How Far on a Tank

[Spiderman]

Hey Everyone,

I normally get about 320km from a full tank , but a few weeks ago i serviced the car and for the last two tanks i have done over 400km, 420km the last one.

Thats 100km more per tank.

How many Km's per tank do other people get, if we get enough reponses we can find out the average.

[benm]

On average about 400km.

This involves a 10km roundtrip to work which has 14 sets of lights and probably 30km of freeway driving/week.

My best is up around 535km (Cessnock Cruise afew weeks back) or so but i almost ran my lil biatch dry :bahaha:

I always seem to fill up with around 57-62L

I run my car on 7psi boost with 186rwkw and hit speed and rev limiters often

Yeah I usually get about 450km's on a full tank. Mind you, I never really let it go till the light comes on. I did an oil and filter change a couple of weeks ago and my 2 tanks since then have been better. I've hit 400kms with 1/4 of a tank (according to the guage) to go. I suppose it really depends on a lot of things like how hard you drive it, how you use the gears or overdrive, freeway driving vs stop-start, type of petrol you use etc. etc.

...and being an auto also helps :bahaha:

I get 380 ~ 400 from a 45 litre tank driving round the city/Northside

I got 500 out of the tank the day we went to the Hunter Valley for lunch (mostly freeway driving)

[Guest gts2thrill]

I get about 400km aswell.

[OSH13T]

I get roughly about 350kms to 400kms a week

Goes down to a 1/4 in like 4 days.

Oh yea, I also drive to city quite often, at least 3-4 times a week

[fatz]

i only every put 25 bux in cause optimax goes off after 2 days and the gtr starts to ping

25 bux takes me 180 k

Do you keep your tank toward empty or toward full for this?

[Bonkers]

Why don't you work out your fuel consumption in ltr/100km.

"How far on a tank" means jack ship.

My best 8.8ltr/100km.

Average 9.7ish/100km. Both daily driving.

Worst 25ltr/100km. - Team trackday.

[Edge]

mine does 15L/100km

today topped up 30.8 L for 200km exact! pure fluke on the 200km - currently I always top up to full tank using BP Ultimate 98.

[Edge]

This gives me an average just over 400km per tank from experience.

i used to get around 350 on optimax. city driving doesn't help much.

im just running my first full tank of petrol in it now, but i have done 136k's and its still over 3/4 full

[MRK25T]

I've been keeping track of my fuel consumption for some time now. Below is a link to the excel document I keep the information in.

After a while you'll be stuck into the boost at 16-18-20 psi and you can watch the fuel guage drop visibly...

I'm similar to Ben, bit heavier due to more mods, more pressure and I have my right foot buried in the firewall.

400km if lucky.

keep it bout half way and just under a 1/4

a full tank if i dont use it the car runs like a dog after day two

i thought i was just going crazy until the gf noted this point one day

using optimax i get around 300 - 320 km a tank

what kind of fuels are you guys using to get 400 - 450 km a tank

what fuels gives you guys the best mileage

cheers and happy boosting

[Knat]

I forgot to mention in my post that I've got a stock auto... Probably how I come out with such good averages. I generally only use Optimax these days, but have tried all the other premium (98 octane) fuels around. BP Ultimate seems to be ok all round and the Mobil version gives good performance, but not as good economy. Optimax is the best all round in my view. If I "ran my lil biatch dry", I'm sure I'd be around 500 a tank.
