We've got one of these for 3rd gens but as far as I can see not for the second gens, so I figured what the hell, if a mod could sticky this like the 3rd gen one, that'd be great too :)

Just like the 3rd gen one, vote how many k's you get on average from a tank, then post your driving style and any car modifications that may effect fuel economy.

I'm getting 501-550 atm from a stock 2.6L TR Auto, driving somewhere midway in-between hoon and grandma, mostly around town, some freeway :D

I got 4 Banger, heavy lead foot, And shes an Auto, All city driving.

Major flaw with this poll; you haven't defined "tank"!!:rant:

Seriously, you can never compare figures unless you specify exactly how many litres are being used!
My usual fill, which according to the gauge is down to about 1/8th of a tank, is 45litres; according to the manual, the actual tank capacity is 65litres. So is a "tank" for me 45, or 65??!

There needs to be a standard figure defined for a comparative poll to be conducted.

There needs to be a standard figure defined for a comparative poll to be conducted.

A tank is from full, to the point where the needle meets the empty line. No body would use the full 65L of the fuel, because the car would stop. From the people I know with 2nd gens, the average fill from where the needle meets empty is 50L or so. This is only rough anyhow, doesn't need to be the exact same amount of fuel used by each car to vote.

Just vote how many k's you get on "your" full tank. Obviously if you fill every time it reachs a quarter this isn't going to work, but presuming you fill the tank and then wait at least until the light comes on for low fuel, it'll be close enough :D

For example, my full tank, is exactly what I stated above, from full, to when the needle hits the Empty line (well actually atm its a little under I think, I need fuel), and thats just short of 550km :P

Yep, we need to list what our Litres per 100Ks figure is.

Trouble is I think most people don't bother to work it out!

My v6 manual gets 9.7 litres per 100 k with more city than country driving.

On my 71 litre tank that would be over 700 kms in a tank!:cool:

****ing 350km per tank if I'm lucky... 370 tops :(

**** I hate my car.

**** I hate my car.
You hate it like you hate dirty jokes....lol

I get a tincy bit over 400ks per tank. Best I have ever had was 700ks from 80% freeway driving. But I always drive with bit of a lead foot.

The wagons have a 70 litre tank (i've filled it to 71 once when the motor was cutting out and I had to coast the last 300m to a servo a number of years ago. Had to have the fuel system flushed out after that effort!).

I get about 400km per tank city driving on a 2.6Litre Auto (Carburetted... very ol' skool) but out on the highway, I get over 750km consistently.

Yeah, thought the figure I said was wrong, 65's the sedan figure. I think officially the wagon is 72litres.

Off 45litres, I can get anywhere between 380km and 550km, more usual average is between 400km and 450km.

Extremes:
380km -> 8.4km/l, or 11.8l/100k
550km -> 12.2km/l, or 8.2l/100k

Average daily:
400km -> 8.9km/l, or 11.25l/100k
450km -> 10km/l, or 10l/100k

If extrapolated out to 50litres, at say 420k/45l, that gives around 470k/50l.

V6 manual, normally driving around town with say 100km of 100km/hr thrown in.
If mostly highway/freeway, I can get up around the 550k/45l. (610/50l).

i can only get a max of 48litres in and if i behave i can get it up to 500k's... but sometimes down to 430 depending on how much hammering i do.

50% 50% city highway although city driving is pretty lame in bris. Only get in peak hour 2 times a week

****ing 350km per tank if I'm lucky... 370 tops :(

**** I hate my car.

lol thats what im gettin now and my economy is down the crapper haha.

before the problems arose i was gettin 500km per tank city driving

even on a flat out country run i only get like 400km per tank mainly due to turbo + fuel pump plus injectors n all that blah, but yes, heavy foot too... plus i only use 98 octane, so filling up twice a week hurts a bit:rant:

:P

V6 Verada Wagon auto, fuel consumption is 13.5L, very accurately measured but only on an average of 3 tanks as I havent had the car for long. Thats with BP Ultimate ( 98 octane) too. But I do about half peak hour traffic city driving to and from work and half suburb kinda drivin but given a bit of stick to uni and back.

