Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 8:45 pm

Ryan, are you using 91 or 95 (or 6 or whatever...I don't use that stuff at the moment), mate found that he gets more K on the higher octane...don't use 91 on it though...

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 8:50 pm

yeah marty told me to use 95/6 and yes more economical and it seams to run smoother...... :wink:

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 8:52 pm

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 8:55 pm

You call that expensive :?:

That's cheap! Try $123 to fill up (from dead empty that is - and that was a week ago... prices have gone up since then) and getting about 350-400kms out of a tank!

Then you chuck a 2.5 ton boat on the back and you are lucky to scrape up 300kms out of it.

I exagerate not. And for those of you that don't know, I am talking about a LWB Safari with a 4.2l straight 6 petrol. As you can imagine, it's not a daily runabout...

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 9:02 pm

well i could say something like if you can afford the bout the you can afford to tow it??? but i wouldnt say that haha :lol:

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 9:04 pm

Put Mud tyres on the boat and take it into Rallywoods? :lol:

I can go a little bit better than that at $142 a fill and just manage 400kms per tank for long distance highway driving

Sadam_Husain · Post by **Sadam_Husain** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 9:19 pm

I think jandal size has the biggest bearing of fuel consumption

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 9:21 pm

Is that why you have to keep replacing the floorpan every WOF :lol:

becuase the rust cant handle the weight of his hoof and jandal :lol:

Only find red bands in my truck not jandals

I think the wof guys are breeding rust on my truck floor pan to keep themselves in work :shock:

V8's and fuel consumption huh. Can i chip in??

My partners old man has a Ford GTP, ya know, the 290kw beast. Well, it went out of warranty a few months ago, so he went and got some work done to it. Dyno'd at 347kw.

He took me for a spin, and its got one of those instant fuel usage meter thingys in it (prolly so you can keep fuel usage to a minimum :wink:

)

Anyways, here we were, roaring along and he said have a look at the fuel meter..........................................

It was happily sitting at its max reading of 99.9 Litres of fuel being used per one kilometer. The gauge won't go any higher, but imagine if it did, would love to have know exactly how far i would have had to walk home if he had kept his foot up it :lol:

Now thats fuel consumption :shock:

It does have the power to go with it though :twisted:

lol yeah my skline makes 340rwkws and it uses alot of fuel
it has no closed loop ego sensor either so it runs rich while cruising and idleing

dont spend alot of time cruising tho its either heavy breaking or heavy acceleration
