I'm jealous of these numbers of the spec b owners have lol. I'd be stoked on 9s or 10s

I get on average 9.8l/100. Usually just get about 580/600'k per tank. Always on BP98.
Driving about 30% freeway and 70% stop/start traffic for 80ks per day.

I cruise around alot in 6th @ 60k/h to drop down the consumption.
Not super aggressive, always short shift, occasional drag off from the lines.

Freeway driving I think I got around 7.4-8L/100

99% sure my car has VIN tune (from STi Docklands) from the previous owner, hence the lower numbers, but still haven't confirmed that yet.

I averaged 19.2L/100km driving to work this morning. Do I win this thread? :lol:

Catastrophic Sydney traffic due to earlier crash. Took me 1h6m to do my 11km daily....

You are a lead foot Shiv!

I get 13-15l/100 normally on 98ulp and it doesn't bother me at all.


If I was after economy, I would have bought a Prius.........on LPG.

So much truth in this sentence

I think I've been averaging 10.2 at the moment although its been getting a fair beating around town lately, the sweet sound of the H6 makes it so hard to keep it below 4k rpm :D

Vin only changes above 4000rpm in his tunes, under 4000rpm is stock

Just to chime in on this one I've had mine tuned to suit the S/C I had fitted and the fuel consumption is around 14-15L/100km on 100% suburban driving. This is a calculated value using distance travelled compared with fuel input.

The thing is the display says 7.0 -7.5L/100km on the trip meter! Is there any way to correct this!?

I do pretty much 98% suburban :(. Shortish trips and traffic etc. I'll average north of 15L/100km easily if it doesn't see any roads with a decent speed limit and less traffic. Interesting to see how the Kido tune will drop thus :D, I'm not expecting miracles but I reckon it will be noticeable.

Yeah we shall soon see! I have't done enough k's yet to tell, but he did easily adjust the fuel consumption correction value so the readout should be right now as well!

Just had just shy of a grands worth of maintenance work done to my 03 3.0R and I'm still sitting around 7km/l around town and usually get the fuel light around 370 380 although that is a mixture of peak hour traffic through town and back roads with my foot down come the weekend.

Looks like I'm gonna need kido's skills asap after I remove the cats which I suspect are clogged and open up the rest of the exhaust a bit.

I'm getting 13.4 / 100 around town in I mode. Put it into S and it goes to 14+, so S mode only lasted half a tank. Car has 140K km on it. Auto too which won't help, but I drive like your Nana. Gotta get a Tractrix cable and the software stuff sorted so I can log some runs and get some tuning done.

I get around 12 or 13 l/100km in inner Sydney, which isn't as bad as I was expecting honestly.
I feel like a tune will sort some of that out though
