How Many Km's Can You Get Out Of A 4k??

[JiP]

:) -Hey, I'm testing my 4K for a mate that wants to know how many km's you can get out of a full tank.

 

So I only just got my fuel guage working perminatly like a couple weeks ago.

 

What i'm really wanting to know is how far down does the needle drop till its empty and how many Km's is good for a 4K??

 

So far my reconn'd 4K has gone 425.5Km's and is currently roughly 2mm above the E mark. Thats with a K40 behind it while doing alot of stop/start city driving and a third highway driving and abit over.

 

Also does it make a differance if you use regular or preimium?? Cause i used 98 octaine unleaded at $1.50p/ltr.

 

thanks,

Jon.

Just over a tank and a half has got me near 900kays, (onl;y had car since thursday lol)

 

Thats highway and town, with a 3k..

Last tank I did 8.7L/100 K, tank before was 9L/100K tank before that was 10L/100K.

And I didn't think I changed my driving style too much, so I dunno. Only thing is haven't really been strapping it out cause the clutch is a bit fubar so thats probably it. More relaxed driving due to clutch. :)

 

edit: KE70 with stock un reco 4K 170 thou on motor and K40 behind it.

I get somewhere around 400-450kms till the fuel light comes on, Could probably drive for longer but I've never tried to find out for how much longer..

[JiP]

:) -hmmm, Fuel light. that would be a great thing to have. :(

Caution: Autos DRINK the fuel, especially on the highway. Was 370km from 35 litres today. Manual gearbox going in on the weekend (thank the lord!)

second that lol

[ronald_loulan]

I reccon my 4k and get bout 10L/100km.....

I travelled 100 to 115 Km on 12.5 L of unleaded. Seems a little bit too much. Hobart driving.

I was pretty easy on the accelerator, hardly ever went up to 4000 rpm, and rolled down hills in neutral when ever I could.

 

The lowest I've had the fuel gauge was when the needle was just on the tip of the E

Working fuel gauge would be a great thing to have. Filled her up today with 98, going to let it run for 200-300km then fill up fully, see how much it takes and then just base a mental fuel gauge off that, until the current one gets fixed

[JiP]

;) Heres an Update.

 

My fuel was at the "E" line and i had to travel to my sisters. So i went to fuel up. Since my car has a 50Ltr tank, i found out how much is left at the "E" mark. Its 10Ltrs cause i could only put in 40Ltrs. So every quarter is 10Ltrs. There's an interesting fact.

 

So the end result is 450ish. (I forgot to look when i filled up) It could have gone further cause of the extra 10Ltrs.

[love ke70]

yeah, 10 litres after light comes on

light comes on at the e mark

ive got jus over 100 km with fuel light on before running out haha

in the ke70 4k k50 I'm stuffed gettin better than 10l/100km ;)

[chrisandliz[RL]]

i get about 370KM from 37L after my rebuild, but before i was getting a about 430KM for 37L

[lappy]

would having a 5-speed get better fuel economy?

[JiP]

;) -I'd say so. Doing 100 in 4th would have to chew fuel.

 

I figured it out. It was 8.8Ltrs per 100kms