I feel a little better now... I get about 400k-430k with a very heavy foot, ALOT of small trips around town. I thought i was the only one getting crap fuel economy.:rant:
V6 Auto, K&N panel, 98 ron.
Freeway driving that goes upto about 600k easy as ive never done a full tank on the freeway. but the odd cruise i can get about 350k @ 100kph on half tank so....:D

POS SOHC
430kays to 50L of PREMIUM
My economy used to be better, but with 2 amps, 2 subs, now elec windows, wing, and whatknot, it was sure to suffer

stock TR 4cyl 2.6 carby
~390 kms out of a tank (~45 litres).
Shocking.

You musta had your foot welded too the floor for that effort lol

So should I presume my 550km's from a full tank, about 50L I suppose I've used from nearly all around town driving, with a touch of freeway is pretty good? Better than your 330 luci! :badgrin:

Yep, we need to list what our Litres per 100Ks figure is.

Yeah, thats exactly right. If you wanna compare cars correctly, use a measure every car/tank can use.

My 92 TR auto guzzles up to 13L/100km round the city.. But that's pushing it a bit too! Driving nicely, id say bout 10-12L.

Is it true the 3L V6 is more economical than the straight-4's?

Is it true the 3L V6 is more economical than the straight-4's?Depends, from general observation I'd say they seem to be about the same economy; but of course you're getting more power for the same economy with the 6.

I know when I got the car, I was geting about 270 300 to a tank:confused: this was in windys and in the mountains though, if that had anything to do with it...+ im a leadoot.lol

I think the big difference is in the effect of the gearbox. If you look at the figures quoted in redbook you see that the 2.6 and 3.0 are lmost the same for fuel usage if they are both hooked up to the same type of box. The 3.0 is a bit more economical on the highway. So, there's no point buying a 2.6 for economy's sake.

whats a turd gen???? (2rd gen) :nuts:

TS V6 last fill 459 kms @ 41lt = 9lt per 100kms rounded up 50% city 50% 90kms zone useing 98 RON, damn good economy for mine.

i had a 3.0L 2nd gen verada for 2 years that had the exact same as above

just tested it then i got 535kms from 54.7ltrs

i think thats all right..... on the ol 4 bager....

Just pump your tyres up to 37psi maby ...

i had a 3.0L 2nd gen verada for 2 years that had the exact same as above
You see... I'd love to have those extra two cylinders and have that extra power for the fuel economy I'm getting, but alas, I have a 4 cylinder crap-factory.

Hmm, a couple of $K to save a couple of $ in fuel...:nuts: :D


No its been my plan for a while, its not simply the reason of the ****ty fuel economy of the magna 2nd gen. It's the overall fact that I want something more reliable, better fuel economy and its that time I dont need a bigger 4dr sedan. Time for something new but any savings on fuel consumption will be a added bonus.

It has done me well through my p-plate days, but also cost a fair bit to repair. The 4cyl guzzles heaps, and the crappy design of the engine relates back to the days of the sigmas.

You see... I'd love to have those extra two cylinders and have that extra power for the fuel economy I'm getting, but alas, I have a 4 cylinder crap-factory.
Well who bought the car? lol

also i should point out that 8 months ago, my car was using a full tank (45 litres) @ 300kms, compared with about 390-400 now. This was before i started using 98 RON (V power), and since my economy has gotten better.
No placebo, i havent even had her serviced in that time.

Hey out of interest, has the fuel economy improved over time as well as when you first started using premium? Apparently with the better detergents in BP ultimate and I guess V power it will help clean and keep clean your fuel system, so would be interesting to see if thats what happened with you, or if it has been the same since you first switched

Ollie

I've never tried premium despite being told it gives better economy....:nuts:

We had the heads machined recently, would that have anything to do with the improved fuel economy? I mean, prior to the service including the heads, we were getting about 400km's to a tank, now nearly 550km?

What do you guys think? I'm trying to work out why theres such a dramatic difference between our TR and most of the people who have voted here.

The wagons have a 70 litre tank (i've filled it to 71 once when the motor was cutting out and I had to coast the last 300m to a servo a number of years ago. Had to have the fuel system flushed out after that effort!).

I got 76 into a first gen wagon's fuel tank once before, had to coast into the servo dead. This is after a 680km, so it was quite empty.

