What Fuel Mileage?
What Fuel Mileage?
Just wondering if a few people could quote some real life fuel usage for their cars, I'm thinking mine might be a bit heavy. I've found that I get 400 Km per tank (35K after the light comes on, or 42-3 L and 11 US gal) combo City/Hwy Pure Hwy up to 500 Km at either 115 Km/h or 130 Km/h, it doesn't seem to like 120, my favorite speed. If you look at the torque curves though, there is a torque whole right in the RPM range used for 120, 3600-3900 RPM it's at the cross over for the flaps in the intake. BTW I think those fuel usages come to about 23 ish MPG combo 26 ish Hwy.

Re: What Fuel Mileage?
Yeah I am probably sitting about the same Biller. I do a Drive to my home two in B.c. it is about 480kms I use about 7/8's of the tank from right full to that level. The only thing to note is that I go from Calgary which is flat driving for an hour then I do pull through the rockies for the last three I do try to maintian about 110 km through the drive. This was at my last drive. Though recently the furthest it has beem is on a two all ALberta round trip drive and it burnt about 1/3 of a tank all highway which to me was way high. But just to add in for intrest sake. Peace
