Mon, 20 May 2002 04:58 TRACTION_ISSUES wrote on Mon, 20 May 2002 10:07 AM Im constantly geting 450-500km on 47-50L of fuel . Go the frugal 1G!!! That's not too bad I guess. I get around 500km for half a tank. I think my tank is 70L. I couldn't be stuffed getting the manual out right now. Quote: Heh, I probably beat most people here then... Best I ever got was 13.4L/100km with a tank of 1/2 Hwy, 1/2 City. I always get 400km to 65 litres (give or take 20km) of Optimax. Tank size is 80L. It also doesn't matter if I drive like Max, or drive normally, I still get the same economy. It's bizarre. If anyone has any suggestions to lower this horrendous fuel use of mine, please speak up ! Same as me. I drive hard, or drive granny, doesn't seem to make a diff. Glad to see I'm not the only one. As for fuel economy, ummm... dunno. I don't know the condition of your car, or even what car you drive, (probably a soarer ), so: *Check tyres are inflated to correct pressure. *Service the car. Tune it up, new plugs maybe. Put in some mobile 1 if you don't already. *Maybe get an EFI if you have a carby. Only if it's possible/affordable. *Reprogram the turbo/SC to not boost as much if you have one. *Turn off the aircon/other electrical devices not needed. Extra load on the alternator will drain power from the engine. *If you have two fans on the radiator, see if you can get by with just one. *Get a slightly larger exhaust system from stock and extractors. But you probably have that already. *Drive easier. Doesn't seem to hold true to either of us though. *If it's auto, use overdrive, and turn off the pwr button. *Take out all un-needed weight. Clean out the glove box/boot/backseat/floors. *Last resort, trade it in on something else. The above is pretty generic in some places, and most likely can be ignored. [Report message to a moderator]