Though, if you reckon your fuel economy is bad, in a 1991 N13 Pulsar 1.6 auto, I'm getting 14l/100km.

We've got one of these for 3rd gens but as far as I can see not for the second gens, so I figured what the hell, if a mod could sticky this like the 3rd gen one, that'd be great too :)

That's what i'm assuming has happened. I just started using V power because i didnt wanna run the crappy unleaded stuff anymore, and for an extra $5 its worth it.
Last week i did pretty much all city driving and that was my fuel consumption, 390km out of about 45 litres. I'm yet to try her out on the open road. That'll get done over christmas.
So for all you non-believers of premium fuels, i say to you, Pfft! lol

ummm dude i get that out of my VN
avg is 13.5L/100km and it's an 8 :shock:

I do roughly 400+ a week on e10 or 91 ULP...

That's pure city driving with one rip 30mins up the highway and back. When we do our annual big drive to NSW I get from Northgate (north brisbane) to Goodiwindi off the first tank (can reach moree if I want to but the boss gets a bit nervous) and from Moree to Mudgee on the second tank with a little to go yet. 1100km one way trip.

Turns out I average anywhere between 13 - 16 litres per 100 kms. I know thats a bad figure for a dedicated lpg setup but its hard to drive economical with the turbocharger :D

Thats not that great, but it ain't really that bad mate, not when you've got a turbo under the bonnet.

My 4 banger EFI wagon has 71 Litres and gets around 425 - 450 around town. I have stretched it to 500 but found that I had less than a couple of litres left. Country, she gets 600 - 700 at a pinch, no trouble.

If you lead foot around town with the big 4 you may as well drive a 5 litre Statesman:cool: :cool: :D

Yet, in the Mk3 Golf, I can break into the 6s, that's economical!

(They're both 1.6s, the only real difference is one is a manual, the other an auto, the mass is similar)

The big 4's can get reasonable economy even when driven hard... mine I don't really give it a break and I am always driving around the city... last few tanks it has got around 10.4L/100k average :)

Man thats crap.
Screw this premium bulls*** i keep putting in. Spend $65ish a week on 50L of premium only to get 400kays.
Stupid automatic. Stupid magna

hahaha they do OK... it probably helps that I have a brand new engine though with 1600km's on the clock ;)

Also keep in mind I run mine off ethanol exclusively (95 octane) and the first gens have more restrictive intakes, so less air = less fuel required and less temptation to drive it really rough lol. It is an M7 head, with roller rockers and blue injectors and a set of extractors though... all other parts are stock however.

All I'm saying is that the engine itself is capable of getting good figures on fuel.. but takes lots of work to get it going like that. For mine it is my main goal to get it running fuel efficient, while still having *decent* power output.

Anyone know anything about consistency with fuel economy?

Last couple of tanks have been in the low 500's when the lights come on from full, and i noticed this afternoon the lights on and ive just cracked 380. Fuel consumption is all over the shop, unless I'm gonna go another 150 odd kays on what the gauge says is nothing? Heres the biggest catch, if anything, this tank has done less around town **** than the last couple of tanks...why do i like these damn cars?lol

You like them for the same reason all of us do.........They are great value for money, they are smooth and quiet, even when they are old.......they are cheap and easy to fix.........they handle well.......they look great for their age........and very comfortable in comparison to their rivals in this class!!:rant: lol :) :cool:

I really need to go 3rd gen now though!! Or at least 3litre 6 manual Verada!!:cool:

your right and wrong mate, some jobs are easy, some are hell. good and bad cars at the same time. but somehow theyre addictive lol

just did my thermostat and temp sender. will see how i go wit the next tank

All jobs are easy with the right tools, right place, hoist and experience. I have allways found great satisfaction in nutting out problems and solving them! After 35 years of driving and fixing I think I might have some idea!!!:rant:
First Car was 1951 Ford Custom Twin Spinner flat head V8!!
Loved that car!!
Didn't get great gas milage (although you could fill a cuzzy for $4 in those days) but it was quiet and very smooth! Just like these things!!:cool:

Avatar is next Project!!!

