[low-eb]

just curious to see what every one else gets from a full tank of petrol, name your mods to if you have any.....

[glenneaux]

My car:

EBII Fairmont

EL XR6 Motor
EBII T5
3.23 (or 3.27?) Factory LSD
Stock exhaust manifold, catback 'zorst.

Managed 600km out of the tank and i filled it before the light came on.. this was mainly freeway driving.. cruising at 110 at 1900-2000rpm in 5th.

[Hybrid34]

My Car:

ED Falcon Classic 1994
KnN Pod, 2.5" to the cat
4.0ltr Done 199,098km
On unleaded I get 450km - 500km in the streets ocasinoally giving it some gas
On Vortex 98 I get 500 - 530km in the streets

[TZAKHAMMER]

My E-series does 520km per tank on average, and yes i drive like a granny!

my car,
4.0l Brock SE EA
260k on the clock, Engine Stock, riding on 18"
I recomend BP Ultimate.

[frost]

Completely stock 96 EF XR6
Red Back 2-1/2" exshust

I cry if I get under 500km to a tank average is around 600-650km mind you theres rearly a time where I'm stop starting

I use what ever unleaded is cheapist at the servo when im filling up.

[bArNsY]

My old 93 ED fairmont 350,000 on the clock, got 650km hwy driving with aircon on only had extractors and cat-back 2 1/2 exhaust

[daz82]

1995 EF Fairmont
2.5" red back single muffler from the cat
4.0ltr Done 62k kms
Between 400km and 750 km from heavy street use to long distance hwy stuff.

I think my EA gets better round town consumption, but the EF is miles better on the hwy/fwy.

[EDXR6T]

[EDGHIA]- 350-400 if im lucky :P need to drive like a granny a bit more i think

[PHoeNiX]

EF Gli. Exhaust, panel KnN. shift kit.

400-600. depends on how i decide to drive.

see how i go once its manual....

[El_Poochino]

95 EF XR6 Wagon (72L? tank) 5 speed.
Stock as a rock.

Get about 700kms per tank. 90% highway, 5% moutain pass 5% city/town. From Wollongong, through the moutain pass on the Illawarra highway. Hume till Albury then to Yarrawonga some random little cruise arund Yarra and back to Albury before I touched the red. So could push it to 750kms if I was brave and wanted to walk for petrol.

City driving, wouldn't know haven't measured. Maybe 400kms.

On BP Ultimate. 95% lady like driving (I use all of 2nd every now and then).

[XR8 Uterous]

lucky to get much over 300km on a tank.

Trip computer is current reading at 19.8L Per 100km. Was at 20.2 at one stage.

Stock EL Fairmont Ghia btw.

[Cameronhayward]

1996 EL falcon futura 4lt
173000km 2.5" exhaust
and i get around 450km to a tank

[castek]

stock el fairmont, just extractors and zorst, i get over 600k's on a highway run, and around 450k's around town. but i am pretty hard on the throttle (to the speed limit, not over) and she is running a lil rough as well. my old car would give me around 350k's on the freeway, revved at 2700rpm at 100k's

[DEVL-XR]

Well the last Black Spur cruise I got high into the 600km's, thats country driving and mountain driving so its pretty good!

EB2 XR6
2.5" Catback
K&N Pod Filter

[Nashy86]

Mine can range anywhere between 400 and 750k's depending on the driving

My trip computer tells me I average 10.3L/100k for my driving over the last 3-4 months (since the battery was last disconnected) but I don't pay a whole lot of attention to that

[Krytox]

96' EF2, Manual, Headers, 2½", 3.23:1.
Metro I get 450 avg 12.7l/100
Hwy I get 780 (i recall 7.6l/100ish) with AC
Only clocked 800 once.

[Dezza]

I managed 600kms with mainly highway driving, but that was when the car was completely stock, complete with auto. Now it's manual, theoretically I should get even more out of a tank, but I haven't done as much highway driving since

[SLY*302]

97 EL fairmont Ghia 5.0 ltr V8
stock i used to get around 400km on regular unleaded on BP altimate i get around 450km. on the highway i got 680km.

now that i have done a few mods, headers, high flow cats, 75mm throttle body, 3inch MAF, i still get around 450. now on the highway i get round 700. (running 98 octain)

[low-eb]

hmm either i drive like a fukhead or my car is runnin rich ill be lucky if i get 300 this week lol next week im not gonna give it a boot at all and see whta i get

[Obriza]

95 EF XR6 S/C
Averaging about 400km. When i first got the car did about 300km and did almost 500km hwy driving a couple of weeks ago.

[eb91xr6]

my colt 500 to a tank of around 32L 6.4L/100km

the falcon im lucky to get 350 but thats a weekend car and it dosnt granny,

[eMpTy]

Not totally sure on the EB XR8 as the odometer has packed it in but $30 of PULP will run around town for a full week, usually still got 1/4 tank left. Alot of big hills around here too. On a highway run I get from here to launceston (touch over 150km) and use between 1/8 & 1/4 tank (depends how spirited the trip is)
Mods are limited to cam, CAI and twin 3" straight through exhaust.

EB GLi is lucky to get 3 days driving out of a tank of PULP, probably 300km.

Amazing how much difference the manual in the XR makes compared to the "plant the foot to get moving" auto.

450km's

[joly]

EA 4.0L MPFI w/ 4-speed conversion, 2.77:1 diff, cruise control, Pacemaker headers.

~700km to a full tank (station wagon tank ~75L??). Mix of thrashing and granny driving, but about 70% on th highway, and the rest hauling *** around the city.

Gotta say though, I'm stoked about that figure!! Too bad I'm looking at getting a new wade cam VERY soon!

[low-eb]

**** this somtin must be rong with my car lol

[Jason[98.EL]]

98 EL

average around 650ks to a tank around town if i take it easy

on the highway i get around 700 at a guess (never done a full tank just on a highway)

jason

[webby_191189]

96 EF wagon - stock atm

got just over 800kms to a tank with a lot of polite driving and it was 95% highway driving.

[adumb]

EL Fairmont Ghia

not enough!

i fill up pretty much every week and usually put half a tank in and i've normally done around 300ks, so maybe 500ish to a tank
