fuel consumption

[adzski]

is every one elses fto really bad on fuel like i filled up on a friday and monday was empty and didnt drive that much? is this normal or do i a mechanical problem?

[Bennoz]

Did you actually record how many kms it lasted?

[Daniel2019]

A full tank of V-Power lasts me 2 weeks - driving to and from school, to and from work and running about.

[Taz]

I just got 822 from full to dead empty, mivecing like crazy first 1/3 tank then babying like crazy last 2/3. I reckon I can crack 1000...

[aza013]

Not a chance in hell of getting 1000 out of it unless you run it down a very big hill with it in neutral (200+ K hill) .

[Taz]

i dunno, that 822 was pushing the absolute limit but i reckon on highway driving, non stop/slowing down at all straight 15hour drive youd just get there
just after a service/fuel filter/o2 sensor done of course though, thats why im getting bad ass km's

[adzski]

nah i havent yet i will when i fill up again and post up here

[aza013]

It has been that long I can't recall what my FTO gets but the lancer gets 5.9L to the 100K's .

[rock_it]

I do highway driving everyday.. But other speed limit is 110. So I sit at 3.5k.

When driving like a grandma with this distance, I only get 520 K's to a tank before the fuel light kicks in..

[Astron_Boy]

650kms maximum.
I can really baby foot a car.

To Dwaynes and back on 1 tank, and you can class me as living Sydney CBD if you want to do a Google Maps.

98 octane with passenger and car full of stuff.

FTO is 55L tank? So by the math the FTO is doing 8.4L/100kms, which is about right for mostly highway driving.

[Akys]

550Kms roughly

my wheels are heavy and i have a sub and amp

[Bennoz]

350ish

[aza013]

55L tank ?
They are 60-65L or is that not right? .

[Astron_Boy]

I honestly can't remember.


hang on, I have the user manual... lol

[Akys]

I honestly can't remember.


hang on, I have the user manual... lol

pretty sure its 60L plus a little

[Astron_Boy]

user manual tells me nothing.
hmm.

some websites reporting 70L... surely not.?

[aza013]

Could be right as I can recall some members posting up that they put 65+ L in at the pump. But then the pumps may not be reading true.

[Astron_Boy]

That would mean on highway the FTO only does roughly 10.5L/100kms...

Cant remember the last time I filled up, but the Merc tank is 75L and on the avg 1.50 fill up it costs me just over $90

Last time I filled the FTO from a dead tank was back near 2 years ago.

[Taz]

I used to get about 400 to a tank before i realizeed my fuel guage on my car was slightly out and i was too much of a wuss to take it anywhere past the 8L mark. Now going from full tank to fuel light i can get about 600ish easy with mixed city and highway, mostly highway sitting at 100.
As i said ive just done a major service on it, and changed everything, running 5w30, new filters and 100 octane i got 800 out of my last tank, and i know i could of gotten much more, that being said i drove like i was running on fumes half of the tank, changing back to neutral down hills, never going past 2.5k, doing the big ass slow down before a red light so i dont have to stop etc etc - next tank im really gonna see what they can do

55L tank ?

I'm pretty convinced mine holds about 55L, being a GPVR I assumed it'd have a smaller tank?
