Topic: Club Member's Fuel Economy Thread

Just thought it would be interesting to see what economy people are getting between different cars with different configurations.


I have a 1996 Primera

5 speed SR20DE


L/100 at last fuel up: 7.58
City:Country ratio:     65:35
Aircon on around 45% of the time


I have to say I am very happy with that.

The car is stock standard 

[grim_reaper]

2012 Mazda 3
2.0ltr
6spd manual
50/50 city/highway.
Aircon 99% of time
7.7ltrs / 100kms.

[grim_reaper]

Long term winter economy has gone to 7.2 ltrs/100kms

Last tank of 91 octane got me 606kms from 42ltrs = 6.9 ltrs/100kms.

Stock te p10 engine, pod filter (ughh)
Tyre pressures: 34psi nitrogen (but more than likely just air)
Tyre: 185/65/r14
Driving style: All at country speeds, get it to 3000(ish) rpm and only
                    maintain it, barely speed up/slow down

Mileage: 1020 off 54L (what it took). With some passionate passionate passing 850-900km. Average 5.5-6.5/100km

Wow!

You must be very disciplined!

Performance/Economy mods:  recently oxygen sensor, new plugs, podfilter(prob worse)

Urban Fuel (L/100km)  12.82L/100km since oxygen sensor replaced

Chassis: RNN14
Engine: SR20DET
Transmission: 50 series AWD
Tyre Pressure: 38/38
Performance/Economy mods:  Stock

Urban Fuel (L/100km)  Unsure, but a half and half tank was just under 10L/100km

n14 m1 hatch with 2000 model ga16de fitted with race exhaust, sr20 throttle body, manifold modded to use n14 mtr loom, ported cyl head, 3"s/s cai, k/n pod , planed head for more compression, used 27l of 95oct to do 455km, mostly 110-120 cruising with overtaking, hauled a load of tyres[10] back from auckland, 16.8km/l, probably it can be nanna'ed to give 17.5-18k/l but not by me

Our stock P11 TE-V did 8.4L / 100km on a weekend trip to Tauranga which featured some, er, energetic driving.  It has now done 220,000km and the economy is still the same as when we got it.
