    The "What your Car's Fuel Consumption" Thread

    Ok, so I thought I would start a sort of E-Peen competition between us OpelAus Owners. The prize will be bragging rights until someone else beats you! Sure, you could lie, but, would your conscience let you do that?

    How to enter:
    Copy and Paste the below with your details filled in, in reply to this thread.
    Try and beat your previous figures!

    Model: Car Model, Year
    Engine: Engine Type
    Transmission: Auto, Manual or on the road behind you
    Driving Style: thrash it, or baby it
    Driving Type: City, Country, Highway
    Fuel Type: Diesel, 95, E10, 98
    KM's since refill: How far have you gone, since you last full tank
    Litres to fill to first click: how many L's did you fit in?
    Consumption figures((Lx100)/km): Maybe use a calculator

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Knew I forgot something, Transmission, as that does factor in...
    I wish my TS would give me fuel consumption readouts, but I think only the SRi's do that?

    Yeah only an SRi feature in the G as far as i know. Updated original post to show transmission (being auto)

    So technically there will be 4 1st place goers here.... lowest diesel reading (manual and auto), and lowest petrol reading (manual and auto) lol

    Could be more, if we go by Model too. I'm no expert, but Turbo would use a different amount, and newer models "should" use less. BUT, it's more for shits and giggles, I guess we could let the Barina and Corsa guys in on it if we wanted, make it an OPELAUS comp. Are there many diesel Astra's in Aus?

    yeah there are heaps, but not many are on here unfortunately. would still be interesting to see what people are getting, my X18XE1 (2000 Astra City) was getting roughly the same as yours is now, which is good for the age

    I was pleasantly surprised when I did my sums! Thought consumption would have been ALOT higher.

    Considering it came from factory with 7.8L Urban, it's pretty close, although, since I bought it, I've been running it on BP 98 Ultimate, to clean the system out. Will drop it back to 95 in a couple of fills.

    @Elliot_O , @kts350 and @MikeCheck ? should be my rivals in this, as I know they have Non-Turbo TS's.

    If there's a Corsa section, can there be a Vectra section too? :-)
