How far on a tank??

99FalconS · 22-09-2006, 09:15 PM

I know this has been covered in other forms before but how many Ks should i be getting per tank of fuel? I do a mix of highway and around town driving and get about 420K per tank of fuel.

Is this ok or should i be getting more?

420 is right if you have a heavy foot
Could squeeze a bit more if not

Seems around average to me but i am sure some will disagree with me lol.

I get anywhere from 400-500 kms for a tank. Depending on how i drive it. The harder the drive it, the less kms i obviously get. On average i get about 450 with a bit of highway driving to and from uni.

Depend on how heavy your foot is, the state of tune your car in, what mods have been done to the car.

mines gives me 550-600 thats home-jcu driving.
700kms innisfail-home(tville)-jcu
DTE read 900 when i filled up at shell but dropped quickly...lol

good luck just use less of your right foot, if you ever coast keep it in gear it uses less fuel that way, get the tickford or BA XR6T snorkel if you dont already

Thanks for the replys.

I am not that heavy footed but i also dont nurse it.

I have got the sports exhaust and extractors on it :thebirds: .

It seems that some of you think 420ks per tank is ok but some seem to get neare 500ks per tank.

We get about the same in our wagon - average around 450ish. Was around 400 but new O2 sensor seems to have picked up a few kms per tank. And it will do Can-Syd-Can return on one tank easy (around 550 return trip). Have also done Canberra to Kalcallow (sp?), just outside Melbourne, on a tank. That's around 660km - still had 75km DTE, but didn't want to risk it in city driving conditions.
