For sure if you do a lot of highway you'll see it much better, but I wouldn't concern myself too much with that when driving a Z lol.

Some say an intake actually helps fuel economy but I truly forget.

if you dyno tune the car after you get the intake maybe. For me with all stock components the best i have done is 9.3L/100km and that was on a drive from Toronto to Quebec City, So all highway pretty much. other than that stock i was able to get it at around 10.3-10.4L/100km. NOw that i have HFC, CBE, and CAIs its a different story. The CAIs made the biggest dent in the fuel consumption, i have the AEM ones and they do some black magic with the MAFs so my fuel consumption with 70-30 HWY-City is about 11.7L/100km. All city hits close to 15L/100km

My average in the city is around 11.6L/100km. Lowest was < 8L/100km when I reset the fuel economy thing while driving on #1 highway. I have a CBE and that's it.

I get about 560km to my tank close to 600. I've been known to baby my car though so im a little bit of an exception lol

My gauges show 15.8l/100 km. This is 90% city driving. Is this normal?

I'm still breaking the car in (500km so far) and don't go above 4k (went over maybe 5 times total).

Also, I had 3 dots left and went about 480km before I decided to fill her up myself for the first time. How many kms do you guys get per tank? Do you guys fill her up when its flashing or...?

I never checked and I really don't care! I went from 8 to 12 in the H2 after I put a Duramax in it

I'm getting around 650kms per tank. I'd say maybe 250-300kms are hwy.
I do occasionally rip it but drive like a granny the rest of the time. For regular city driving I think I normally drive at 2k rpm and end up shifting at 3-3.5k most of the time.

zefaulter · 07-11-2013, 02:47 PM

I have done this a couple of times with 650km/tank. I'm surprised I haven't faced the fuel starving issue

I get approximately the same 600-650km/tank I can drive heavy at times and like to launch from all stops (controlled acceleration to the speed limit is perfectly legal

)

I always use the same 91 octane ethanol free V power from either one of the same 2 shell stations + regular oil changes every 5-7000km or some where in between. I do it every 8-9 weeks which in total is 3 times over the course of the Z driving season

zefaulter · 07-11-2013, 07:10 PM

You gas up every 8 weeks? Or change oil?
