vivaspeed Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Why have I only just discovered this thread? Work car, for which I pay no petrol costs averages 6.4l/100km. Mostly because of stupid traffic jams. Can't get it any lower. But then it is a 2.0 and I'm not that nice on the throttle. Has been on 6.4 for the last 5-6 months. My own car, which I have to pay the fuel bill is up in the 11s-12s/100km but I have seen the instantaneous consumption up around 90L/100km The rest of the fleet is better measured in litres/year. I probably lose more in evaporation than consumption on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 ^ Not sure if pisstaking or not. I'm actually rather amazed at that thing. So cheap to run. seems to be loosening up now that it's getting higher in km. an old fulla took it to masterton and back today. trip computer thing says 7.8l/100 now.

cletus Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 this thread is so racist, what about the jews? anyway, inspired by this thread, i did some experimentation. BF falcon with 285km on it. my usual figures according to the trip meter are 13l/100km if i dont touch it for a while, my average speed is 33kph. i did a run down the motorway from new lynn to papakura, 80-90kph driving with feather boots and putting it in neutral when coasting or going downhill. hit the reset button getting on and off the motorway, 7.3l/100km drove from papakura to pukekohe, normal motorway driving not paying any attention to economy, 105-110kph, 8.6l/100km drove from pukekohe- highbrook. tried pulse-glide thing, going between 95-110, got annoyed at that and followed a truck as close as safe, neutral down hill or when slowing, 90-95 behind the truck. that got down to 6.3l/100km. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 My ute ( Ve v8) Averages 11.5 per hundy most times, when i had 10 psi in the tyres (shows how much i use it) it jumped up to 12-13. then i filled them up and on the open road it will get low 9's. the second you hit a town though it shoots right up.so the Ls's are pretty economical ..at 100-110 in 6th which is 1500-1800rpm.In the NT where the open road is 130kmh the fuel went right up to 13. Round town is about 15-18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Commie ute diff gearing must be stump puller spec there Hemi. My doctor mate's '02 Monaro pulled 1100 rpm at 100 km/hr in sixth gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 this thread is so racist, what about the jews? Their gas consumption was pretty high in the 1940s. Sorry that was awful 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Bulk quantities but not much per person cos they were jammed in tight. This is really going the wrong way now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aight bro, next time i go for a drive ill make a point of bringing in roman as a consultant so we can have a outside 3rd party to both argue and graph the 300 rpm discrepancy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 oh hang on , i fucked up . 120 is near 1800 rpm. I apologise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 but anyway... you have now got me thinking more about those LS converted FD's. they have lower axle ratio but with the slippary FD shape one could have a when needed neatly economical cruiser and wickedly powerful rx7 that also sounds good! oh...and reliable... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 FD is such a beautiful car. I'm not saying that it's a "pity" that it has a rotary engine, but it's certainly a pity that some people dont like it just because it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought I had Pete on my fuelly friends list bu the most recent top up was yours and I found it quite entertaining to throw up the comparison of the Colorado v. exotic, mostly because it makes no sense. I will admit that I did think that was a pretty legit figure for a utility. I did enjoy my bosses old Colorado (and his newer ones) more than the Ranger & BT-50's that work gets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 My FD hasn't let me down yet, it's got an un-opened 134000km on it, 7000 of those in the ~7months I've owned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I probably drive it like a nana compared to what 99.9999999% of people. It doesn't seem to hur4t economy when my offsider drives it though and during the week he does more km in it than me so maybe he drives it like that too. I still get along at a fair chop. Just seems like you just pour gas down it if you give it mega beans rather than get anywhere really any quicker. I'm often commuting on closed roads at 120kph etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I've noticed there is a trend that says otherwise nowadays but my butt-dyno definitely feels better at the 120-130kph range than the "more economical" 80-90kph range. I guess there's many factors as Roman says RE: wind resistence/drag co-efficient and gearing. Anyway. I'm still stuck in my old man "my car sits better at 120" mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
