Just recently became a 300zx owner whoohoo. Love the car but what is killing me is the fuel economy. I have a 1989 (z32) 3 litre twin turbo. What are other people getting by way of fuel efficiency? Litres per 100kms? Want to see a 300zx mechanic in Sydney do you know of any? Thanks
Re: i get 300-350k's per tank 400-450 K per tank City Cycle 650-700 K per tank Hwy Cycle (using cruize control and no boosting ) So that's about 10L / 100km
i get 250 k's for 40 litres all the time urban. and thats b00sting it! :wacko: hmm... 250/40 X 65 (full tank l ) = 406 k's! (not bad.....)
14.93 - 16.58 L/100km I've started keeping a record each time I fill up; 28-07-2005 Driving : first 1/2 of the gauge was 240ks on the Binna Burra CruiZe, the rest was city driving Fuel : BP Ultimate kms : 375 Liters : 56 km/L : 6.69 L/100km : 14.93 03-08-2005 Driving : mostly city driving, 1 trip to the airport and back and a little fun with a white 300zx Fuel : Shell Optimax kms : 374 Liters : 62 km/L : 6.03 L/100km : 16.58 I drive my Z almost every day, usualy short trips (under 20ks) so she burns a lot of fuel sitting around warming up and cooling down.
NA zed, 450km before fuel light comes on (city driving)... with long distance highway driving, i've taken it out to about 580km before fuel light came on... Cheers
My TT gets about 300kms to 60litres sometimes 350-400 if highway driving, but I am looking at ways of improving this because I am not happy about it, I even have an ECU upgrade.
fuel consumption i get 300k;s out of 25 litres of fuel boosting it to redline every gear around town 900k's on the highway mods were at the time, 3" Dual exhaust, twin pods, 16° timing gapped plugs to 0.8mm and dump pipes ecu is questionable as i havent looked at it yet
Re: 900k's fwy?!?! R u shittin me? Thats 8L p/100k...thats barina consumption probably true, but only on 155 octane fuel
Screw all of you what the hell is wrong with my car!!!!!!!! Man I can't beleive this, how can I improve and get figures like that!!!!!???????? Dammit.
my numbers i get on average 400km in the city and around 580-600 highway. that's before my 100k service. i also replaced all injector connectors since service which is making a huuuge difference. so far i've got 250km just under the halfway mark. can't wait in the next 2 weeks, getting new o2 sensors and cleaning throttle bodies this weekend, should see more improvement :thumbsup:
Re: Screw all of you what the hell is wrong with my car!!!!!!!! i get crapy effeciency aswel 300 - 350km per tank. new O2 sensors did nothing to improve the figures
Ya...well mine f*%ked enuf that about 1/2 a litre ends up on the road... when i warm her up in the morning...yes it's fuel...i can light the sh!t. I have great plumes of fuel smoke idleing when she's driven lightly...ie traffic this morning, god so embarressed...and yes I'm doing something about it it's going in on monday
Re: Ya...well mine f*%ked enuf that about 1/2 a litre ends up on the road... reminded me of something. i need to get a fire estinguisher :zlove::zlove:
Probably has less to do with the car than it does your right foot :LOL: Strangely every year my car gets older, but my fuel economy improves. Go figure!!!
Your also getting older, meaning.... you drive more like a granny everyday:LOL: did you know Col that with a UNIfilter you would get even better fuel economy. Max:thumbsup:
