Fuel Consumption 1993 30x

[danialson]

hey dudes , just interested too know how many kilometres i should be doing with full tank of fuel .
my eunos 30x seems to only do about 250 kms compared to my old 91 corolla that did about 350 .
im just curious to see if this is normal .

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??

second that. changing my plug wires brought me from 250km a tank to 400+

[danialson]

lately ive been trying to drive as sensible as possible and im getting close to 300 for a full tank ,.
so what should i get checked to save my fuel ?

[mikeinaus]

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.

+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.

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?

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
