What's Your Average Km To A Tank?

[Seano350GT]

So for the last few months i've been filling up at around 300km. I have an Injen CAI and no other engine mods.

I just filled up then and my needle was just above empty (i do realise that the needle is a little incorrect)

I filled up the tank today at 287KM and my car took 41L of fuel, i know the tank holds 80L but i have never driven the car to completely empty, in fact i don't think i've even done over 400km to the tank.. I feel so stupid because i've been filling up way before necessary, with the driving i do i should theoretically be getting close to 500KM to a tank.

Facepalm.

I got a fujitsubo exhaust only. I get roughly 600kms to a tank mostly highway, definitely more than 500kms a tank. I shift at roughly 3000rpm and rarely drive hard. Car has done 150,000kms

I usually get around 600km before filling which is usually just after the fuel light comes on. I usually manage 11.5L/100km in winter. And about 12.0L/100km in summer (heavy AC use in summer). Which gives me a theoretical range of 660-700km per tank.

All light city driving.

6MT sedan. With shell 95RON fuel.

I do mostly city driving, so i should be letting the car do 500km before refuelling. I always use vortex 98 too

I fill up at 400km. Never got 80 L back into the tank, but my gauge is broken, so I dare not risk it.

[Hadouken]

So by calculating your fuel consumption in the first post, you got 14L/100.

I am currently running flex and got 16L/100 on my last tank.

I usually fill at 1/4 left by which point there's 400km on the clock. Was avg 12l/100km. No ac, start stop traffic though. Stock as a rock.

After changing the diff fluid, this seems to be getting better. Now looks like closer to 10l/100km but we've been doing a lot of motorway Kim's during this season.

Mines stock and I got 730km driving from Sydney. Around town I get around 550 ish

Headers and exhaust from xforce, skunk2 plenum spacer, 245/30 R20 front - 275/30 R20 rears, cold air intake... I get about close to 400kms (roughly 14l/100km) when needles hits E ... I think its time for a tune... $$$!!!!!

That's impressive!

aha I don't even trust the needle anymore, i just watch how many km's i've done and where i've been driving/how i've been driving then fill up when i deem approprite. But this time i've going to let it run to 500 then refill and see how close to empty i am then.

I got 870-something driving to Sydney once. Just watched how heavily I brakes and accelerate.

[sonicii]

I have only done 1 highway trip in mine. Townsville - Yeppoon and return.

1 tank each way, about 740km. Low fuel light had just come on when I arrived in Yeppoon. After filling in Yeppoon, i still had 1/4 of a tank left when arriving in Townsville.

From memory, I averaged about 7.8L/100km overall.

[Seano350GT]

That is impressive! I need to get around to cleaning my fuel sensor it's on empty by about 350km. The fuel light makes me nervous even though i know i'm nowhere near out.

After reflashing with the Uprev software, my first full fill up on 98 till now was 790kms. Not even kidding. Will be interesting to see if this can happen again... :S

[Seano350GT]

Farrk Sam, these numbers are not expected of a "performance" or "sports" car.. something a yaris would do.

Cruise control 95kmh behind a road train?

[Seano350GT]

James sometimes an automatic with cruise control can actually be worse on fuel than a manual because of the constant gear changes. At least i know for a fact this is the case for the mid 2000 model Prado's.

Good question.. under want conditions did you get 790km from 1 tank? if it was highway KM, then this is about normal.. if it was city driving then it is very impressive.

I'm guessing that must be highway km unless he's driving a little 1.5L v4. Max i've gotten out of mine for highway km is about 700 and that's with a little bit of enthusiastic driving.
