R32 Gts-t Fule Consumption Questions

[linxus40]

Hey guys

My car has always used 13-13.5 litres of fule per 100K's in city driving. It is frustrating because it dosent matter if i drive like a granny or give it a bit of stik i get the same consumption.

This hasnt really bothered me much untill now as the price of fule means $20 is like 120-130K's.

The wierd thing is i just got back from a 400km round trip and i was amazed to see my consumption on the highway was like 10-10.5 litres per 100K's.

Could it be that my car is running to ritch that is why with lots of stop start driving i get shoddy consumption?

Oh yeah car specs is 3" exhaust, fmic, bigger turbo, 1 bar boost(not that boost maters much sice granny driving has no effect) pod, remaped computer, z32 afm, ebc.

Any insight or suggestions on how to bring city driving consumption down or if this is usual behaviour.

Thanks

fuel.....????

It could be that you are driving a sports car and cant compare it to a mirage or getz!!!! Its a pretty small engine in a largish car with not the best aerodynamics, 14 litres per hundred can be improved on but its not terribly bad

of course its gonna drop on the highway. lol

you're sitting at like 100-110km/h for long periods of time. the revs dont change...they stay steady

stop start city driving, even grandma style, the revs are constantly up and down, which means you'll use more fuel.

hey mate,

your getting okish figures there for those mods atm. the nissan manual states avg fuel consumption on a rb20de/t r32 should be about 12l/100km. my r32 gets about 13.5l/100km in city driving too.

youre just noticing it more because fuel prices really suck now (and prob are gonna stay that way from now on)

yeah.. they suck it around the city, as you tend to be on boost a fair bit to get enough power to drive about, accelerate from the lights etc. So mine is around same.. Highway its down to about 10L/100km which is pretty good for a 6cylinder.. so really - unless you drive all country, just deal

i have changed o2 sensor, etc but still fairly high.

mine gets around 10 - 11 litres/100km city driving, around 9.5 - 10 litres/100km highway...

i took it for a sprint day at QR yesteray, did 170km (which includes 44km of actual circuit work) and only used 20L... quite happy with that!
