Kms?
 

Hi guys. I was wondering, how many Kms do u get out of 1 tank of gas. Or half a tank. Mt6 or 7AT?

For me it depends on how I drive her!

M6 gets anywhere from 5-600km per tank

Hard little <500km

Nice/highway 600km most I think ever was like 640km........

:iagree: Exactly what he said! 6MT, no mods.

automatic i got the millage down to 10.7L/100km combined highway and city. I drive it with the tip tronic, which oddly enough turns out to be more fuel efficient then the full automatic mode. The full automatic it does 11.3L/100km. So full tank from the rim to literally the car shutting off at the gas station, i've done 680km. On average though i do about 620-640km with about 66L of fuel. I don't let it go all the way down any more. As for highway only i went to Montreal a month or two back i was able to do 9.3L/100km which is about 760km-780km with 1 tank.

I get around 460-490 for normal city driving as in full tank.

However I somehow reached 720 for long highway driving. Harrison hot springs -> vancouver :)

I've done ~800 km mostly highway at 100 kph. The car took 68 l on fill up and was down to the last dot on the fuel gauge and the trip computer was reading --- for about 30 km.

i am getting 420 to 500kms a tank with my 7AT...how are some of you getting 700kms?

Do most keep the car under 2000 rpm?

They probably do a lot of highway driving. The difference between highway and city are astronomical for me (6MT). Mostly/all highway can get me to 700. Mix in an hour of rush hour traffic and city driving and it drops down to like 450 :(

I'm getting around 500km-575km full tank, city+highway driving. 6mt.

80km daily commute (last 6km is off fwy into CBD and first 6km from CBD to fwy on ramp) means about 660km per tank.

Highway driving will consistently give 780km-840km range. 2 years ago, I drove from Melbourne to Mallala circuit to the west of Adelaide (total trip was 890kms) at steady 110kph and put 69litres into the tank after 870kms - must have been running on fumes.

Track economy is 43 litres per 100kms

I'm in this range as well, how are some of you getting 6-700km ?!!?!

420-450 city driving

6MT here.

Mixed 50/50 local/hwy 68L = Consistent 520KM with spirited driving everytime on highway. (Same route everyday for the whole tank)

600~620 if i cut out that spirited. And yes, I keep it under 2000rpm to obtain that number.

Achieving 700KM per tank is certainly possible if driving 90% highway at <2000rpm most of the time.

However, please do note that you are driving a sports car. Please don't mind the fuel economy :) Enjoy the car to its fullest.

If you care about fuel economy, then you have chosen a wrong car, and should go get yourself a fuel saving car, or at least get one to offset the fuel economy :)

thats it I am buying a Prius


























Not :)

We don't keep our foot into it!!!:shakes head: The car is EPA rated for ~36 impg. So getting 31-32 impg is not difficult at 100 kph all highway.

I get about 300 to 350km. I only drive in 4th or minimum 6000 rpm however

You're either too fast or too furious.

as i said, if you want better fuel economy on the automatic, use the tip tronic and shift yourself. The automatic usually cruises in 4th-5th gear at 60km/h in the city. With the tip tronic you can kick it in 6th, it drops about 200rpm, which makes a difference. Then on the highway, if you need to accelerate and floor it, the car will drop to 5th, maybe even 4th if you are going abit slower. Which in most cases is unnecessary just dropping form 7th to 6th, going about 110km/h - 120km/h you will get enough power to over take or complete your acceleration. Similar to the city driving scenario that saves fuel too.

But ye as others said the city mileage vs. highway is very big. By my estimates highway you can do 9-10L/100km but city is more like 15-16L/100km. Driving to work and back (scarborough to downtown) i waste as much gas as going from toronto to kitchener 1 way.

:icon18::rofl2::tup: good one. If locked onto 6k rpm I would say to furious!


