Re: Fuel Consumption 1993 30x
I've had anywhere between 250 and 600. depends on a lot of things... how you drive, where you drive..

250 km's is low, assuming that you're not driving like a jackass. Have you done regular maintenance and tune-up??

Re: Fuel Consumption 1993 30x
could be alot of things. start with the simple ones get a tune up and check these.
tire pressure
alignment
spark plugs
plug wires
vacuum leaks
o2 sensors

If you have a Eunos 30x you're a right hand drive boy like me.
It should get 450-500kms off a tank, that's what I used to get with my 30x and it took 35-40L to fill.
I have a ZE in it now and it takes 35L and gets about 400kms off that. Start on easy stuff first, spark plug leads and spark plugs. Then start thinking about oxygen sensors.

Re: Fuel Consumption 1993 30x
+1 I read somewhere in the past that most vehicles are made to achieve around 500 km's per tank, regardless of the engine size or fuel tank size.RX8SE3P wrote:If you have a Eunos 30x you're a right hand drive boy like me.

BTW, you say that now that you have a ZE it only takes 35 L to fill? Did you put a different sized fuel tank in with your engine swap?
Re: Fuel Consumption 1993 30x
Well I fill up when it looks pretty much dead empty and it only takes 35L. I have driven it further for long periods of time and it then ends up taking over 40L. It's only a 50L tank and reserve is always going to be 10 or so L so you will read empty when you've used up 35-40L
