Km's out of a tank

[kingscorp]

Hi Guy's

I was thinking of getting a Stagea for my misses. She currently has a Subaru Outback.

Just wondering what the fuel economy is like?

how big is the fuel tank and how many km's do you get out of it?

Fuel ecconomy is the only downfall of the Stagea

It stock form I wasgetting about 16lt per 100km... Which isn't the best.

Fuel tank holds about 60-65 litres if I'm right - anyone confirm that?

Not sure how well a fuel modifier (SAFCII etc) will combat that problem, but time will tell.

Wow, that's a fair difference from the R33, i'm getting about 12L per 100km, about 10L per 100 country driving.

[mcnamg]

official documents say 13l per 100 obviously being heavier it will be more than a skyline

the tank is 68 litres in size

Has anyone ever put anywhere near 68 litres in their tank? The light comes on and it's full with 45-50 litres. Is the fuel warning light on really 20 litres before empty?

[Jay95R33]

SK - once I drove for about 60km with the fuel light on (damn that light makes you paranoid ) then I managed to squeeze 62lt in her.

Usually I fill up when the light comes on and it takes about 57ish lt.

Maybe your light is sensitive.

Mcnamg, correct 68L is the tank capacity...and going by the Japan Ministry of Transport 10-15 mode fuel economy standard which is where you got your 13L/100km...they tested 7.7km/L (for 97/08-98/07 built models). For 98/08-01/09 built models the 10-15 mode tested 8.8km/L for the Neo RB25DET.

The other standard is the 60km/h road test which returned a 14.9km/L (data only available for 97/08-98/07 built).

In comparison the 10-15 mode test for the GT-Rs:

BNR32

89/08-93/01: 7.1km/L

93/02-94/01: 8.2km/L

94/02-94/12: 8.2km/L

BCNR33

95/01-97/01: 8.1km/L

97/02-98/12: 8.1km/L

BNR34

99/01-00/10: 8.1km/L

00/11-02/08: 8.1km/L

For all the GT-Rs (exculding the BNR34 - no data) the 60km/h road test returned 14.4km/L.

So by right you should be getting about the same and better for the Neo version.

[kingscorp]

so is that about 400 - 450k's per tank

That's if you fill it when the light comes on. It should go 520 k's before it stops. Stagea's are too heavy to push, so I'll continue to fill up when the light comes on. :Paranoid:

Funny story...

A friend of our's daughter (just on P Plates) was driving home from Uni when the fuel light came on. So she stopped immediately and called the NRMA. :elaugh:

Oh forgot to mention the 10-15 mode test should not be taken as the actual figures but rather 70-80% of the actual figure as stated by the Japan Ministry of Transport.

Thus 366.52km - 418.88km...but kingscorp guess is about right, well if your off boost most of the time.

[mcnamg]

i know with the fuel light on my wifes ford fairmont that the manual says that the fuel light comes on when there is only 90kms remaining in the tank this is measured at an average speed of 60 kmh. This means about 10 to 11 litres left in the tank.
