Member 1,452 Member For: 20y 9m 21d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 24/07/09 11:30 AM Share Posted 24/07/09 11:30 AM Well I just did some highway driving in my 08 FG T and Im impressed! I have the 6-spd auto obviously and from Canb to Melb got a tremendous 8.93L/100km. I always reset my A trip meter when I fillup and noted how many Ks I did and how many L I put in at the next stop. That figure was my manual calc.My current all-time economy reads 9.6L/100km. My BA used to read 11.4, admittedly my drive to work is fairly fuel effic and I had been doing a fair amount of highway driving of late. But 9.6! Amazing!

XR6T_Uterus Member 14 Member For: 14y 8m 26d Posted 01/08/09 08:29 AM Share Posted 01/08/09 08:29 AM I have just under 500ks on the clock, brand new... but easily avg under 10s cruising on the highway/freeway. I heard ford run a richer mix of fuel air and a detune til the first service at 3000ks, not sure how true this is, so should be expecting better economy after that.

V8SuperCars Member 29 Member For: 14y 9m 10d Posted 01/08/09 08:50 AM Share Posted 01/08/09 08:50 AM Hmm wonder if this is true? anyone felt or seen a drop in fuel usage after the first service?This thread always cheers my day, cannot wait to get my beast and back off those ever rising fuel prices, I do loads of highway driving so fingers crossed I can hit around the 9 mark way better than the V8 that's hitting around 14L on highway, gotta love this turbo 6 engine, will post up my findings once I get it.
