how much fuel does your fto use?

Post by Battousai »

hey everyone,

i'm currently saving for an fto and was told a couple of months ago that a gpx manual usually uses about 8ltrs to 100ks. however my best mate just told me he saw on a forum that someone recons their fto uses about 11.5ltrs to 100ks.

could everyone tell me how much fuel their fto uses?

sometimes i get 8litre per 100km, or 12litre per 100km, really depends on driving style and how many times u stop and go etc...

I agree, the front passenger seat is actually very comfy to sit in. (Well the stock seat anymore, I'm can't do it in my new ones).


The backs are a joke :P

im 6'2, its not the leg room... just the flanges on the seat that keep u in while cornering... wake up at 4am with 1 of them in your side n u know about it...

and yes i know the cars read these.... but the damn thing gave me so much trouble 2day, a 5 min job turned into a 3 hour job... u know how it is.... i pretty much rewired the whole stereo, oiul gauge etc all to find out my earth wire had slipped off its place... damn aerial kept going up and down all the time.... it was very very frustrating..... oh sh*t hang on.....

OH FARK! i just realised i didnt pop the aerial wire back into the stereo!!!! grrrrrrrrrrr
