luvemfast Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 In short, 10.88 kilometres per litre or 9.2 litres per 100 kilometres. Thats pretty good economy. Last time I went to Winton, I got about 40L per 100km (no joke) Quote
Scoota G Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 Was that a Manual or Auto girlie type gearbox Quote
dalee Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 you got 112MPG?.........sure you did I don't know where you leart to do maths Salty, but the standard conversion for the rest of us is 112MPG = 2.1L/100km and 40L/100km = 5.9MPG - using the US gallon 3.785L. NB- you would get a different result using the English gallon of 4.546L Quote
benny Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 dont mess with dale.... he's our resident number cruncher!! Quote
Whittie Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I'm running a pretty mild cam, 2800cc L28, but 45mm Webers with a 4.4 diff. Usual course of events with the diff is requirement to rev to 4000+ between gear changes just to make the car actually move above a snails pace on the road. 18L/100km On the race track it's 80L/100km Quote
e9 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I forgot to mention that I was carrying a bike, clothes, a couple bags, a few smaller boxes and one larger box labelled, "LJR 260Z Parts". Thats pretty good economy. Last time I went to Winton, I got about 40L per 100km (no joke) Running a little rich there haha. I was really surprised when I crunched the numbers. I guess driving through relatively flat country right after having a tune-up does help though. Was that a Manual or Auto girlie type gearbox Pssh, auto...definitely a MANual (for manly men ) http://www.tdiclub.com/misc/conversions.html thats the link, I put in 40 on the top right, KM/Litre and got 112.MPG. thats imperial, 94 US MPG I think Thanks for the link, 9.2L/100KM works out to be 25.98MPG (Imp) or 21.63MPG (US) I'm running a pretty mild cam, 2800cc L28, but 45mm Webers with a 4.4 diff. Usual course of events with the diff is requirement to rev to 4000+ between gear changes just to make the car actually move above a snails pace on the road. 18L/100km On the race track it's 80L/100km I tried to convert your track economy using the TDI Club link: "L/100KM field has invalid data: 80 not in range" Quote
luvemfast Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Running a little rich there haha. I did mention that I was at Winton didn't I? Trackday! Quote
e9 Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I did mention that I was at Winton didn't I? Trackday! Ahh that makes more sense, I thought you meant you got 40L/100K driving to Winton. Quote
