Hi,
I've only driven my 2006 MPS3 < 1200km, but am noticing fuel economy has been inconsistent so far. Perhaps I am expecting the impossible and it's early days with the car, but I drive like granny 90% of the time. Been fuelling with BP Ultimate so far.
Tank 1: 400km/50L, city driving
Tank 2: 380km/50L, city driving - bought fuel at different BP and found performance of car not as good
Tank 3: 350km/25L (!), freeway driving
Any tips/checks - should I clean the MAF sensor?
Thanks
JB
looks ok to me....
12.5L/100km around town, 7L/100km on hwy...
these cars are horrible in stop-start traffic around town... boost comes on easily, and fuel goes out the exhaust pipe :p
Before switching to caltex I always used BP and max I got out of 45 liters was 375ks but NOW 425ks and I do city driving during peak hours so ye
Mazedit coming soon
Seems pretty normal.. I sit on about 13l/100 pure city driving thrashing it too
Sounds about right to me.
Nothing to worry about
Fair enough - can understand. Brilliant on freeway though! I'm probably getting better economy than my last car though - a very worn 1989 Honda Civic, 1.5L, was getting ~ 12L/100 before it's demise :DQuote:

I average 8.6L/100KM (only ~1,080KM old)
Tank #1 : ~470KM
Tank #2 : ~500KM
Tank #3 : 110KM (so far)
I don't really do much stop-start driving though. My trip to work is only ~10KM (each way) and is mostly back roads.
On the way to and from Kwinana Motorplex (Woop-Ass Wednesday Drag Meets) my fuel economy isn't at its best :rolleyes:
A 20km difference from two full tanks is not erratic, it is normal. Two different batches of fuel, two different results.
If it were two tanks of city driving with a 200km difference that would be cause for concern

I find the more fun your car is the less fuel you have when your finished having fun :)
I've also found bp ultimate to not last as long as caltex vortex 98, I regularly get 550 per tank
I use united 100 oct. The most i have ever put in my car is 48ltrs, If i dont get over 430k's im pissed! I see most weeks 500-550 ks before i put fuel in usually 44-46 ltrs
Its well know i dont drive 'normal' i like to push the GO pedal
I have put 55-56 litres in to mine once. Was shitting it that I would run out of fuel.
This was coming back from down South earlier this year.

I have used bp always but been meaning to jump to caltex or united as I just don't get consistent mileage anymore and that's from the same servo, I just don't trust the 100ron as I here it's just dosed to the s$&@hause with ethanol
