R32 fuel mileage?

[StraightSix]

Just curious what fuel economy I can expect from a stock(ish) R32 GTS-t. Trying to decide whether to also get an MX-5 for a daily driver

Cheers

doing half freeway and half grneral road driving, i get about 450kms usually before the reserve. and that's not taking it easy either... i'm sure i could go over 550kms if i didn;t boost AT ALL

[funkymonkey]

well for comparison sake i do around 520k's to a tank of optimax in a lightly modified N/A.

Around 10km/l in my stock R32 GTSt. Drive easy most of the time and mileage will be pretty good. Drive hard all the time and expect to use at least 50% more fuel.

hwy around 8.5l/100km

city around 12l/100km

big difference eh?

[moo_r32]

i obviously need a tune, but 45L of premiun lasted me 348K's....not good! :flamed:

I only get 320-ish a full tank before the light comes on. (City driving).

only got exhaust, pod and fmic (boost at 0.8bar).

[Flaps]

I get about 420kms on a full tank of 98octane.

Thats on 10psi and not reving it hard.

[nissky]

410kms for 3/4 of a tank (32.5 litres) chasing a supra up and down mt hotham's alpine road

yes revving the hell out of it :aroused: trying to keep up in the straight bits

in my MX5

My cars stock except for cat back exhaust and i get between 450 and 480 kms from a full tank. Its when you wind the boost up that you start using a heap of fuel.

i drive 30mins back n forth from the city,

lucky to get 350km

im freaking out at ppl getting over 400km

i could drive like the biggest grandma, n mayb get 380km, if im lucky

[NFAA32]

i get around 550 ish i think from full to fuel light or there abouts.. this is driving not full city, but not highway, just general half town driving... it all depends on how you drive and how much you want to save your fuel.

See there's figures I can understand

8.5l/100km, that is not bad at all. Most of my driving is highway. This is at a steady 100km/h I take it?

For the rest of the figures, how many litres does it usually take to fill up? Then I can calculate the rest

well take into consideration the fuel capacity is 50L in an R32, and it should make more sense

u 100%? i was under the impression it was 60l

[funkymonkey]

i mist have a 10kg rock in my tank then. coz I can never put more than maximum 52L

[StraightSix]

Okay, I'll use 52L and go from there . . . thanks

R32 tank is 60L as far as the specs i've read.

my best has been 8L/100km between Sydney & Kempsey of all places. I was happy with that as that road is anything but a constant steady speed rd. bloody Princes Hwy...

city fuel economy is shytehouse weather i give it stick or cruize

[CerealKiller]

it's 60L but that includes the reserve tank which is about 8L

man my fuel consumption sucks compared to you guys...maybe I'm driving too hard...or need a tune.

[funkymonkey]

hmm that would make sense then as i always avoid getin the red light
