How many kilometers does your 6 cyl car go on a full tank?

You might like to post what kind of driving you do and what model car you have.

ned

Mine's an EB2 Fairmont, I drive it sensibly around town and stuff, but if I'm late for uni or work, all hell breaks loose. :D

On the weekend I drove 380km on nearly a full tank of premium. I drove to heathcote, did 12 or so runs including a 13.67 hehe and drove home on one tank with about 10 litres left in in there.

I was shocked last time I went through a full tank of LPG and nearly a full tank of petrol as well.

Record for around town driving was 800 k's whilst ECU was in relearn mode, at the speed of Dark (one off thing). The Darkmobile settled back down to 600 k's between drinks not long afterwards. On the freeway I can quite easily achieve 900+ k's before filling up again.

Haha I voted >750km, but then I can refill 110L if I run it low.

Generally 480-500 around town.

I once drove from Melbourne to Adelaide on one tank, cruise ctrl the whole way. Put 70 litres into my 68 litre tank at the other end ('swat the pump said).

Not knowing if it will let me vote 3 times or not (once for each of the I6s I've owned), I'll put my reply here and vote for the most recent results.

The 3 cars and engines I've worked with are as follows:

'86 FE LTD on ULP, averaging around 620km from an 85l tank with a 250EFI with around 420 thousand on the clock, burned exhaust valve on #3, oversized pistons and oversized EA valves fitted (damned cheap rebuilders)

'86 ZL Fairlane on LPG, averaging around 540km from a 75 usable litre tank with a 250EFI and Gen III LPG, around 350 thousand on the clock and low (ie 120lbs) compression on #6

'89 EA Falcon II S on ULP, averaging around 650km from a 68l tank with CFI and 4-speed, around 200 thousand on the clock and no noticable engine faults (though it is a bit rough under load)


I've just started running the EA off PULP and will update these results accordinly. Later, I'll be putting the Fairlane's LPG system (though I may opt for a Gen IV setup) in to the EA and will post another reply with the subsequent consumption specs.

Cheers,
Jon.

Is that one tank or petrol + lpg? What kind of car?

I get just under 250K's on 55L of LPG
Never drove on petrol for a full tank to work out how many K's I get on it... It's an ED Falcon and it seems everyone else with this type of car get's a lot more K's.