Lugo, it is fun to drive and yes it is bad economy but I pay half the price for fuel at the moment so I am happy about that. And yes Gas_Hed when I purchased the motor it ended up by being 2.8Litres. I think it adds torque not horsepower though, still can't complain it is strong :)

lol easy flower, all i said was that some jobs are hard and some are easy which i believe is very true. wasnt critizising your experience or tools, sorry if you took it that way.
yes tools, location and experience make jobs easier but dont necessarily change what has to be done... annnnyyywaysssss

just figured why my economys gone to the crapper... FUEL LEAK!!!!:doubt: :doubt: coming from the start of the fuel rail happily dripping away leaving me oblivious until today. cant figure out how i couldnt smell it ages ago. so theres another thing to fix. should solve my problems.
oh, fuel was dripping onto a radiator hose... should probly change the hose huh?

i do often do 550 - 600ish km's in a weekend and that gets me from a full tank to a solid orange light, fair bit of highway but often driving through mountains quite hard

man this is crap. Im LUCKY to get over 420ish EVERY week from a good 50L of fuel.
Im carrying the subs and amps, 19"s and a bit of deadning but surely that couldnt take off 150k's from a tank.
I'll have to get this sussed out

50L is like 7 or 8 litres short of the orange light coming on. Off 60L you would get about 500ish if that is the case.

auto...

Well, after an oil change, now running fully synthetic,
i just got 474km out approx 54L, works out to be about 11km per litre, pretty happy with that :cool:

couldve gone further but if i waited any longer the price wouldve jumped up

driving was city with the odd 10 mins on the highway, and a heavy foot here and there, im very pleased shes back to normal :D.

aim is to get 500+ out of a tank on city driving. jst thought id share lol, enjoy!

First genner! We share the same motor, this last tank was about second gen weight!

Towing a heavy trailer, and 400-odd KG of IT crap, used 18 litres to travel 152km, which works out to be 11.8l/100km, of which 100-odd km was freeway. Normal city driving the last tank was 11.3l/100, haven't done a calculatable country run yet.

Mods done. Sticking injectors:rant:, new muffler, filters, and an oil change.

Anyone for an LPG economy update...

Drove to Sydney from Sunshine Coast QLD and back last week and was managing 11L per 100kms on LPG.

11L per 110k's took a fair bit of restraint but when I got to the pump and put in 50Litres it cost $28 :cool:

l0l I love gas and so does my turbo :D

Except city driving is ***** economy but I am half to blame for that (up to 15L per 100kms)

So far, done 450 km, no stop start, high speed overtaking burst, still got at least a quarter of a tank left!

I used 135 litres to travel 1280km, about 40% city, 60% freeway/country drving

I'm happy for the economy, should break into the 9s on the interstate run lol

My KS is horrible in town, worst tank was about 270km to 60Ltrs.. all heavy foot driving. Highway its good, mainly lightfoot and economical driving.. best tank 660km to 58L.. whatever that works out to be in L/100km.

(22L/100km worst in town, 8.78L/100km best highway).

My numbers might look pretty low but I've got mine converted to gas and running off a 45L tank. It runs on the open road at about 9.7km/L or 10.3L/100km which I think is pretty good. As far as price goes it costs me about $5 to travel 100km on open road.

Switching to gas is a pretty good idea if you're not worried about limiting your power. The gear changes in my auto are much smoother than they used to be and the car does keep it's power for a little bit longer when going up a steep hill. It used to die out pretty quickly but with the gas it keeps running at high speed for longer.

There's a $2,000 rebate for getting gas put on your car and mine only cost me $700 because of it. It paid for itself pretty damn quick when it's only $700. Only problem is that you will lose some boot space. Sedans will just have smaller boot space but the wagons get a donut tank to fit in the spare tyre well and the spare tyre is then braced into the cabin.

Keep it in mind if you're not too worried about limiting your potential to increase power through mods.

maybe 350 per tank usually try to get 400 but that involves driving like a grandma

http://hidebehind.com/img/2F/2FFA9E.jpg

i soughly get this this now everytime around the 380km from full, to empty like on

worked out usually 380kms/47-48litres

was consitently getting over 430km/48litres when i first got the car.

on the highway the car is no better, just tipping 400km/48litres from 99percent highway driving (heading to rockhampton to see the rentals)

there are no engine mods at this stage, no real mods at all, just complete maintainence and OEM parts

being new i need to ask a few q's, who/can the stock ecu be 'tuned' as in mixtures adjusted and what not, and when on the highway the car struggles to reach 1/3 on the temp gauge, and sits just under half all day everyday around town? any suggestions?

