our camping gear! This is in a r32 GTR with 300awkw

Took another measurement last week.

10.16L/100km

544.5km from 55.34L

Don't know why other NAs get worse. I do plenty of city driving.

I'm still running R32 GTS-T O2 sensor on NA R33 engine. 0w40 Castrol. Roughly 0.4 drag coefficient.

Anyone got any idea why my car would be running soo damn shit on fuel then?? Seems like everyone elses cars with turbos (I know they're not engaged all the time) are running heaps better.

Am going to check the air filter today, checked my tyre pressure last night

If you're experiencing bad fuel economy, try replacing the oxygen sensor if it hasn't been replaced in the last 50,000km (or if you don't know whether it has been replaced or not). $120ish item, extra 100km to a tank...and it's quite common for them to be worn out.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
