Fuel Economy of your DC5 Type S

[alexai.dc5-s]

Hello Guys,

Just wondering how many k's you get on a full tank of 98 octane premium unleaded fuel on your type s. My average is around 400k's (stock motor) and I have a mate who gets 500-600ks (full catback exhaust and headers) how does that work?


Can someone please help??


thanks.

Maybe he drives like a grandma? i've owned DC5S also in the past and DC5R i could only get an average of between 400 - 430 kms


Your friend could be driving with the petrol light on for 80kms on empty?

yeah its odd because i can easily get 280-300ks on the first half but the whole tank is around 400??

I have to completely disagree. I have an 05 type s. I get 500-500km and the petty light has just turned on.

I basically drive cruisey and shift at 3k rpm .. hit high revs maybe once a day if that, and on weekends, i drive it harder and hit up RNP weekly. consistently 500-550klm a week. I run 98 bp ultiamte only. This was the case on stock motor / injencai+todaheader+spoon n1. its funny, cos my gf's dc5 luxury can get 500k klm on petty light turning on - she doenst thrash it at all, but it is an auto.

hmm weird hey ive never got 500kms on any of my cars, DC2R, DC5R, EP3, DC5S lol maybe i just drive it real hard? only unless i do lots of freeway driving then Ill get 500kms

I run 98oct on all my cars owned and service car every 5000kms

How is your drving habit? what about your left foot? Sometimes when i give it a heavy foot to like 6 or 7k (this is in 2nd to 3rd) and when i go from 3rd-4th-5th-6th; i dont even accelerate... I just cluytch in and out until I hit 6th gear. Just have a quick method of releasing the clutch and grabbing it also so revs dont drop at all.

my gf's usually get 400-450 on bp ultimate on a fully bone stock type s, dont use other fuel cause its even worse ! LOL

i get around 500km's to a tank of city driving/little hiway using shell V-Power.. about 10km per litre but if all hiway driving 600+km's isnt out of the question..

[r3ckless]

Thats pretty good matt! I noticed on other cars vpower burns quick!

BP Ultimate FTW!...
I get between 400-480 on daily driving...
FWY driving i can get 550-600+ Done this before when i drove up to Bright (Wangaratta)

[.k.]

i beat you all! 650km to a full tank in my dc5r with intake header and exhaust. but i baby my car <3 shift under 3k ftwwwww. this is all city driving too woo

Isnr casino like a more spreadout city than sydney?

I have tried many times drivng an entire week and shifting under 3k... Cant resist temptation when you have A hot exhaust note lol. Im sure if mune was a stock setup i wouldnt rev it lol..
