Typhoon
in Territory Turbo

Ok, I have had the pleaser of driving a few XR6 Turbo’s, but until now I had never had one for more then a few hours.

You see the family car broke down last week, and it just so happens that my uncle has left the state for two weeks and kindly gave us his turbs to hammer, I mean use as our daily transport.

Now after putting fuel in a Ford Festiva on a weekly basis you become accustom to your own fuel budget. Oh my God how much fuel do these cars drink? (Waste) Yes my bro and I have been caning it a bit, but hows 351 kms out of a tank of ultimate 98 sound we have spent $140 in the last 6 days.

Is this normal, can this be right? It is the fastest XR6 Turbo I have driven, but the fuel consumption is simply unacceptable!!

As much as I want to own and mod one of these cars, it will be a difficult thing to financially manage. Please can you guys tell me what sort of kms do you get out of your cars?

Also is there a way of improving the fuel economy EG: Edit tune?

This car is a BA 2003 5 speed stock regularly serviced.

Perfectly normal

Are you still sure you want a Typhoon now :spoton:

350km per tank would be about my average. :spoton:

On long trips on the open road between 500-550. However for my usual driving around home anything from 200-400 depending on my mood and the weather. :spoton:

Geea. :blink:

Yhea I don’t know how people can afford to run these things, my bro is a civil engineer and I am very soon to be a certified CISCO network engineer, and with house payments I just can’t see how we both can stretch to own one of these cars, let alone one each. It is really getting me down to be honest!! :spoton::spoton:

Ok, well why do they drink so much is it the size of the car?

Or just poor tunning, can you improve the fuel efficiency of the motor with a decent tune?