Big C - you are aware that our VQ engines tend to run on the hot side right? Because it would probably hit limp mode if you drove around at 6k rpm for any real length of time. Unless you have an oil cooler and other mods to support this kind of use. You are basically keep it at track levels on the street. CRAZY! Any way I guess at least I know I'll hear u coming!!........ And just as soon as u are there u would be gone!

so that's what that smell is? I do think I should get an oil cooling kit. That or an ice machine.

When I drive by I'll tip my hat like this! :tiphat:

on the hwy i get 700+ at 120-130 kms/h. city drops, not sure how much as i'm mostly on the hwy...maybe 4-500.

:icon18: I have a certain smell from mine to, only mine is due to the TP's. I am also considering a oil cooler kit though because I am looking into some up coming track days.......it would be pretty embarrassing to have your car go into limp mode at a track day.

Do you have a radar detector yet???? I am also wanting one of these to as I tend to :driving: it more often then not. I just hate the F*ing cops! next option is full carbon fiber body! :yum: (Apparently it is harder to get a reading off of a carbon fiber body, so I have been told. Plus it would be total sweetness to have!)

So i decided to try my luck and see if i can get the 550-600 that some of you are getting with a mix of city and hwy and bingo i am on track of getting those numbers,simple just never go above 2k rpm and you will do just fine...my Z is my daily so filling up after 8-9 days is ideal vs every 5 days....

How can u not go over 2k rpm in 1st & 2 nd gear? Wouldn't the car behind u be tailgating u?

:iagree: I in no way drive my car like that and I still get decent mileage. I mean when the opportunity is there I love putting the hammer down and throwing it sideways around corners. You shouldnt have to baby the car to get decent mileage out of her. When I shift it tends to be around the 4k mark for normal driving conditions.

yea i like to drive it hard but not excessive. Just floor it to 60km and seeeee you later!:ughdance: corolla's got nothing on me b!#@t!!

i have a lip kit i need painted and isntalled.

Haven't seen a carbon fiber body yet...:pics:?

how much do oil cooling kits go for and where buy?

thoughts? GO!

To avoid radar detection, line your hub caps with tin foil! Oh, wait. That was in another era.:icon17:

I don't think any kind of body material such as carbon fibre can avoid laser type radars. They used to say that vette's like mine with a radiator that is sloped at an angle vice vertical could not be detected in the good ole days because the beam was deflected upwards due to the rad angle. Probably not.

i get between 550 to 600 out of every tank. What i realized is when i fill up my car during the day i only get 500 with a full tank, but someone told me to try filling up first thing in the morning and i could get extra kms and it worked. i fill it up in the morning now and i get extra 50 to 80 kms more. you should try it.

Reason why? gas expands as the day goes by with the heat, but if you fill it in the morning you get more gas for your dollar.

but isn't gas more cheaper at night?

no it's not cheaper at night.. at least not here. gas prices change at midnight.

and I'm pretty sure the giant gas tank under the ground isn't affected that much by gas expanding and contracting lol

besides.. if you fill up at night it's just as cold (if not colder) than in the morning.

if im not mistaken the gas tanks underground are pressurized and keep the fuel at a constant temperature. If it were to expand the tanks would rupture. if you have the automatic and drive a lot best way to keep fuel consumption under wraps is to use the tip tronic and up-shift at 2600rpm, and keep the car at the highest possible gear at all times. The fully automatic mode takes in the throttle position as a variable and will let you rev up the engine in 3rd up to 4500rpm if not a bit more, before shifting to 4th,5th,6th, assuming you stop accelerating once you reach 60km/h. the mileage i got on my last tank was 9.2L/100km so its definitely doable.

I average 13.6L/100km with Toronto driving in traffic with some highway. I also drive aggressively so I don't expect it to get much better.

do the test yourself buddy. im just saying this from personal experience. i tried it and it worked. got extra 50k then filled it later in the day and got 50k less. its an average number. it worked for me but its to everyone else to try it

Just checked my fuel consumption on my vette - 34L/100 km. :eekdance: My tank holds 63 L. That equates to a fill up every 180 km if I run it to empty.
