I put in $40 last week on wednesday, and i have gotten 320kms out of the tank and i have just under a 1/4 of it left, giving it a thrashing maybe 5times odd a day...

Pretty good, considering i only put unleaded in too... Then again im NA

However i used to only get 220-230kms MAX out of a tank when running premium, until i changed my o2 sensor.

I found Shell Optimax gives better economy then BP Ultimate does. I'm happily using that now, it's right next to where i work so it's convenient too.

are you serious i am the opposite i cant stand opticrapz was crap in the pulsar and crap in the skyline... my cars just dont seem to like the stuff.

I didn't notice any difference. It used to make the exhaust smell but it doesn't anymore. I've heard people say that BP Ultimate and Optimax often comes from the same refinery and they just put in different additives. Either way, i'm not having any problems with it

i found that both cars got around about 20 - 40 kms less with similar driving with both ultimate and opticrapz. Also it may just be in my head by the skyline also doesnt feel as though it has as much power with opticrapz could just be me and probably is but meh i go with what makes me and the car happy :(

i just filled up after doing 430k's and got 50l's in it..  

so should i still have 10l's left in the tank?  

seems like i got a few k's outta 50l's when iv had a few drags and given it a bit the last few days

yea thats pretty good i generally get about 410 - 430 off of 48 - 53 litres and i am happy with that. also yes that does mean you have another 10L's left. I can drive around with the orange light on for a good 50 - 60kms and still only be at 55 - 58L

Orange light? Why dont I have an orange light?

lol either

1 - you are not running it low enough how many L's do you normally put in stevie.

2 - your fuel level gauge may be broken. I am not sure exactly which light it is on the cluster but its one of the ones on the left hand side. just go look during the day and you will know which one should light up

Should be near the "E" of the gauge, just out of the sweep of the needle

Well i've run it down pretty low! I bet the warning light has just blown or something pathetic like that. I want a warning light!

I usually put in about 50. And thats when the gauge is reading very empty. I know its a 60L tank so maybe my gauge is reading it empty ten litres to early??? I dont know...

i'm only getting 360km out of a 60L tank.

Term, I've found out that my Stagea goes through the petrol with short trips and city driving. But on the highway it's fine.

I think it's cause of the auto box and short trips when cold (cold = rich).

I wonder if you could put gas on one of these.. lol

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
