July 8, 201511 yr #11 Download the Fuel Log app if you have an android phone (not sure which is best app for iphone) and use that instead of the dash figures as well
July 8, 201511 yr #12 im not ginna name names , maybe im just jumping the gun as I say ive only done about 100kms or less , maybe the computer hasnt sorted it out from the last tune it had, was just absolute shiyte? this has all been city driving.what would people generally get if they flogged it with a 500hp tune? just curious mines just shy of 500 and I can get 450kms with some dick head driving. Open road 650+
July 8, 201511 yr #13 Author alright then, cheers bizket... ill reset , I will use the phone data logger and if I sit around 450 ill be happy with that and accept it - because reality is I do give it a squirt here and there (only nanna atm figuring out consumption with new tune and injectors)
July 8, 201511 yr #14 33.7l. If that's the case that would make you a p plater with a vt ss. that's the only time I ever see averages of 30+ lol Edited July 8, 201511 yr by Bizkets is fat?
July 8, 201511 yr #15 Even at power play I averaged better then 30/100.What is your instantaneous fuel consumption at idle, cruising at 60, and at 100 on flat ground?
July 8, 201511 yr #16 You gotta do a few tanks worth before you can really work out how much it's using
July 8, 201511 yr #17 What temp does your car sit at under normal condition's. Do you do only very short trips?
July 8, 201511 yr #18 Author alright so I figured it out ... its my f**k up . Went for a cruise then these are the resultscold start idle 5.4l/hr (the average climbed from 33.7 to 34)warm idle 2.4l/hr (started driving and the average continually dropped )60km/h 3rd 17-19l per 100km60km/h 4th 15-16l per 100km100km/h 5th 16.2l per 100km (after the drive and getting home the average is now at 29.There was an aspect I didnt stop to consider.. its still running the same tank of fuel from when I had it tuned and ive only driven it a few times, and I remember when I got it back from the tune it was up in the high 60kms , possibly 70kms I cant remember exactly. But basically im pretty sure the car hasnt sorted itself out yet as I havent driven enough since the tune . It should continue to drop as its "averaging" and obviously on the dyno its get smashed over and over.pretty much explains it hey? do the given results seem right?

July 8, 201511 yr #19 Author I always start the car and let it idle to warm , then drive (usual operating temp in my other ute was about middway) but with this car it just above the first line (like a quarter or a little more) that's the general temp I see other at with similar mods as well. my trips vary but I would rarely drive under 25 kms per trip
July 8, 201511 yr #20 I was told by some dbag not to worry about having to idle to warm up....just start & give it a few seconds then drive slowly for the first few minutes.The temp gauge warms up surprising fast when driving vs. sitting in park.
