BOSE Member 38 Member For: 20y 8m 8d Gender: Male Posted 07/04/06 02:41 AM Posted 07/04/06 02:41 AM Well as the title suggests .... what sort of fuel consumption are most of you guys getting with ~ 280-300 rwkw ??my brothers got an LS1 with 290rwkw, babying the car around sees around 20 ltrs/100km but as soon as you begin to punish the car .... you see figures of 30-35ltrs/100km just wanted to know how the ford turbos go in comparison to the LS1

That's average over a few weeks.New tune, 14.5/15.5 average over a few weeks.Doing a bit more flogging around lately. Both averages included going to the drags.

It used to get around 20L/100kms all city driving with Cam only (300rwkw).I have seen Ford Turbos get anywhere from 14L/100kms to 18L/100kms city driving.
