Best highway fuel economy in your Falcon?

[93EB_SXR6]

Can get it down to about 10L/100km on long trips, more commonly gets 30L/100km pulling mainies on the weekends.

If only I was kidding.

Best in the GTP = 10.9 on a long trip.
Best in the xr6t in modified form is 8.1 L/100km for the same trip to Burnie and back.

If they are from the computer, how accurate are the readings.

I reset counter on fill up, fill the tank until it comes up the top of the filler neck. So if I filled up 68L and got 600km out of it that's how I work it.

I have an FG Xr6 turbo 11" model, with the 6 speed manual gearbox.

In 6th at 100km/h per hour the instant fuel consumption readout on the MFD displays about 7L/100km on a flat surface. Pretty happy with that since the it is a performance car and is a weapon

Wagon - 9.3L/100

Ute - 9.7L/100

Jeep - 13L/100 on LPG

Coupe - 180km/tank??!!! ($120+ to fill)

The ones I mentioned in my post where from the EMU. But, I think they are good enough. My process is to write the EMU readings on the back of the fuel card receipt, and then reset the EMU. From time to time, I will sit down and update an excel spreadsheet with all of the values (e.g. EMU calculated fuel burn, fuel burn calculated by fuel dispensed by the bowser). Occasionally I do scatter plots and post them to the Territory Forum.

This is a sample of the data from driving around town in the Territory diesel in bumper to bumper traffic.

EMU Fuel Calc Fuel
9.5 9.52
10.4 10.82
10.9 10.68
11.1 11.51
11.5 11.36
10.7 11.14

As others have pointed out, the Falcon will give very respectable fuel figures if one is gentle on the accelerator.

Everything I mentioned was calculated from actual fuel used. The dash readouts lie sometimes, mostly on the Fords
