LS fuel consumption?

**crispy** · 27-10-2005 03:35 PM

Thats werd... i only get about 300kms out of a tank, although i do have mods and give my car a bit of a workout now and then... guess i just answered my own question.. hehe

i swear i have a 50L tank in my LS, and thats standard. i have advanced timing and run optimax and ultimate only, so far im on 200km and im not even at half way yet

and dude, just coz the needle goes over full doesnt mean u can squeeze any more than 50L in the tank, ROFLMAO

Hahahaha =p

ok well ive just tried using 2 different types of fuels. i filled up about 48ltrs of caltex regular (4c discount baby!) and i got about 553kms b4 i had 2 fill up. after filling up at work (7-eleven use shell fuel), i filled up 48ltrs again, and ive done 570 so far, and my needle is just above red. usually i can go for about 80kms once i hit red b4 i need to fill up.

all i have on my car is a simota intake and exhaust.

couple of weeks earlier i filled up full tank, drove for about 232km and filled up my tank to full again. it took 17ltrs (shell fuel). so it works out to about 7.3lts/100kms with a mix of traffic and hwy driving.

My 89 I only get about 150km by the time i get down to half a tank and thats with optimax (go the 4c discount!). Theres no mods on the car to my knowledge and I dont drive it hard. Will try ultimate and see how that goes...

WAH!?

I get BP Ultimate and its 40litres without my tank being completely empty...

you should read the thread entitled "regular unleaded in euro" - bp ultimate will cause you to lose power unless youve advanced your timing

my timing is advanced and ultimate goes like an absolute gun. BP Ultimate all the way!!!

nice - im considering advancing mine soon...what have you got yours on? i know a guy running 17.5 for 95 octane, seems to run ok.
so what would you estimate for the gain?
