Question specific for the SE owners outhere.
How many k's do you get to a tank?
I have only been getting 320-350...
so i am trying to drive very sedately, and i dont think its going to be much better?

L/100km's would be a more useful guage.
Anyway I get between 8 to 9.5L/100km when using the car on the road.
Now since the tank is 48L and the fuel light comes on at about 8L left, its about 400-500km's per uesful tank/40L.
Whats mods does yours have though, because that will make a big difference to consumption.

I'm lucky to get under 10L/100km in my naturally aspirated NB8B (has full SP motorsport exhaust, but the fuel consumption didn't change when I installed it)
I blame a heavy right foot and bad Sydney traffic

In my standard SE i get around 450km for 35L. Usually 98RON, though 95RON doesn't seem to make any difference. Clearly I'm driving too slowly!

7.5 - 8.5l per 100kms on the road. 28.0 - 32.5l on the track.

just filled up...
371km and 39.87ltrs
thats going to be a pretty average tank for me.
so thats 10.74l/100
not so good, but there are ALOT of traffic lights in that tank.

I thought my 1.6 was thirsty! (Now, it was less thirsty when it was stock)
Spitting fuel out of the exhaust Dann?
