Im dreeding to see how much ford would charge for a re-map.

turbotom Team Bute Donating Members 1,550 Member For: 21y 10m 10d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 05/10/06 06:46 AM Share Posted 05/10/06 06:46 AM When the ute was stock, I was getting 19.5 l/100 km around town and about 12.5 l/100 km on interstate trips.Now with Edit and other goodies....17.5 l/100km around town, and on interstate trips she continually returns around 10.0 to 10.5 l/100km.. depending on how many double-B semis I need to fly past.And this is with over 300 kW at the treads available.I am a very happy vegemite, that a performance car like this can still return good figures whilst cruising, and be easy to drive day to day.I think the XR6T provides bloody good fuel economy for a full sized performance vehicle capable of easy 12's. Around town.... forget about it. Accept that they are thirsty.The Boss V8 is even worse!!! try over 20l plus /100 km around town. tom Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/29060-18l-100km/page/2/#findComment-444976 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a 4L turbo 6.... cant expect good fuel economy at low speed. I get 18 - 19L around town and 10.4L at consistent 90 - 150 km/hr driving.

homerj Member 52 Member For: 21y 7m 14d Location: Berwick,Melbourne Posted 05/10/06 10:14 AM Share Posted 05/10/06 10:14 AM Recent trip from Melbourne to Barossa Valley had us at 10.8l/100 which I was very happy with. This was even with all the windows down and sunroof open. Bloody thing overheated on the way across and the only way to keep the engine cool was to put the heating on full and fan on full (AC cuts out at half way anyway).Pain in the arse! Ended up being the bloody thermostat sticking!Usually get around the 12.8 mark though with bad start/stop traffic between Berwick and Camberwell and spirited driving from the same start place and bayswater.Homerj Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/29060-18l-100km/page/2/#findComment-445071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
