umm 265km from $55 petrol in a v6 ?

[pillzor]

whats wrong here? ive done cai and an catback exhaust yesterday.
ive also mixed some premium and chucked in some injector cleaner , what should i be looking for , fuel leaks or is it just premium and the new mods?
and yes ive had my foot down a bit but not 100km worth of petrol worth.

petrols been about $1.30 lately do ill do the maths and work out how many litres that is after.

[hako]

I think the problem certainly lies with your right foot.....

[TrikkBen]

I drive with a heavy foot and I get around 250 260 270 for my $55 bux worth, Thats in my VS, Extractors, 2.5 exhaust, CAI....

Wow thats terrible unless you're really flooring it everywhere. Is the auto slipping?

You talking to me or OP

[delcowizzid]

yip ive seen a fair few aldl logs and at WOT ALDL logs show fuel usage about 50L/100 so if you drive at WOT it will not last long

[acarmody]

I can beat that, when I floor it from the lights I've seen my dash say 99L/100km, thats the limit, don't go any higher. VX V6.

Sorry mate, talking to OP.

$55 @ $1.30/litre = 42.3 litres
265km from 42.3 litres = 15.96l/100.

that's not too bad. try granny driving 1 week. then try driving hard 1 week. then try and find a happy medium. i wouldn't use premium either, from what i found i didn't get any extra kms out of the tank.

[maldotcom2]

Does anyone know who sells 95 octane? Pretty much everywhere i go sells 91 (aka regular) or 98 (aka premium).

Correct me if Im wrong but normal premium is 95 octane, the only places that have 98 is BP (Ultimate), Caltex (Vortex) and Mobile.

since posting this thread ive found my fuel guage is being dicky, it was on the red and the light came on while driving.
i parked it and went off to do something then upon starting the car again it went up too just under quarter of a tank.
also trans doesnt slip one bit.

[maldotcom2]

Crazy.vr woolies petrol vortex is 98.

Ahh ok, I wish they'd write the octane on the pumps.

[AdamOne]

yeah im gettin around the same it sucks lol.. ive been told to look into gettin a new o2 sensor cos once they wear out your fuel economy apparently goes to shit... could be that?

[pillzor]

ive got a delcowizard memcal coming soon so ill see how we go after thats plugged in.

[Troy5L]

stop whinging mate! i got $300 outta a tank of petrol on a vr v6 and that was after i put a greenfoam memcal in it.. if your sooooo worried about using that much fuel in one tank then put it on gas..

[pillzor]

you have a $300 tank of petrol??? what , im not sure what u mean.
also im not worryed about burning through petrol as much as being worried that something might be not right.... get it?

[Tom_1569]

stop whinging mate! i got $300 outta a tank of petrol on a vr v6 and that was after i put a greenfoam memcal in it.. if your sooooo worried about using that much fuel in one tank then put it on gas..

$300 / 1.20 a litre = 250 Litre tank. Just curious where does the tank sit, or did you seal up your boot?

[pillzor]

haha drilled a hole straight through the boot into the petrol tank and just fills up the boot.

[S2_VR_]

heyguy's for the last week i beenusing vortex (aka 98octane)....and i reckon im getting heaps better Km/h's out of it....i a getting really good result's like heaps noticable


if you have a hit fuel filter can you get better consumption or a will a new oneprovide better consumption?....only reason i ask is cause i replaced the filter and filled up wit 98 octane at the same time. and yeah i dunno but i've gotten nearlly 420k's so far and got qaurter tank left............i do put my foot down occasionally...but yeah not that much... anyone else get good result from premium 98??

i did and i havent looked back, 45c/L with a docket ANY day of the week, i only get 300-350ish from a tank (normally about the 18-21L/100kms yes its shit economy) but it costs so much less

[chrrr]

I win!

I was doing 21.1L/100km for the last few months up untill yesterday when my trans finally packed in.

This was driving quitely also

[azkwazere]

I get minimum 400kms to a tank, everytime... thats with heavy ass right foot.

Standard tank, hardly any mods to drivetrain and 91octane. (5spd)

aZk.

[VRV8_Matt]

I usually get a minimum of 480k's from a tank in my vr v8.
