XR6na

I am looking at buying a manual BA XR8 ute, can anyone please enlighen me on the expected fuel economy both around town and on the highway?
I am currently driving a automatic BA XR6 Sedan and am keen to compare the economy.

Every vehicle will be different on fuel, and depend's alot on how you drive as not everyone drive's the same but expect around 14-16 in town and 10-12 hwy but if you are in real heavy traffic that fiqure may be a little conservative.

They can go as high as near 20 in crap traffic.. but I also get ~11 on the open road which isn't bad for the power and comfort.

I do a mixture of city and freeway, usually hovers around 15-15lt/100km, get around 450km to a tank, but have got over 700km twice before

But sink the boot in and use a tank in 300 or less

I usually get around 19-20L/100km average.
Thats all city driving in sydney, get around 380-400 to the tank.
Havnt taken it on the freeway for a long drive yet...

Around 19-20L/100km average (city driving) as well based on the static trip read out, but while I'm driving the 'dynamic' read out shows figures ranging between 8 & 12.

The cars only done around 6000km and get around 380-400 to the tank. I am expecting things to improve more as more km's are done.

I have experienced some very high figures when using my ute as a delivery vehicle. Lugging a few extra 100kgs and the ute drinks heavily to be happy.

I find it impossible to get any decent fuel economy around town even with normal driving... stop start traffic is not a good environment for me.

I can however get between 10-13 (at last) on the freeway.

I coincidentally checked my BA XR8 auto sedan this morning after a few weeks since last reset. Avge 43km/hr at 15.7l/100km. Mostly home to city and return in light traffic, mostly 70-60 km/hr signposted.

My BA XR8 Ute runs without a load in the back almost all the time and it's not modified in any way.. it's also an auto.. to give you some idea of what to expect I get 15.4 around town and my best on the highway was 11.5.

It will be interesting to see what the xr8 does with the new 6 speed
