My car was edited last Friday (270rwkw) and it's a manual (T5) and it's looks as though I'll get about 450km's to this tank... city driving to and from work... and I can't keep off the thing with my new found power!!! Love it...

My best mate has an LS1 (VU SS) with edit only, 3.9's, full exhaust with 4 hotdogs and K&N power intake and he gets about 350km's (at best) to a tank... if we ever go anywhere further than the city we take my car because it's SO MUCH better on fuel...

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  :blink:

just wanted to know how the ford turbos go in comparison to the LS1

I am getting around the 14-14.5 ltrs around town, on the highway 9-11 ltrs. Currently running 273rwkw.

yeah sounds about right, my brothers getting between 250-350 km's per tank.

Geez, heavy drinkers these LS1's. I thought it was because of the power they were making but it seemes like the ford turbos seem to be consuming alot less with equal or more power but I guess its upto the way you drive the thing aswell :glad:

Ken one of my F6 customers work on the mines up north has 320 rwkw's on 95 ron fuel and gets 700 on the open road.

Mines averages around the 15.5 to 16.5 if I belt it... that's not that often but :spoton:

Hey BOSE... I imagine the difference between the two is because at least with the T you have the choice of leaning on it or driving around to get good consumption figures... if I drive my car around under 3,000 RPM I get incredible figures (mid 12's to mid 13's) even around town... if my mate in his ute does this he gets good figures (16's) rather than horrilbe ones (20 plus)... get what I mean? I'd hate to think what a 'Higgins Head and Cam Package' LS1 gets around town...
