Fuel Efficiency Question - 1993 lude

[vtk94lude]

i got 150km to 50 litres last week with me driving hard everywhere hehehe.

bahaha your car needs a tune then.

Home -> Phillip Island, race the whole day, and drive back, is 335km altogether. 113km from my place, thats 226, 109km roughly worth of track time thrashin my bitch(never drops below 5500rpm. and i get home with enough fuel to drive my to the city 20min, and back.

hmm, running stock ecu/fuel map. but wiht bolt ons.

since the petrol price rock up, i relised that lude is the most fuel uneffective cross the honda beside s2000.

a full tank of 95+ will only last 380kms. and that was when i driving like grandpa...
my car is a 99 VTI-R auto....

how about yours?

I'd say ur car is stuffed, my lude does more than 650 per tank and thats with the occasional boot.

[BOV]

well i got mine fully serviced every 5k's.

but in recent even, it become a bit friendly now...average 450km for a tank.

may be the quaility of the fuel? i was using shell and switch to BP

[Moya]

How big is the Prelude VTI-R manual fuel tank?

[azjs]

60L

-az

[PRELUDECRAZY]

r u sure 650 k cuz my friends d5c r only duz bout 500k goin slowas

[BOV]

mine is 55L tank....

i think sometime the quailiy of the fuel may differ, such as mix with some king of cooking oil ( what is that thing call again?)

only 50kms difference in a whole tank. i actually experienced it myslef

[Moya]

For a 4cyl, anything sub 600KM for a 55/60L tank is pretty bad.

This does give me something to think about, I'm upgrading from a Lancer which gives me a touch under 500 for 35L. I used to own a commondore, and it's 500KM for 60L PISSED me off.

Maybe I should rethink and go a Type R

[BOV]

if you want to save money on fule get a 3cyc car, that will save you more.

more power=more fuel

[bigteethygrin]

not necessarily mate..

I've seen an approx 120kw (at the wheels) h22a prelude that has a fuel economy of close to 600 kms per fillup.

Its all in the tuning matey.. and the programmable ecu that lets you tune it.
