Hi, I'm new here. (n_n)

Wondering what the fuel consumption my fellow Singaporeans driving in Singapore are experiencing... and how they manage good fuel economy on their RX-8?

to my knowledge different driving styles, transmission types and aftermarket or personal modifications can make the number quite variable... so makes it quite interesting for me to find out.

Thank you!

 

approx 8km/L to 9km/L. for JDM 6MT

 

Mine is very jialat although i never lut...ppl sae after run in should be better but mine is worst. I getting 6plus to low7km/l

 

Wah! What about when your car was stock? Also, sorry I am quite a newbie to car terminology... what is "run in"? (@_@) thanks!

 

haha...i also dunno whats run in..

maybe we can have a thread for terminology for newbie to refer...anyone who encountered new words can add on to the thread?

 

mine is a 6MT : - FC around 8.5km/l most of the time ....

 

My car is still stock....and run in mean 1000km

 

4AT... change from a 16 inch to 18 inch... usually can run abit more than 400km before top up... and i top up when the light comes on... funny thing is, the FC actually improves after i change my rims... thought maybe the circumference smaller than the 16 inch rims...

 

I'm getting about 6.5km/l for 60% city driving and 40% high-way. My best record was 8.15km/l when I did 80% highway for the full-tank. And I'm not that heavy footed... mostly 2500rpm to 3000rpm...

 

any idea how many litres of fuel left when the low-fuel indicator lights up?

 

When the orange indicator does its appearance.. its 6.5-7 litres remaining. Tried and tested many times on mine.

By the way, its safe to do 1-2km more after the needle goes below the last marking.

 

wow... my ***** skrink once the needle touches the last mark... u actually went below it...

 

His ***** bigger ma..so shrink less...hahahaha

 

Heh i only top up petrol when my trip meter goes past 450km...then abt 50l of petrol will go in.

 

Today I just finished my second tank. I went for another 60km after the orange light came up. Total mileage would be 465km on 58 litres. That's is 8.03km per litre. I'm still running in my car. I registered only 7.2 km per litre on my first tank.

 

Hello all, may I ask how did all of you get so good FC on your 8??? Mine's 4AT on 16 inch wheels and I'm only getting 7km/l..... the only time I got about 7.5 is when I twaaaaaeeed my car ..... strange isn't it??? could you provide details of your petrol brand as well?>? Cheers.

 

Funny thing is the more you drive like a Sunday granny, the higher your FC will progressively become. Your rotary needs to be driven hard every now and then - the so called "clear carbon". Your FC will be high during the time you drive it hard but then on normal days, try to drive smoothly and you should see better FC figures.

 

thanks sgflyer...... then can I ask something silly?? maybe to coupe07 or the guys at mg.... is there any way that we know how much carbon is deposited into the engine?? besides opening it up of course.

 

nope. no other way except opening it.

To prevent it, do occasional high revs and use the correct oil.

 

7km/L is pretty good... me can only get 5.5-6km/L

 

Spykie,

U always Zooom Zoom... that is why you are getting only get 5.5-6km/L

MDC

 

I never zoom zoom also get 6.6km/l
