dc5r eating petrol

noidea what 98ron is, but my mate uses v power? ill give it a run and ill get back to you guys

thats 98 ron.. 98 ron is high octane fuel like v power for shell and bp ultimate for bp..

[WATAJK]

Do keep in mind mate, 98 RON won't give you those figures always... If you just shifting at 3000-4000 RPM you should be getting figures towards 400-500+ Easily...

In my case im lucky to get 460km with no freeway driving as i love to push my ITR but then again thats the price you pay aswell when you've modified it to lol

As others have said "don't cheap out on these cars"

i have only ever used bp ultimate i my car....

first and foremost... for me, i believe out of all the 98RON fules, v power burns way too fast.. bp ultimate is the best imo.

But i get around 500km to my tank, but my reading is average of 9.0litres / 100km

i drive basically 250km cruising, and 250 spirited.

The other weekend, i went RNP and went up and down about 6/7 times... Gave it a good squirt! and i still got 500 km afterwards.

Also when you shift, the best time for shifting for power/fuel economy, i shift @ 3K

so shift anywhere from 2500-3000rpm. shifting around 2Krpm- dc5's struggle.

I also use a website called fuelly that tracks my fuel consumption; www.fuelly.com

I jsut punch in the price i paid for my fuel, the km i done, and the amount of litres i filled up. Tells me all this info and average consumption etc!

ull prob have to run 98 ron for a 1-2 tanks before it starts to show some improvement also.

BP Ultimate or Mobil 8000.
Mobil 8000 some reason pulls much better then Ultimate in my ITR but thats IMO...

Problem with Mobil is that there ain't to many of them around ..

I know its only a dc2r, but i put in $114 worth of BP ultimate (at $1.50 basically) that got me 1100kms. $114 = 76L = 14.4kms per L on the highway. I thought that was very very good.

lol, its actually 6.9km per L

Yes, use V-power, BP Ultimate, Caltex Vortex98 or Mobil 8000.

The reason you get high fuel consumption on regular petrol is because the ECU detects the beginning of pinging and it dumps in more fuel to protect the engine.

[Neesmo31]

Actually its what i said.

1100 kms using 76L
1100/76 = 14.47

To check, 14kms for 1L so 76 x 14 = 1100.

The 6.9 is L/100kms

I think...

my dc4 im getting anywhere from 280-380kms on synergy 6000 with a 40 litre tank
but my engine has 280XXXkms on it.....currently doing an engine conversion so im hoping the figures will be better then =]

this is regarding dc5's /k20
