SE Fuel Consumption

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

Yeah thats what i am thinking......

i am putting off a service for another 1000-2000km so ill get it all checked over then, but i cant think what it might be?

it seems to drive fine.

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.
