Hey guys, what's up? don't know why, but my brain isn't working today. I just wanted to know if my gas consumtion is okay or pretty bad. I put in about 55-60 Liters of gas per week and get about 530 on a tank. Is this pretty descent? what is it in MPG again?
thanks

AHH yes..gotta love the brain farts!!! thanks for the link..so by my calculations..i should be getting 20.5 MPG..is that good for a N/a wagon??? what are you guys getting on your cars?
thanks

I get 21 on my 850 GLT on an average, but I do 90% city driving. I have heard a few go upto 25 on their cars with more Highway driving...

 

So far I've only put in two full tanks and have had a 20.7 and a 21.2 mpg return. Unsure if thats good or not but I've yet to do a full tune up. I've only so far put on new tires and a new air filter. I'm hoping that when I put new plugs and wires on I'll get maybe 1 more mpg outa the car. I owned a Mazda Rx-8 before this and got similar mpg returns (though that was if I babied the car and no spirited drives hehe).

 

hey guys, okay i'm a little confused...i went to the link that was posted and punched in the "km/L" that i would get...then under the MPG i got:
24.8 (imp.) and 20.7 (for the u.s.)..so which one would you go by..the u.s. one? I kinda like the imp. one better! hahaha but 24.8 does sound like it. plotted in the milage i was getting with my previous car (the caprice) and got 18.64(imp.) and was rated at 20mpg in it's specs...

so far for the winter, im getting 18-20 mpg, but over the summer i was getting about 28 mpg,

 

That's some mileage u are getting in the summer!! I must be doing something wrong,lol..

 

Hey Somthng...that's pretty good milage you're getting...i figured that a turbo model would maybe consume more than a N/A? strange...have you done any mods/maintenance?
i like the volvo in your profile pic btw..I noticed the motorcycle too...nice! maybe one day i'll move up to a motorcycle...

I bought my 850 in September. Since then I had to do essentially a ton of maintenance. Timing belt, tensioner, water pump, radiator,temp.sensor, plugs, wires, cap and rotor, air filter, brakes all the way around and I put on new tires 7 days ago. I need to get the PCV job sometime soon and then oil change.... I bought it used from a wholesaler whom couldn't move the car off his lot, so I have no Idea what the previous service history was. So needless to say I am getting decent mileage. I do have a few mods up my sleeve, but I need to slowly work on them. I don't want to break the bank all at once! Yea, I love my BUELL... I have only seen one on the road here In orlando and I think in the past 5 days I have seen 3 others at BIKEWEEK. The weather here is nice so it makes it perfect for a bike. I def. recomend 2 wheels!

 

Yea, the Volvo on my Avatar I saw at the SEMA show 3 years ago in Vegas at the Volvo/ FORD Motor co. booth! It was simply incredible in real life. I have been in love with it ever since. I might dig up some pics. I took and post them on a tread later.

 

Hey...ya that car is soo nice! i love the "lowered" look of it and the tires..maybe one day...haha we don't see that may buell bike around here...seem more like "low key" bikes...see more harleys and rice burners..and i'm in the lower-middle..hahah i have a vintage vespa scooter...(posted some pics of it in the peoples-cars section)..fun bike to scoot around and it does turn heads..mosty due to its' sound.

lol, oops, typo :P

 

Yes, Buells look very low key, until you trun the throttle! Mine is a 1253cc with an air rebreather mod! The thing moves quick, but handles like a dream. My rear tire essentially is worn to the edge of the tread because I can lean it that far on a turn and keep its footing. It also helps that I have MichellinX on it. Very sticky tire. I will dig up pics of the Volvo and post from the show!
