Hey, was looking into an FTO in the near future. Really love the looks and preformance. Was just wandering what kinda fuel they use, and what L/100Km I should expect. Fuel is kinda expensive for uni stundents with no job as such :P .
Cheers.

Hi mate, most folks get at least around 500kms~ a tank, some signifigantly more.

Then there's us turbo guys that can run out of fuel in our own driveways :lol:

You forgot about the car / missus needed you urgently / turbo timer set to 60mins, not seconds ?

The last time I did a check I got about 9.3L to the 100K's ( may even be less ) running Caltex 98.
But that was about 6-8 months ago so I can't be 100% sure.
I will have to do another check on it.

Back on topic, 42L Caltex 98 for 500km, with 70% freeway travel, on average, from memory.

car: 95 gpx auto.

8 - 10l of top grade consumer fuel then, per 100km, depending on driving styles. :) I take it easy, usually.

i'll take last weekend as an example,

filled up with vortex 98 (completely chockers)

drove 200km in one day, had a cruise with mitsubishi club, about 130km were giving it to the car fairly hard.

managed to get 500km with 12L left.

edit: driving 95 gpx manual, mods on my for sale thread.

Nice bro. Once you test drive it, you can't turn back.... right?
