Experiment - Fuel EfficiencyVehicle: 1991 Nissan Pintara T.I Supermtfhatch
KMs: ~ About off the top of my head 170800
Last service: ~Month ago
Extra weight: Budgie's Cellulite
Mods: I know its stupid and will be rectifying it soon with proper CAI but I have a pod...in the engine bay...
Fuel: Used to use Shell Racing (never looked at the mileage but I remember when I first got the car I think it go like 250km lol, after a few full tanks easy 400+
Driving type: In this instance prob 50% Highway, 50% Suburbia
Driving style: very sedate, occasional quick take off at the lights.
Tyre pressure: 36PSI
Aircon/window usage: None as per above post had mentioned, earlier had gotten around 400km with air con on constantly, now I am driving without it on and with one window down... the passengers as mine is a bit temperamental...
Cruise control: Used but and I know it sounds weird but I swear it chews more with it on.. will have to somehow measure that one.
Now that is out of the way, previously when I got 400km, it roughly meant for every 1/4 of petrol I had used, I had driven 100km.
As this pic shows (taken yesterday), for the 1st 1/4 I got around 176km.
As the next pic shows Near half the tank is gone and I have driven almost 260km...
At this stage I had a few passengers and did take off quickly a few times.
With this in mind I reckon easy 500km pass, prob if I play my cards right 550... will try to push for 600km lol.
It also signifies the effects of air con on fuel consumption (which is obvious) and while it doesn't take any of the power of the car... thank you KA it nevertheless is something to consider.
Updates soon stooges....
