Average L/100k's...L@@K

[sikford]

Went for a drive down to Phillip island yesterday and managed to get the car to 9.1 liters per 100k's which is as low as i could get it on the way there and on the way back it sat on 10.0 comfortably with abit of traffic around and alot of roadworks which didnt help. i thought that car did alright considering it normally sits on about 13.5 or so. What has been the best YOU have gotten Your car to? Don't post up how "oh my mate got his car to 6.4L/100k's" but how you have gotten your car to go. Around town or on a trip, i am hoping to get it under 9 when i go away later this year.

sx tx rwd territory 11.5l/100kms

[GTP owner]

8.9 for a trip to Burnie and back in the xr6t. Over 700km for 1 tank in a land barge.

[GS608]

12lt to brisbane and back, 13.5-15 around town depending on how lead footed i am.

[Smoke Pursuit]

FG XR6 Utility, 7.9 litres per hundred coming back from warwick... Reset all the trip functions when fueling up in warwick, after 170 kms it was sitting on 7.9....

[sikford]

damn there not bad results at all, good work on the FG gawd

[sikford]

if i can manage over 700k's to a tank when i go on holidays later this year ill be happy

[burnz]

9.5 Rwd SY TS Territory (Coffs Hbr -> Sydney)
10.5 BF GT (Sydney -> Wollongong)

I routinely manage to keep it at 8.5 l/100km during trips going on LPG!

This is the computer average consumption estimation confirmed at the pump.


This weekend I drove 350km and it cost me only ~$12, my mate was driving behind me in his Pegout 207 turbo diesel and paid ~$16 for the same trip- how good is that

[sikford]

10.5 for a GT aint bad,damn

[Luke3000]

Get 15 to 18 around town in Dad's prado, god thats bad, even with a soft foot.
The bad consumption is apparently offset by toyotas massive 180 litre fuel tank...

it would be a rather heavy car tho i would assume

[sgt_doofey]

5.8L/100km in the 307. Turbo Diesel FTW!

In the Falcon, I get roughly 12.5L/100kms on LPG.

[Bakis]

I just got 10.5L/100km from my Xr6 ED, pretty much as light footed i can be only better if i down more hwy km's, i didn't really do much. I filled up 32 litres and had done 304km on the tank . Def notice a more increase in consumption even with a little bit of a heavy and more enjoyable driving.

[Spudz27]

In the work triton on lpg = 20l/100km : it has 140ltr lpg but you only ever get to use 130ltr before it dies.

In my Futura I wouldn't have the faintest, odometer and trip computer does not work so I just fill up when I need to. I have a lead foot and would hazard a guess at 15l/100km round town, definately 10l/100km sometimes less on country trips, I know how many k's it is to my mums and so can tell by how many litres it takes when I fill up.

[sikford]

that alright for an ED

[PoMmYwOG]

In my xr6 i got down to 8.6L/100 on the freeway and about 13L/100 city driving before the exhaust mods, since i got the exhaust i havent been keeping track of it, just waiting for the computer to adjust a bit first.

7.9l/100km is my best 100% highway - 4 speed BF on 95 octane, 110kph with frequent overtaking :evil3:

LPI being fitted tomorrow - once fitted I might do the same trip again to wear-in the injectors and see what figures gas gives me!

[Fireblade]

15L/100km in my F6 on average, with a mix of long and short drives and also some spirited driving when I get the chance Best Ive seen with the 300+ tune 8.8L/100km with a very very light foot ;)

[sikford]

nice work F6 FOON...power and economy when needed, i like

thats a good effort. what did u get out of a tank?

[andrewts]

I managed 9.6L/100km in a stock ED with A/C and 400-500kg of load from Sydney to Melbourne running premium unleaded, with the occasional hard push too. I was pretty happy!

[Dazza XLT]

My BA Styleside Ute will sit on 9lt/100klm all day long on the highway, even with the bullbar up front.
The BF Trayback struggles to get under 11lt/100klm on the highway.

yeah i had the A/C crankin all the way to and from the island and it still managed to go alright, i always have the climate control on tho, cant remember the last time i didnt use it.lol

Series II AU XR6 with VCT - drove 700 kms to a tank of fuel! hows that?

drove from where I live to Cooma 700kms and from Cooma to 2 hrs north of Sydney (my destination) I got there on two tanks, and there was quite a bit left when I arrived - maybe 1/3rd tank

My AU might not be the fastest thing out there but imho it barely sniffs the fuel

BTW : It was carrying 2 adults 2 kids fully laden boot, back parcel shelf and area between two kids on back seat

my BAxr6t which I havn't reset its stuff has settled to around 12.5l/100 average this is a mix of highway round town overtaking etc etc... I don't think this is too bad a figure either

I've traveled 620kms out of a 70L tank of LPG in the EL once. Adelaide to Mildura and half way back again. I probably could have gotten another 10-15kms out of it, but I needed to overtake and running on LPG produced a dramatic slow down when pressing the loud pedal due to running on vapours.
That's a nice, flat drive for anyone wanting to test fuel consumption. Nice and scenic around the Riverland too!
Never have managed to reproduce that drive, ever. The wife moved back from Mildura not long afterwards, so I don't drive up there anymore.

The Peugeot got us from Murray Bridge to Melbourne on 3/4 of a tank of diesel there last year. There were 5 of us in the car as well, so not too bad.

Best I've ever gotten in the focus was 5.8L/100 going down to Phillip Island at 1am. Had I kept going I probably would have gotten around 800-850k's out of that tank! Always run on 98, and I'm not scared to poke the loud pedal, so I average around 8.5-9 nowadays, which is 100% city driving.

Also got a BA falcon ute on dedicated gas for work and the best I've ever seen that at was 22.1L/100ks!!

[Burnout]

Took a run from Ipswich to Coffs Harbour via the Gold Coast last year, came back through Casino Beaudesert 8.8L/100km. I was impressed!
Been on a couple of trips since, best I can get is 9.4L/100km. With my Camper Trailer on the back, (490kg or there-a-bouts), I get 9.7 - 9.9L/100km.

[Road_Warrior]

2004 BA XT with 118K on the clock got as low as 8.8L/100klm from Perth to Carnarvon (roughly 1000klm). That's with sporadic use of the aircon and a little bit of furious overtaking.

Climbed up to 9.8L/100klm on the trip back with the aircon on all the way and going a bit faster.

Around town in Summer it will hover around the 11.3L/100klm. It's on 10.5 at the moment and climbing.

EDIT: I should clarify that this was over the Christmas break.
