terran u speaking sense men want to compare how much gas they burning when one man driving 2 miles a week and the other driving a 100 miles a week

what u need to do ir watch your odometer meter and record your mileage (eitherin km or miles)
each time you fillup record how much u spend in fuel and also record your mileage
after a month of driving add up the amount of gas u put and divide it by 4 if u use premium and 3.7 if u use super this will give u the number of liters u used

now add up your total distance travelled and divide it by the number of liters u used
this will give a better rep of the km/l or miles/liter and u will have something to compare
instead of comparing marbles to mangoes

Another thing, my mileage is based on using premium gas.

When I used super gas, economy was even better - about 28-30mpg - but was detrimental to performance.

my odometer don't work so i really can't say for sure, i drive from chaguas to grand bazzar everyday and minor in the area runs

Chaguanas to GB (on the highway) is 10km. So use that as a basis to gauge how much driving you are doing (and the conditions - traffic, free flow, stop and go, etc.).

I have a blacktop 20v 5fwd AE110 GT Sport
2" Magnaflow exhaust, iridium class 6 plugs, Shaffeur Oil, 15" 205/50/15 Nankang tires.

running around 425-450 on a tank of super, heavy running might drop it to around 400.
hitting pos everyday from piarco and back and chag on weekends. spend around $75-$90 to top up once a week.

that $250 premium not too right hoss, check ur engine man something wrong there yes.

defkerron, your figures are almost twice better than mine - your car being manual and seemingly enjoying more cruising than I do.

But, mikeae91 still hasn't told us what kind of running and distances he's doing.

grand bazzar and home which is chaguanas and then endeavour then back home might have to go freeport i do alot of small in the area runs,.. but i still think it burns alot..
defkerron thaz real bess mileage u getting 400 -450 piarco to pos and back i think if i have to make that same run it would cost me alot more that you..

Terran · Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2009 11:18 pm Post subject:

mikeae91, then something is definitely wrong. Even if I moved around as you did, I'd probably burn around $100 for the week.

100 what super or premium
i'm not sure whats the problem i cleaned throttle change oil and plugs injectors same probs

what about if my oxygen sensor bad plus the car idles like 1300 ever since the engine was transplanted it never idles correct.

whats the cost of a oxygen sensor for it

Read my posts... I use premium only.

I know you've posted a few threads about your maintenance issues, so I honestly can't think of what is causing such excessive gas consumption. The high idle is a factor. That is way too high. My engine idles at 800rpm.

Just got 330KM on full tank of super (40 ltrs) $108.
Which is about 40km more than i am accustom getting (i put it down to new PCV valve)
I don't understand why some men gettting 400~450Km on a tank.
I know that you suppose to get better gas milage with a manual as oppose to an auto which is what i have but 100+km that is rediculous unless the size of there tank significantly bigger.
defkerron, how big a tank you have?

330 i think i need to get my odometer working

defkerron · Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2009 2:35 pm Post subject:

yeah boy my tank is a 50L one so it will hold around $130 of super.
my idle is around 930rpm.

i have never run it down to under quarter tank, and usually then it has around 360-380 or so on the tank mileage. It has been so ever since i got it around a year and a half ago.

dmitc · Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2009 4:04 pm Post subject:

defkerron, that's more like it on a 50l tank mines should do ~415km.
I can live with that.

Terran · Posted: Wed Jul 08, 2009 5:11 am Post subject:

Yuh see, all yuh men using super. I using premium. I'm not going back to super. When I tried that, I thought my engine was going to die and I've had enough car issues in the past.

If you guys were using premium, and assuming you'd get the same mileage as you would with super, then fordmitc, your 330km would cost you $160 - like what I am currently experiencing.

And defkerron would probably pay closer to $190 to refill his tank.

Still, these kinda figures are below what I expected to get out of a 20V.

Terran, It hurts my heart to use super but it hurting my wallet more to put premium. Define difference in performance, but right now as long as the engine not knocking i willing to run the super well as least till i get another job

i understan what terran saying super has the car feeling dead and to me the car sounds rough with premium u get power and car runs smoother and quieter
