What kind of (city) consumption do you get from your 4Mo?

[PranK]

I can't seem to get more than 450k's from my tank (~12.5l/100.)

Its 100% city driving with an average trip being around 20mins (I work 12k's from home and the car doesn't get driven on the weekends...)

Just wondering what everybody else is getting?

Mine is horrible 300-350 a tank around city but i'm a lead foot at times:P but travelling on hwy i get around 8lt/100km sometimes slightly lower depending on traffic.

[kapowww]

12.5L/100km is pretty normal for me for city driving.

12.5L/100km is pretty normal for me for city driving.

My average is 15L/100
Worst I've had is 20L/100 for a tank (full tank gone in 298km)

I need help :(

Its on the cards atm. I drive like a nanna, never turn my ac on and still cant get sub 12l.

Good to know its not just me.

Sound of the VR6 alone is worth the extra coin :P

I really need to go back to a turbo..

[djorkboy]

In every day driving I rarely rev past 3500-4000 and that still lets me be faster off the lights than 90% of people and I certainly don't drive slow, just smooth I guess.

In Sydney I was getting around 11.5 L/100km, since moving to Canberra I get around 10.8 L/100km. I regularly get 530+kms out of a tank these days (which is a good thing as I drive 700+kms a week at the moment)

[Back Door Shenanigans.]

I get around an average of 11l/100 over a tank which is usually about 520km. Mind you thats pretty consistantly a tank of 62l and something 65 which is impressive in a 62l tank haha.

Ok, its a little unfair to compete when you have a larger tank! :) :facepalm:

[gringo_54_oval]

Yeah roughly the same 500klms from a tank.
CAI went in a while back and i was getting 350km a tank :p
Now im use to it.

so your consumption went up after CAI ?

[trickysimon]

Consumption goes up when you hear how good the CAI sounds at 6k rpm :P

It should be the same size tank as yours :?

[PranK]

Oh, i was just kidding cause you said you can get 65 into a 62l tank. :)

Maybe you have smaller petrol over that way. :)

Bhahaha that's more like it ! so keen !

[gareth_oau]

haha, I know mine's got 4 extra cylinders, but I average 20L/100kms around town in the RS4 and most of the travel is urban by the Mrs who doesnt have a lead foot.

I'm lucky to get 400kms from a 68L tank

[bundabora]

I get in the 10s running Caltex 98 around town, 12 - 13 Running BP Ultimate 98 / Shell 95

I get in the 8s on the highway with all fuels... seems to make no difference here.

Some think I am imagining things, but the fuels do make a difference to my car, I don't know why...?

[work]

I think I've got the same mechanicals as you bora guys, just maybe a slightly lighter body? Anyway, Just checked my trip computer, and over the last 2258 miles (3634km) got an average of 29.2mpg (9.7L/100) and 27mph (44kph). So that's a mix of traffic jams and highways and the odd country cruise. At the start of that 2k miles I was using 95, but have switched to 98 in recent months and have seen an improvement. Just had cruise control fitted too, so am hoping to see some benefit from that.

Yeah. I won't bring up my old GTR. :)

[Creampuff]
