Best Fuel Consumption you have had

[Bling]

Only 300L

[sergei]

A few weeks ago i flew down to Queenstown to pickup a Audi Q7 3.0 tdi for my sister, used 3/4 tank to Picton, topped it up in Wellington and used 1/2 a tank to get back to Aucks. Not bad for a 2 ton 4WD! I wasn't driving it like a nana either, was very impressed with it!!

How big is the tank?

About 100L, so not impressive at all .

Christ, on investigating it actually is 100litres - I'd not really boast that much about that consumption from a diesel.

[Bling]

I think the claimed figures are ~ 7.5L/100km, so I imagine someone was having a good trip

[cartman640]

Best I've managed is 13.4Km/L on a trip from Dunedin to Invercargill and back, cruising most of the way but wasn't exactly eco driving.

6.1 litres/100km (45mpg in the old school) in the Corolla GT. Auckland to Napier.

8.9 litres/100km (32mpg) in the MR2 not mucking about Napier - Blenheim.

Sounds about right, the V8 ones will do ~9L/100km

Even the V12 one gets 11.3L/100km on the official EU test.


Worst consumption I've seen on the other hand? Stand up Bentley Continental GT - trip computer reckoned it was using 41L/100km around town

[BZG Wagon]

* BZ-Touring: 612km / 42L = 14.6km/L

Road trip to Cape Reigna.

* G-TT: 689km / 60L = 11.5km/L

Blenheim to Meremere (with tiki-touring in between). Thought it was a 65 litre tank and ran out of fuel right outside the drag strip entrance.

Offroad race car.
Nissan 350z engine.

^ Like Button.

[2jayzgte]

540 Km in a TT JZA 80 Supra running 1.3 bar Douglas St Mt.Cook in Wellington to Kaiti in Gisborne.

[Bling]

And how much fuel did that take?

Its a 65 litre tank and there was still fuel in the tank when I got there the light had n't come on yet so there was probably maybe between 5-10 litres still in the tank.Its a record for me I'd never done that before in my car.

Mind you ever since I had the F-Con installed at STM 4 years ago with BPU mods to my supra I think out of a full tank it has increased the range upwards of 50- 60 km per tank which I'm pretty happy about actually.

Agreed mate, there is nothing better than a modified car that gets better economy than when it was stock

When I bought my A80 from Ak, in its original NA guise, I filled the tank to the brim (70 litre tank but I can only fit 67 in) and then drove back to wellington non stop, and another 2 days in town which totalled 740km.

Since being na-t, I can get even better economy as its tuned to run about 15.5:1 on low throttle cruise at 50, 70 and 100kph. Provided I stay out of boost, its awesome for a 3ltr (but nothing on the pulsar obviously)

Its amazing its it! Long trips seem a good way of blowing away the cobwebs of daily driving as well. Always seems to be a bit smoother to drive after a long trip and a few days rest afterwards.

The best blowing out of cobwebs I did was a bit harsher than that

I was given a 1984 Pulsar that had been driven slowly for something like 9 years, mostly used for run the kids to school sort of duties. So when I got it, it was running very poorly, and had horrible preignition issues.

I put 20l of avgas in it and entered in a dual car sprint the week after I was given it. At the start of the day it wouldn't rev past 5,000. By lunchtime I was using 6800rpm (redline went solid red at 6,000).

Ran beautifully after that, and was entered in every event I could get to for the next 18 months.

Nice, sounds similar to what my Skyline was doing back when it had the GT30R. On my 1.1bar tune (around 300kw @ wheels) with a crappy old GTSLink ECU I was able to get from Palmy to Auckland on around 50litres of 98, so drifted around 10l/100k on the open road - though it got fairly miserable when I was having fun short trips

I was quite happy with how that was on fuel for the performance and how much of a pleasure it was to drive, was an absolutely awesome car for road trips and the little bit extra fuel felt well justified. Siiggghh..

I swear my engine ran better after a few laps at Puke. Probably blew 10 years of carbon out of the turbo.

The brakes though.... not so good....

[MrOizo]

In my work vehicle i get
20-24L/100km when driving to sites
30L+/100km when working.
Can fill 3 times a day and it has 80L tank too

Supra with 2JZ would get 10-11L/100km Auckland to Palmerston north
