Fuel and oil consumption
-
Here's a question to all of you who have a V6 engine.
How much does your car eats fuel?That's the biggest problem I have with my car.
Random driving = 15 liters / 100km (4.49 gallons to 62 miles)
Furious driving = 18 liters / 100km (4.75 gallons to 62 miles)
Competition time = 22+ liters / 100km (5.8 gallons to 62 miles)Oh… One problem to add: My engine is using a lot of oil :(, but there's no blue smoke and no slop under the car when parking. Every time I change the gear near 8.5k rpm I smell a rotten smell of an egg - that should be the catalyst converter. May it be that all the missing oil burns there and that's what makes all the smell? The smell has been more noticeable after I changed my HKS cone to the original air filter.
You could add here your fuel and oil consumption... even R4 engine owners :) Or V8 or V12... what ever :)

**To convert that for everyone, that's:
Normal: 18.8mpg
Spirited: 15.7mpg
Track: 12.8mpg(there's 4.546 litres in an Imperial gallon; I think you used US gallons, which are 3.785411784 litres/gallon).
For reference, my V6 does
Normal: 34.0mpg
Spirited: 26.0mpg
Track: 22.0mpgAnd uses absolutely no oil at all.**

Oh yeah, sorry.
I can't understand your measuring methods at all :P

@26ce005bb0=architect:
Oh yeah, sorry.
I can't understand your measuring methods at all :P**Blame the Americans for having their own gallon.
Essentially, you're using twice as much fuel as I am, for the same kind of driving. Not exactly twice as much, but pretty ballpark.**

Here's mine..
Wes is fitted with aftermarket filter and exhaust…Normal: 32.0mpg
Spirited: 26.0mpg
Don't track Wes...And he uses absolutely no oil or water...

My old mx never used oil but my newer mx with half the miles goes through a couple of liters a year, I wonder if more of the oil is being turned to vapour and being burnt through the breathers into the inlet manifold because I have no leaks on it, its either that or the rings on later models were slightly cheaper metals that wear a little quicker

If you have KLZE in your car then thats not horrendous fuel consumption, I think I get around 60-70 miles(ish) to a full tank on a track…......

It's not officially KLZE (wish it was), just alil helped ;)
