Miles Per Gallon ??

[si.g]

Hi guys,

Probably a question that has been ask loads of times, but here goes.

I am think of getting an 86, however I will need to use it to commute to work everyday.

What kind of MPG can I expect to get on motorway runs with a standard engine??

Thanx

No Idea what the mpg is but mine does about 13 km per liter or roughly 8.5 liter per 100 km for normal to spirited driving.

It did the ring with about 9km per liter.

So I'd say its relative fuel efficient

about 25 - 30 mpg unless you have some motorway stuff. I have also found that the twistier the road the worse the fule consumption for some reason.

Jon,

Stop going sideways through those corners and you'll find that the milleage is just the same

Cheers guys,

Do you think fuel consumption will get better or worse on the motorway??

The car that I am looking at has a lower ratio final drive aswell - rev tastic :wink:

should be better on the motorway, maybe 35 mpg, lower gearing won't help, might need to go slower !

by the way people,

Si.G is my brother - I cannot give him any useful mpg figures because I only get about 220kms off of a full tank LOL. Combination of heavy right foot and ITBS I think.

A brothers in hachi or something

Thats not very good fuel economy Ian, but is that mostly taken during drift events and trackdays or have you also tried some long distance driving?

During track events and such you tend to ask alot of an engine and that costs fuel. Engine is only fuel efficient running a constant speed, excelerating is the fuel eater
