Considering FTO but not sure of fuel consumption.
Hey, was looking into an FTO in the near future. Really love the looks and preformance. Was just wandering what kinda fuel they use, and what L/100Km I should expect. Fuel is kinda expensive for uni stundents with no job as such .
Cheers.

Hi mate, most folks get at least around 500kms~ a tank, some signifigantly more.
Then there's us turbo guys that can run out of fuel in our own driveways

CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Re: Considering FTO but not sure of fuel consumption.
The last time I did a check I got about 9.3L to the 100K's ( may even be less ) running Caltex 98.
But that was about 6-8 months ago so I can't be 100% sure.
I will have to do another check on it.

8 - 10l of top grade consumer fuel then, per 100km, depending on driving styles. I take it easy, usually.

Re: Considering FTO but not sure of fuel consumption.
i'll take last weekend as an example,
filled up with vortex 98 (completely chockers)
drove 200km in one day, had a cruise with mitsubishi club, about 130km were giving it to the car fairly hard.
managed to get 500km with 12L left.
edit: driving 95 gpx manual, mods on my for sale thread.

Nice bro. Once you test drive it, you can't turn back.... right?
