Rolls Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Balance fuel costs of an rb? What?

Hanaldo Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 no you don't Under 10L per 100 isn't that outrageous, I get under that as well. Usually about 9.5L per 100.

abr33 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 no you don't Absolutely do, I recon id get even down to 8.5-9 on a highway. Its tuned quite lean at cruise, as far as it can without being dangerous. Down side i can only use 98+ octane fuel. But even if i drive hard in traffic i get about 11-12 :-) Alot of WOT and the fuel goes down as the speedo goes up lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/381350-thread-for-my-car-problems/page/42/#findComment-6396732 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilcrash Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 If my car was that good on fuel I wouldn't be considering the $1500 trade in value on my car for an aurion.

If you did that I could believe it, but with stock O2 feedback unless it is entirely highway kms with basically no boost Im sceptical.

lilcrash Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 $1500 is pretty bad but what choice have I got, no one wants it and I can't strip it, if I trade it in the finance just gets re evaluated and I get a new car.

75coupe Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I reckon lots of parts could be sold to make alot more than $1500 it all depends how much you owe on it... you dont want to end up being in debt for more than the asset you have on hand is worth, thats just silly...

No, i am being unfair in not mentioning im running map haltech e11v2 and im running a t04z so I dont get good boost till 3k and solid boost untill 4800 revs so its easy to not use alot :-) A lot of my driving is main roads/highways but lots of hills... even in citys i still get under 12 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/381350-thread-for-my-car-problems/page/42/#findComment-6397760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
