Hey was just wondering what you others got for petrol as i know the astrons werent known for there fuel econ unless its long distances

i get 11-12l/100km < thats a bit of granny and thrashing (not that i thrash my car :shifty: ) oh and i got a manual efi TN

I know this was a thread a while back but just thought an update would be good on the Km's traveled of your gen1s

mines just hit 234,000
so far i have had mine a year a few weeks back and only traveled 12,000km in the year ive had it

im not 100% sure cos its a weekend car, but everytime i fill up its not really nice to me. last time was 300km out of 45L, 15L/100k, later on i got the injectors cleaned and its gone down a bit. But its mainly thrashed, stop/start km. I'd say its more around 13L/100km now...maybe im just hopeful ;)

and its almost at 180... i havnt used it enough dammit lol, i guess its cos of the above ;)
oh yeha its an auto fuel sucking biartch

ive had mine like almost a year? i forget and i get 600ish to a tank, thats highway k's to work and then just a little cruising around, im nice to my car most of the time, dont rev it over 3000 but every now and again i might give it a stab but ive only redlined the car once since ive owned it and that was to get it to 100 in second, just touched the red.

My best fuel economy was 508km out of 56L which is about 11L/100km it normally does about 12.5km/100 and thats with the occasional rev to 3500 and doing 3200 revs, so i can do close to 100 up the hills :)

KM wise, I bested 650km out of a 74 litre tank, but it's usually 550km for 70ish litres.

Distance wise, it had travelled 171,190km when the dash was changed over to 247,550. It has now failed at 248,300.

The lower balance shaft failed catastophically, reducing the oil pump to very low, and destroying the lower timing chain. The engine was shut down immediatly, but there is extensive damage.

Reco goes in this week. I had planned to replace the chains on the weekend after next...

500km outta last tank of premium! w00t

my fuel economy is about 10-12lt / 100km (carby). that is driving it like no tommorow (5000rpm shifts) with BP ultimate + 10% toluene which in total is about 102RON fuel + nitromethanol injection.

driving with 3000rpm shifts raise it a bit more to around 13lt / 100km. not much diff either way. its carby that says it all :D

my old TM GLX manual (carby) with 306,000km on odo used to do around 10L/100 in city, I don't dare to take it more than 2500rpm each gear shift as it's got a blown head gasket and if I do take it past 3000rpm, the cars behind me won't be very happy.... hehe <<SMOKE'N>>...

the good thing with 1st gens are that they are torquey down load, I take on in 2nd gear usually to save gear change. hehe.

oh yeha its an auto fuel sucking biartch

well i just got a new job that means i travel 90km each day to and from work and 30km of that will be in the streets i just put 50 bucks in the tank so i hope i will just make 450kms out of that no thrashing

6L per 100km, granny spec, ive had it upto 10L per 100 tho.

Now double it, to take into account that yours is half the car...

Now double it, to take into account that yours is half the car... with more power
:P

with more power
:P
Nup. 93kW to a generous 90kW.
Plus, you'll have to make two trips, to our one.

93 at the wheels :P

yeah my fuel range is **** house i would only just make it 400m from a tank :confused:

Our (GF and myselves) magna, last time i checked, got around 8.9 l/100k on the highway, and i dont know around town but a mix of town/highway its done 450k with some left in the tank.

sucks to be all you, i get 500ish driving hard and both, i drive highway to work though so i just cruise there and badk

fuel econ is about 10ltr/100ks as i shift gears between 3 and 5k rpm depending on the mood, i drove round all week once changing at 2.5 to 3krpm got about 12/100, mine has new rotor, cap, leads and plugs along with the efi/pcv cleaned and the cold air befor that fuel econ was crap about 8/100, should improve a little more once my extractors go on but moneys tight till after xmas now think ill fit the spare cat converter befor then its kinda hollow :D see how it gos like that untill the extractors are fitted

My fuel economy for the last two weeks has been beautiful!

I've not had to fill the tank once.

TN Elante EFI Manual
Town: 10L/100Km
Highway 8L/100Km
178000Km

I have a Tp Wagon EFI Manual, and I drive it gently trying to maximise fuel economy. I normally
get between 8.5 to 9.5 L/ 100 km around town, and between 7 and 8 Highway at 110 km/hr

Hmmm maybe i should do an efi conversion :confused:

I get about 8km/L (approx 13L/100km)

I just got 540km out of a full tank of BP premium unleaded an dthat was majorly hooning, bout 230km was highway driving the rest was drivinga round town flooring it etc etc.... so i was impressed :)
oh and thats in my 91 TP magna wagon...
