Petrol Usage

[Terminal]

i read for the R33 when i had mine, that the fuel light came on when there was approximately 7L left in the tank. one could assume the same for the stagea. i've driven for up to half an hour on my fuel light and not had a problem. helps to squeeze that little extra out of a tank

[AlexCim]

i never really bother. Under 1/4 and i fill up.

When installing the fuel pump, i was told the fuel tank design is different in the stagea in that there is a little "pocket" in which the fuel pump sits, meaning it is 100% the lowest point in the tank.

Ive driven around 2 days (~50km) with the light on and my 040 was still able to suck fuel up

[Ska]

Mine runs empty after ~32kms of the light, and my Nismo hi-flow pump hums happily away, just doesnt seem to suck anything

[Tangles]

With the current $150 price for 98ron fuel Im totally over petrol usage.

ie it doesnt matter, either way I'll be reamed when I fill it up.

couldnt agree more tangles

i filled up $91 the other day.... 66L... yepp... I KNOW ITS A 65L tank

REAMED

Thanks guys, I now have a little more confidence in running under the 1/4 tank mark.

Dunno how many litres but $68 for 98/10 from when the light came on.

Currently using 15or16/100.

Would like toget a kickback from AWB.

my last tank i got 19.6L/100Km

but i think my oxygen sensor is stuffed, so i'll be changing it in the next week or so

[munchstagea]

ok, first re-fill, some very varied driving including some babying (while I had an exhaust manifold leak that sounded scary) some highway cruise, on most drives I managed give it a poke in the guts once or twice, and one rip through a very twisty section of the Ocean Road late one night mid week after I fixed that manifold leak...

390km/51Litres

~13L/100KM

Not bad, I think it could do all right on a long open road trip, filled up with a bit under 1/4 of a tank and got the 51 Litres in so there was ~15L left if it is a 66L tank, that would have been close to 500km to a tank, that sounds all right to me.

I try to fill up around the 1/4 tank mark as it doesn't hurt so much, just more often I guess...

Cheers

Damn! i wish i was getting that kind of economy

[AlexCim]

i can get freeway 10L/100...but city CANT drop below mid 14's no matter how much i pussy foot it.

I get about 16's with a bit of fun... its really worth it.

Friday and "special" nights i get about 20

you guys using k&N drop in replacement filter? it should improve roughly by 14.7% on milage

[leetom]

550km's highway cruising

420-450km's around town, depending on what shoe I am wearing

consumption improved markedly with full exhaust upgrade & K&N filter

cheers

i've been averaging 16/17L per 100, then a few weeks ago when i last had my car, i had a freakish 13.4L/100km. i have no idea where it came from, but i'll see if i can do it again

[Ska]

Got my first 550km tank this week

add wat rpm is your engine revving at when doing 100kph?

[paulr33]

revving on the hwy is the fuel comsumption killer

its cycling through the load axis on the fuel map that waste's fuel.

as soon as you open any decent amount of throttle it will drop on the load map on the stock ecu and the afr's will richen up too all hell, which is where the economy goes out the window

if you do a full tank of 100km/h driving with a steady throttle you'll get some kick ass economy, assuming the narrow band sensor and 02 feedback is working correctly

3,000 on the dot

[munchstagea]

3,000 on the dot

Wow, 5 speed conversion right? Mine sits on 2,500 I am pretty sure, standard auto.

(V6 Commo sits on 1,500 probably explains the 9.3L/100KM I get out of it on a long trip...)
