RPW does the tune there...

I have no idea if that timing module will affect anything, you should ask the RPW guys.

POWARGH!!!



And... Was reading 5L/100km on the freeway home and 7L/100km on non-freeway, better than I've ever seen it.


Quite pleased.

I got worse fuel economy after my exhaust and flash, I use nearly a litre/hundred more on the freeway to work in the afternoon and about a litre/hundred more at around 1 am when going back home on freeway.
example on a decent day if I don't use aircon I could get down to maybe 5.8 litres/hundred on the freeway to work at 2.00 pm now more like 6.6
NO !! i don't drive like a hoon

it will be not fuel economy after any type of modification for you engine, i was 6-7 litres/hundred after i mod timing control and intake and Exhaust , it come up to 9/hundred, if turn on aircon it will be around 10.4/hundred, but never mind i have more fun after that :P

Guys,
As has been discussed before,if U R all looking at the average number as U drive along that slowly changes that is not an accurate measure at all.

if U look at the figure over a period of time as U drive lets say on freeway and U look at the instantaneous figure from the bar graph underneath at a constant throttle setting U will usually see a big difference.

After a long freeway run, the best figure on the average digits I ever saw was 6.8L/100,.... EVER.
I have a 2L manual.

When I fill up and check consumption from total dist and fuel used I usually average about 10L/100. Sometimes 9-9.5.

I usually have a mix of freeway(non peak time) and street driving.
I.d like to know what U R all getting when U fill up and calculate your ACTUAL consumption that way.
I FIND YOUR LACK OF FAITH DISTURBING......

Last tank I got 8.89L/100km. A lot of highway driving then though. (before tune. worked out off the fuel bowser and the trip meter, I don't trust the usage meter either).

I plan to do that for the next few tanks (I got the tune partway through this current tank so I haven't started yet).

Anything before then is just speculation but my range is dropping unusually fast.

I checked mine in suburban driving yesterday and it was on 16.1 :shock:

I didn't take revs above 2 grand after that and it was sitting around the 6-8 mark though

I was complaining about worse economy because thursday night my range dropped 120 in about 40km.
Last night it actually went up even after driving about 100km.

So f***** if I know, I'll just mostly ignore everything it tells me from now on :P But its looking like its about the same as it was before the tune (again, all speculation until I work out the numbers).

Got back in the car and realised I was on 3000kms as well.
