Fuel consumption experiment
Posted: 11 Aug 2011 14:13
What a big Patrol Topic.
Just finished an experiment with my 4.8GRX 2004 model with no mods.
1) Drove 109Liters of Fuel out
a) Never once took revs over 2000rpms, and did not "flood" engine but applied accelerator very gently and evenly.
b) Total mileage achieved 511km
c) 4.68L/km
d) 21.33L/100km
e) All mileage was to work and back.
2) Drove 111Liters of Fuel out
a) Never once took revs over 3500rpms, and did not "flood" engine but applied accelerator very gently and evenly.
b) Total mileage achieved 526km
c) 4.74L/km
d) 21.10L/100km
e) All mileage was to work and back.
Had a major service at NISSAN Parow in between the two samples. Changed a coil and two sparks.
Conclusion:
a) not much affects this baby's consumption & one disheartened owner.
b) dont belive that stat in the SA4x4 of some dude achieving 18.2l/100km with his 4.8GRX
P.S. Death wobble has just disappeared for the last 5000km's. 152000kms on odo. in love with my trollie.
