valla fuel consumption, how did you go?

amazeer · 2006-08-08T05:14:33+00:00

48 mpg out of my 1500 😀 but then I did cheat by it being a triple diamond 1500. Somewhat amazingly, I got to nambucca and put in 32.19 litres, then got back here.... and put in exactly 32 litres. But the first tank included a trip to raleigh and a few valla-nambucca-valla loops. So I actually used more fuel slipstreaming fish at a steady 100kmh than I did at 5-10kms over the speed limit on the way up. :duh

Hi

I only did one check, that was from Buladelah to home, about 257 ks, filled up today with 25 litres, so about 10 litres per 100. This was in a $800 1973 1300 twin port and included chasing Leigh in his fiances 1300 powered 1303 along the F3 and flogging it up the hills and then some Sunday evening traffic in Sydney.

My 2.1 wasserboxer bug was much better in the past, it always got around 10-11 around town.

You might have got there cheap but even a clapped out 36hp would have got you there quicker than the train!!!!

I was in the same boat as you, I would rather have spent a fortune on fuel just to have my dub there.

Matt.

They tested all the crazy devices, including the magnets.

Not suprisingly the magnets did nothing, and the tornado thing reduced power by 10%. Read the other post...

Dunno, but my 75 1600 stock is on par with my 88 corolla.
But the Dub gets all the love, the corolla gets none.
