Fuel consumption figures too
 
Okay, this is probably not something that most people were looking out for yesterday, but we actually got fuel consumption figures based on the Australian testing format.

Manual is rated at 7.8L per 100km and auto is 7.1L per 100km.

To put that into context, the Corolla gets 7.3L per 100km in manual form. A WRX on the other hand is over 10L per 100km.

This fuel economy figure is actually really impressive. I don't know about you guys, but I figured out that every L per 100km is worth around $2k to me over 5 years.

Given that it has a high compression ratio I was expecting it to be quite efficient.

and this is everything you need to know about the car...

But it has confused me regarding the 80's era clock we've been 'blessed' with.
According to Nagaya's interior walkthrough it is a 'feature' of 'Neo Functionalism'.
And according to Section 16 it's to evoke Toyota's heritage.

This is obviously a most pressing issue to get resolved as I want to be able to respond informatively when my passengers inevitably wax lyrical about it. ;)

Fuel consumption also really depends on how you drive the car, if you're going to be VTECin this car all day long (a.k.a high revving it in suburban streets constantly, expect your fuel consumption to go through the roof)

LeftFootBrake 06-04-2012 06:47 PM

According to the ECU-cracking posts doing the rounds on here I've read, the torque dip in the rev range for relaxed driving is also a deliberate attempt to improve economy, too. So if you mod your ECU, you'll have the option to enjoy lower fuel consumption more often.

LOL! both @Maj3sty and @LeftFootBrake are right, Its been a while since I did chemistry, but either way, I think petrol evaporates eventually. =P

Dhans 06-04-2012 09:31 PM

it runs on 98% RON !!!!

davey90 06-05-2012 12:09 AM

Oh yeah! Speaking about octane... It's recommended to run on Premium 98 RON, what was the minimum octane it can run, does it even have a minimum octane level? I remember reading some where, someone said 91 RON. I think Japan runs like 100 RON or was it 102 RON.

BRZ manual recommended 98, but said 95 was fine too.

Dhans 06-05-2012 12:34 AM

I think it's better to stick with the recommended ones,IMO.. might prevent knocking

Hi I'm really worried about fuel consumption on my new FT 86 , I'm in argentina. So this version it's the same as SCION FRS. I'm getting around 25 litres every 100km where it should be around 7.8 for every 100km .
I've got the manual version , am I driving badly. I enabled the G on feature which tells you the proper timing to shift the gears. I pressume I might have a bad batch. Can you guys help me out. I've already used a 1/4 of the fuel tank and I've done 30km max.
What should I do?

Take it to a dealer perhaps?? :bonk:

ZZT86 01-05-2014 11:28 PM

Only one way to make power . . . .

archangel 01-21-2014 06:49 PM

Wait, how is the fuel consumption for all of you in the 7's? I have an auto but my reading average is 9.1 :( what gives I dont have a heavy foot I dont think lol

ZZT86 01-23-2014 05:15 AM

b/w 7.5-8 for me ! I do a fair whack of fwy you see :) If you have auto & do stuff all fwy then 9 is about right.

manonastick 01-23-2014 10:42 AM

averaging 8.9 with 800kms on the odo mind this is with putting load on the engine trying to break it in

tjf 01-23-2014 12:22 PM

GTS auto. Nearly 6,000 km, averaging 7.99 l/100 km, City 8.41 l/100 km, Hwy 6.59 l/100 km.

Blue86 02-09-2014 07:53 PM

9.7L/100 manual GT mixed driving

djmm 02-10-2014 06:53 AM

How bad is the auto fuel consumption if you trash the car?

tjf 02-10-2014 06:55 PM

My highest fuel consumption has been 10L/100 km in sports & manual mode.
Then again the car is capable of more then my driving skills allow.

djmm 02-11-2014 04:12 AM

So safe to say this car's fuel consumption when driven normally is more or less the same as corolla hatch huh?

Fizz 02-12-2014 02:03 AM

Im averaging about 8.5 on a mix of urban + hwy. My mum's 2013 Civic makes you fall asleep at the wheel and only manages high 7's

djmm 02-12-2014 04:59 AM

I'm not familiar with different engines from different cars, but comparing to say other 2.0L engines, is 86 ones considered efficient, or all 2.0L pretty much consume more or less the same fuel?

For the power output, it's pretty efficient. You could find more fuel efficient 2.0L engines, but they won't get 200hp.
