400km a tank! man that is brutal

i have been getting on average 525-550km a tank so far this winter, thats 50% city driving and 50% country road driving ha...all highway i can get closer to 600km

and in the summer no matter the kind of driving i never had a tank get under i think 650km

 

thats not even that bad! I get low 300s per tank all the time - pretty much all city. I'm hoping the next few things I do will change that

 

ouch...that is pretty low for the NA motor! I'm getting 400-500 on my turbocharged motor, and it has 280bhp....

 

Don't use bhp use whp.

 

ya our winter tires dont help. i think next year i am going to try my dws tires on for winter and see how it goes.

I am driving to buffalo tonight so i am going to report back my highway results. my best is mid 700's

 

Lol pretty sweet mileage. Takes me a full tank to go to London and back home ha

 

tell me how you're doin it lol i'd love to see 500+ from a tank...

 

would adding an extra 3-4 psi in your tires help out?

 

haha umm i don't know there isn't much to say. i shift between 2500 and 4000 rpm, i usually drive 20 over for the most part, don't really go over 130 on the highways too often anymore (but thats for other reasons haha) and pretty much every morning i've let my car warm up for 5-10 min max

like right now i've got 560km on this tank, i've been to work twice (mississauga) and today i left work and drove straight to north bay and i have over an 1/8th of a tank left...

 

last night i filled up my car (gts) and by the time i left the gas station, i lost a tick off the scale :s ..not even joking.

 

the extra psi would probably help as you're reducing your rolling resistance...at the expense of a stiffer ride if you don't mind.

 

i'm already running the max in my tires... i went to etobicoke last night... 68 km one way to my sis's house... there and back 136 km and i went through almost half a tank...

 

lol alright...250whp! and give me a few months after the summer comes back...300whp, and even better mileage!!

 

^ aren't you afraid for the tcsst

 

No, it works fine in the Evo MR, and others have it tested to well above 300whp, but that seems to be the max for reliability. As the car is right now, the 0-4000rpm power is just about at max, so I should be pretty close to max torque. All the turbo swap will effectively give me is more high-end HP, since right now the power noticeably drops off after 4000.
