Well seems my car is about on par with what everyone else is seeing so fair enough. Will just have to run 98 for the longer cruises. 

I'll just have to put a big fuel cell in the boot for some extra capacity lol

I used 50L on Saturday on 98 (150kms)....

Used a lot of 3rd gear (5-6K rpm up and over the hill and back)...

Really? that's way more than I expected? That would be about what I used? 

Yep - I filled it with Shell 98 on the way out  and less than 1/8th of a tank left.  Haven't refilled to verify- but given it takes a bit over 60L - 50L is what I would expect.

I was probably working harder in the rev range to keep up....

My 25det neo with ~380 kw to wheel

Driving from perth to albany, i got about 450 km to a tank, on the light, maybe could have squeezed another 10 or so ks out of it.

No narrowband or wideband hooked into ecu/tune.

I think thats pretty good haha.

Bigger turbo with generally softer response sub 3000rpm and less restrictive turbine can all contribute to fairly respectable fuel consumption in those conditions, for sure.  I agree with Jared, pretty good result when you think what it does when the taps are opened.

Interesting. I've just been putting straight United Race Blend in it, though I notice the sensor never reads above 80% despite my testing showing 90+ with the basic water/shake in tube tester. 

Same, sensor tends to read around 79-80% (genuine gm continental). Only ever diluted it with 98 once, took ages to get back up to 79-80%

Yeah, if you run flex then it's really hard to get up to >80% if you aren't using straight ethanol - which means that it's also not too hard to keep it floating around 50-60% if you occasionally top up with a bit of petrol.

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
