byi Legacy Donating Member 159 Member For: 21y 1m 6d Posted 06/10/06 12:47 AM Author Posted 06/10/06 12:47 AM get a custom tune and ask for an economy tune. it works really well. also check your spark plugs, mine were gone and after being replaced im getting 300+kms from spirited driving←The only problem is in Brisbane we are very short on reliable tuners, and I would not dream of leaving my car with the “kids” at fist or due to the poor workmanship and etiquette revived at bob romano. Plus when tuners do visit from interstate they are usually gone within several days and don’t return for months on end, no easy possibility of a re-map if something where to go astray.

Ask to speak to Matt. They are very good tuners! I used them recently and I will continue to you them from now on.CheersXRT330

Melbourne to Sydney I make it past Goulbourn averaging 120km/h -> 9l/100km and in the very worst city driving I get 17-18l/100.Hmm not impressed Jan.

Modified or rather tuned properly and given the same driving ie cruise or non-WOT, they'll be far more fuel economical.And the only accurate way to measure fuel usage is 'litres in' vs 'kms travelled', which few have posted here.

Off boost, cruising, 6spd, VVT 6 cyl should be getting excellent economy.
MightyXR6Turbo Member 4 Member For: 20y 10d Posted 08/10/06 08:19 AM Posted 08/10/06 08:19 AM My stock BA Mk1 auto XR6T in City peak hour driving, combined with some squirting around the place gets about 14-15L/100km. I will see 400kms out of a tank from it as a minimum.The highway it is pretty average, about 10-11L/100km... gets 500kms or so from the tank.. having a 4 speed auto and the 3.45 diff doesn't really help a great deal on the highway. But I would expect when I start modding it, it will be better on the juice... it runs fairly rich when its been dynoed which isn't suprising at all.
