Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. I feel better now after hearing about your mileages. For a moment I was thinking something is wrong with my car or some1 is siphoning it when im not looking lol.

If ive been looking at it correctly the counter has been reading something like 11.1km/litre. So im like one of the other posters on here lol where the fuel light goes on after about 350 km.
Although I shouldnt be doing it, I have been sorta hammering this car around the place even though I do stay below 4k most of the time.

Another thing is its true I forget how small this fuel tank is. I was comparing it to my s15 which has a 65 litre tank and would get me around 550km on a full tank. So I was thinking well if my old turbocharged s15 can get that much then surely a brand new modern day NA car would get me like 800km lol (exaggeration).

Sigh I guess ill just have to get used to visiting the bowser more often. Because if the car is eating fuel like it is now, then wait til i get through break in and that centre needle becomes free to hit that redline.

Mine is currently at 9.7l/100 or something similar. I ahve been driving it really quiet hard, so I am happy

Mine is at 10.6l after 170k, just topped up, cost me just under $30..

Kinda think the dealer didnt actually fill it up, just filled it till the meeter was on full haha.

My BRZ had 14km on it when I picked it up a month ago. I now have 2100km. The first few hundred I averaged around 11 litres per 100 km. After 2100 km my average over the whole distance is 7.2 litres per 100 km.
The engine is definitely very tight when first delivered.

Hmmmm, i am still a little concerned and think there may be a mapping problem in some of the cars (possibly). On the long drive back form adelaide where i managed around 6.9/100 which was great (all highway k's).

I am now getting nowhere near the average and i am down the very end of the economy scale. My last 1.5 tanks i averaged 10.2 which was all city driving, but babying the first half a tank.

I have put in a new tank and am down to 9.0, but i have to REALLY push to get this i.e using a downhill for more speed to climb the next hill etc. If i drive how i would normally drive i can only get around 10.3.

I have an auto GTS.

thoughts?

fuddbutter · 09-10-2012, 11:35 PM

9 is not too bad for city driving and being an Auto..
I would be happy as larry to get 9, i am sitting around 9.5 at the moment (manual)
my last car was closer to 14 - 17

Fussy08X · 09-11-2012, 02:59 AM

lol how are u guys in the 9s. im still stuck in 11s. ive never seen anything other than 11s

70NYD · 09-11-2012, 03:33 AM

Guys, it's a sports car, right?
10 combined with city/highway/occasional trashing is fkn great
If you want a lower consumption car get a fkn yaris or Prius or corola lol
On a engine like this, a highly strung NA, babying it constantly will not help long term performance
You got a good looking sports coupe that manages 9-10/100 combined, you should be extatic!

Nezz · 09-11-2012, 03:55 AM

Modern cars are set up for E10, generally, and the 86 is no exception. 10% eth 100 should be fine, just a shame it's not that widely available... If I developed engine problems from using a fuel recommended by the manufacturer (>98 octane, <15% ethanol) I'd get up them about it...

EDIT; Also, I agree with the poster above. Flog it once in a while so it goes from DI to DI + Port injection or it'll never clean the valves.

I drive all around Sydney for work and I am averaging 8.5l/100kms which includes some mountain runs with Urban and Motorways. Get about 440 a tank....I did once get 500kms which i thought was pretty good considering its a sports car with a 50l tank and I do a lot of stopping and start all day.