Sounds like your thermostat might be held open causing the car to run rich until it warms up (even though it is).

Sounds like your thermostat might be held open causing the car to run rich until it warms up (even though it is).
:stoopid: Do it, should cost less than $30 for a new thermostat and gasket, and take 10mins to install.

Also, if you disconnect your battery for a while you can "retrain" the ECU; if you leadfoot it after a disconnection, it'll be trained to chew through the petrol but give more power, if you grandma it it should be more efficient but might lack a bit of grunt when you boot it. Maybe try driving with a happy medium for a few days after disconnecting the battery. Oh, and watch out for stalling at the worst possible moment, ie. under breaks and turning, like coming into a roundabout; try to go through a wide range of load situations (brakes, power steering, air-con, high-beam, etc) in a safe environment.

Last 2 tanks.

500km and 350km's.

Note to self it cost me > 20$ extra to drive my car aggressively.

Just had 8.75 litres per 100k and 9.1 litres per 100 k from my last two tanks full from my v6 (a lot of highway driving in there).

At least my engine seems in good tune...

My TS 4cyl auto used to get between the 420-450km mark.. was always between 45-47L refilled when the empty light illuminated. Thats combined city/highway.

Well i thought id share my latest achievement, lol.

512km from 54Litres (premium 95). which is 9.48km from 1 litre or 10.5 Litres per 100km
best bit is, 100% CITY driving :D :D

im pretty happy with that

Damn you must drive your car hard, I rev mine hard all over melb (90% city driving) and the worst I can get with the DOHC is 500 kays of 60 litres (and mines a verada wagon so its heavier)

okay well I got 320 kms out of a FULL tank that's from little red light on, needle above "F" and until little red light on again. dismal!

i can only ever get about 47 litres in... i dont know why eg if my tank has a build up or else. It doesnt worry me though.

If someone knows the cause they should tell me though.

i now do about 60,000 klms per year , i use a bp fuel card always standard unleaded , i have only ever got 68ltrs in to the tank , but i work it out on how many Ltrs i put in and then what it takes to refill , my best with the extractors was 608klm on one tank and still had 5 ltrs in reserve , that was on a trip to canberra , my worst was 420 when i had a few cracks in the extractors , normal city driving i get about 520 , i also carry between 200 and 300 kilos with all the catalouges and samples i have , cheers norm ,

That's quite impressive :shock:

what can i say? after all, i am legend :cool:

Holidays 60.2 ltr for 630km and a mean average of 10ltr per 100 for city and hills driving. I don't think my engine is running very well either. It always seems to lack the get up and go, sluggish acceleration and does not seem to spin freely. Have new motor and trans going in a week or so, hoping it will be much improved.

I'm getting 10.7ltrs/100km with the GTO engine. This is including a mix of highway, spirited and suburban driving.
Great thing about these engines are that they consume less than the standard Magna 12V's.
What fuel consumption are you getting with your engine AJ?

I think that will be your problem right there.

Then again, that economy is very good.

Hahaha it's sad but true, these cars are guzzlers 4cyl :bowrofl:

I know mines getting something crappy cause I push it hard, my mates were suprised how it goes, they automatically think its gonna be sluggish, but it pulls. Probably blow up one day hope im not in it.

Thumbs down to after 3 years of ownership paints peeling on the roof!

Time to sell sell trade trade in lol

Well it should better than this, although the exhaust manifold has a leak that's screwing with the mixture sensor, not to mention the auto was in power mode last week and overdrive is never used... no wonder it's bad. lol

94 TS V6 auto.
style: granny.
200-250km, mostly city driving, and mountain roads.

if i drive like a hoon, i could drink the whole tank (needle above F to constant orange light) at around the 200km mark.

Dumped 1/3 a bottle of Injector cleaner in the system, results are fantastic. Still need to wait until the next fill up but so far i'm giving it 2 thumbs up.
