I find I typically get ~8L/100km in my NB SE (98 octane) with mixed driving, not particularly hard but still plenty of time 'on boost'. :wink:

Before adding cam, intake ect I was around 9/100. After that it dropped to 8/100. Now with turbo poorly tuned (still runs rich in a fair few cells) and idles poorly I got 12/100 with 100km of flat out through the mountains and 4+ hours crawling in traffic. Pretty happy with that actually. Going to the Goldie today so I'll get a better idea.

Fuel Economy for me NA6 tank best since the engine has been done is about 320km and that was being very gentle. However I care not for its fuel economy as it was not built with that as a consideration.

I don't measure my fuel economy in L per 100Km or MPG...I measure in weeks......currently 4 weeks since last filled :cry: I'm sure this is telling me something??? :oops:
