360 kms full tank? DC5S? tell me whats up

[Shraka]

You can get more if the missus dont mind pushing or you like the 2 hour wait for the NRMA.

Or you could just carry a can with some petrol in the boot just in case.

But don't do this, it's bad for an EFI car.

[Nepolian]

Who does that, its too practical. I have a way out suggestion.......PUT PETROL IN YOUR CAR!!!!!

[dc5.taiger]

are u carrying like a dead body in ur boot?
weight= more petrol consumption

[Dr.k20z1]

HHAHAHAHAH nice comments guys..

where do i get 98RON petrol then? so BP ultimate isnt the go?

i do use 5th and 6th alot and always change b4 4000revs so mmm..

but the ecu thing.. i wudnt have a clue haha dont wanna screw up the car LOL so ill just try the different fuel as soon as som1 tells me where to get 98RON so yeah...

as goes for tire pressure ill check that today hehe early start for me.. 4:21AM! FTW haha

[m0nk3y]

All else fails disconnect the main battery terminal

I find BP Ultimate is the best petrol anyway, both in economy tests and observation.

I don't think switching between 98 ron petrols will give you a massive increase in economy. You're dealing with about 10% improvement from 91 RON to 98 RON for crying out loud! I don't imagine you'd get more than a 2% increase between 98 RON petrols.

My first step would be to figure out your L/100km! Here's how:

1. Get a notepad and pen and put it in your car.
2. Fill your tank up, and re-set your trip computer / meter.
3. Drive until you feel like filling up. This doesn't have to until the tank is empty.
4. Fill up your tank, and write down how many liters it took
5. Write down how many km/s you've done off your trip computer, then re-set it.
6. Do some simple math. Divide the km/s by 100 to get your 100km/s traveled, then divide your liters by your 100km/s traveled and you have your ltrs/100km. I used the calculator on my phone so I didn't have to sit there figuring it out in my head at the servo.

Repeat steps 3-6 a few times to get a feel for your car. Perhaps drive try driving really sedately one fill up, then drive harder another and put notes next to those results. Try doing a freeway trip and see how that effects your economy.

Once you've done this you can actually compare your numbers.

i was told that.. when changing from one petrol to another (like BP to caltex) to do an accurate test you need to reset your ECU aswell

Do not reset your ECU.

Simply run the same fuel for about 3 full tanks of normal driving to get the best out of a type of fuel.

[aaronng]

Yeah, you'll get worse fuel consumption when you reset your ECU between fuels. Just run 3 tanks of the same fuel to get the proper fuel consumption numbers before switching to the next.

[maracer]

I get between 400 worst fully V-tecing and 546 is the best I’ve done both before fuel light comes on!

[freakygeek]

reason u only get below 400 is uv been using VTEC at times, everytime u use vtec it consumes a lot of petrol, so if u want to get more than 400kms barely use VTEC (VROOO PRAHHHH), happened to me b4 so i stop using VTEC prolli every 2 weeks just to warm it up,

To warm what up??!
