Fuel inefficient

[Fussy08X]

Anyone elses car tearing through fuel like its a twin turbo V8?

Ive had my car for two weeks now, fueled it up twice. Its done about 700km in total now and its struggled to reach 400km on each tank. Thats shocking. Is this normal? Will it become more efficient once I past break in? or am I in trouble here.

You should only get terrible fuel efficiency if you are giving it a boot full at every set of lights and even then it should not be woeful.

What is your efficiency? L/100km?

that isnt that much of a guzzler, on avg im getting 9.8L to 100kms, so a tank (when i fill up its about 41 litres) gets me about 420km's.

Yeah I'm hitting about 420-440ish each tank on my Auto GTS.

I was getting 8.5L/100k on good weeks (not much traffic) during the break in period. Now im doing ~9.8-10L/100k opening her up a bit every now and then + traffic omg lane cove rd

awesome! was gonna open a post on this...

i am getting 11.1/100km wtf LOL...well i do heavy *** traffic driving nearly everyday...the traffic down there is ridiculous and i live in the eastern suburbs, and the traffic isn't nice on anzac parade too in the mornings and nights....

but yea, my WHOLE TANK of V-POWER which is bloody expensive atm finishes around 350km...360-370 is stretching it and engine light comes on....

got car for a month already, filled up today again, will be monitoring...

[w arghh x]

I do half country driving half city. I give mine heaps when practicable and I average 7.8ltr/100km on the dash.....Filling up when there is 1/4 of tank left, usually cracked 500km.

Much better than my GC8 previous to the 86.

I did the Sydney / newcastle freeway, a distance of 126.1kms with an average of 6.4L per 100km. I was happily surprised at how efficient it can be. city driving consumes though, mainly because I'm hitting 6000 rpm b4 shifts

[Gir]

I get around 7.9l, but I was getting 7.2 during the break in period :P

[driftartist]

thats about what im getting about 420 km = 366 miles

You realise that the tank is only 50 litres right? Cars with V8's usually have much larger tanks. This car this very fuel efficient. Very spirited driving gets me 9L/100km's and granny driving got me 6.8L/100km's on a manual

[omgwtfbbqsauce]

Also adding to that could be the fuel your using, you should be using premium fuel and I have noticed that BP Ultimate gives you better fuel consumption than V-Power. Hope this helps

9l/100 atm.... mix of city/freeway. Way better than my old liberty... fkn 14l/100
