:P..hehe.. you said freaky dickie :P

 

ha... juz set a personal record. 426km wif 50L of petrol.. arnd 8.6km/l

 

Wow! I am suspecting you pushed your car for a quarter of that distance.

 

haha.. in fact... for put of tis tank i actualli went to drive very aggressive for a while.. like mayb 8-10km... those redline kind.... but weird la... i'm ralli surprise.

 

461km with stock auto. this is the best i've got. normally around 400km. usually if i try to escape from rush hour, 400km is pretty easy to obtain. just curious, i wonder whats the FC for the 350Z.

 

Emperor: Lets change the title of this thread to: Best FC you got thread. Its more upbeat -- rather than having people whinging about poor gas mileage.

Let's change the prevalent perception of the car -- otherwise, the reputation of this car will always be: beautiful car but poor torque and poor gas mileage! Can't help our re-sale value.

Getting 8+km/litre seems more common thatn one thinks.

 

Manage to clock 490km on 55 litres.. rev above 4rpm on a daily basis... I love Shell 98.

Keep your tyres pumped up. All tight and turgid. No excess baggage, No mother/father in-laws.

PI, stock status.. 3 weeks old.

Cruise: Not to dis your comments but i am not sure if the different brands of gas makes a huge diff. I have gone through the lot... you might get fractionally more with Shell (which I don't) but with the price differential, I think even SPC may workout the same. Btw. My favour of the month is Caltex! But I suspect its an imaginery difference. Since they all give me a range of 480 to 520kms pr tank. I also found out that even when the needle is right at the very last notch (way past yellow lights), you have about 5 litres left, much to my surprised.

The 8 is a natural anti-parents in law vehicle -- its too low down for them get into nevermind sit in! ;-)

 

huh? My light comes one when theres 10 litres left, how come yours at 5? And i thought i read in the manual its about 10 litres too?

 

I think lowrider meant to say that 5 litres was "way past yellow lights"... Cheers!

 

Wow you guys get up till 520 km!!!

 

Flavour of the month? hahahah... Pure Vanilly with Cream...

Whatever the case is ... its simply to share that the 8 is not as fuel hungry as some ppl would think... most often they would comment that its going ard 5.5 to 6km/l...

Reason why im going to Shell is simply of its proximity (200m).. and accumulating 1000points = $40 worth of petrol... Whats SPC offering?

I meant that the needle was at the last notch of the indicator. And i had to drive it for a while longer too to get to the nearest station. (I ran out of gas 10yrs ago once on AYE at 4am... and raining too. )

Anyway, I was surprised that when I did fill it back up again, it was only 58l. All this time I was expecting the car to die on me in the middle of the highway that late evening.
Well, besides the near anxeity attack, at least now I know that there is still quite a bit left in the tank.

 

Thats scary. I only ran out of gas once while wheeling a scrambler along serangoon when it was desserted. It did not have a fuel meter and i revs so hard that keeping mileage did not work.

I never ever let that happen again by keeping the tank at least 1/4 full.
