Fuel Consumption

[sdablhad]

I have used BP ultimte since I got my euro 18months ago.

City driving (in a small country city) never more than 10L/100km - ave of 9.5 i'd say
Counrty roads and freeways down to 7L/100ks

this is in a stock 05 auto euro with a/c on all the time. I agrees with Crapdaz, and would say in the right conditions I could get 1000+kms from a tank. though I would never let the tank run down that far and get tank scum in the injectors.

Hello Gents (and Ladies).
I have a 2005 Euro 2.4 auto standard with no mods at all. with 37 000km. I average about 10l/100km in traffic, and have not taken her on the open road yet. I use mostly either Mobil or Shell 98 RON. with tyres at 36psi front and 34psi back.
I'm looking to improve performance and economy without busting the bank and/or pissing the wife off. I was concidering a K & N Cold air intake. Any other suggerstions, please?

I've got intake/catback and it hasn't affected my fuel consumption at all. in fact, i just went to jindabyne (450km) from Sydney yesterday using about half a tank

^ Pretty good for a WRX. Astounding for an R32. About what I get in my CL9.

It is some time since I updated my consumption figures. My CU2 Auto is averaging 7.1 over 30,000km. One of the advantages of country living.

11-12 L/100km in the city is spot on. Most of us do combined where we have a little bit of 70-80 km/h roads which brings the consumption down greatly.
For me, City was 11 L/100km, City + a bit of 80 km/h was 10.5 L/100km, Combined was 9.6 L/100km and pure 100km/h freeway was 7.1 L/100km.

Funny thing is the wrx used more fuel then the gtr. I was getting about 250-300km from a tank whereas i could get about 350-400km in the gtr. The wrx was fairly modded...

Oh ok. Just needed confirmation that these numbers were normal cos i read in another thread someone thought 12l/100km was an issue.
Thanks for the replies.

Currently trying Mobil Premium 95. Getting 8.1L/100km. Conservative driving to and from uni and church. Usually do between 100-150km a week. Much better than the United E10 my dad was running it on (8.7L/100) and tons better than Vpower that i tried the last fill up (9.2L/100). BTW im not kidding i also drive CL9. Are you guys thrashing it a bit?

Oh i forgot to add, i only find myself sitting in a traffic for 30 minutes once a week. every other time its smooth sailing constant average probably 60km/h

If you're only in traffic for 30 minutes once per week, of course you're going to get better results than most CL9. And going to church is clearly giving you a fair advantage over heathens, lol!
