Thanks mate

Hey Sephanite, that's sweet that you got the tune and also dyno numbers.

Speaking of fuel consumption, my 328 is struggling to average below 10L/100km. It might have something to do with the area I'm in, which means the car rarely does freeway, spending most of its time in start/stop traffic, average speed is around 30-35km/hr.

The car's done 1700+km and I'm getting a consistent average of 12L/100km! Maybe it's also the way I drive it cos the times I back off the throttle and coddle the engine, the average improves to around 9L/100km but that takes a lot discipline and it makes a mockery of the car's capabilities.

Just like mine. Same same.

I just completed an urban with an average fuel consumption of 8.6l/100km. What is your average speed listed on the on board computer? I have mine on 22km/hr atm so if yours is less you would be in more traffic congestion than me. The tune gives more low end kw so helps move the car with the same fuel consumption so if you don't change your pace, it should drink less

Going OT - I use mine as a DD under similar conditions and manage 8.1L/100km with an average speed in the low 40's from what I recall. Guess it's down to your right foot.

My average is generally in the low 30s km/hr and unless I drive very carefully, the average consumption hovers around 12L/100km consistently which is the same as what David is getting. I don't get how you're averaging 22km/hr, I thought you live in much less urban areas. Still, 8.6L is impressive.

8.1L/100km is very good, in fact that matches the manufacturer's urban claim figure. I guess averaging 10km/hr faster makes a HUGE difference to the efficiency. It means you're covering 70-100km/hr roads for a much greater portion than I. In my area, the maximum speed limit is usually 60 and that usually pitted with red light intersections every block.

I ran the car on 1 tank for urban purely during peak time and day work time along princes hwy that is during lunchtimes and 3pm-5pm. So the car is always in start stop traffic. After the tune was installed, i averaged 8.9 for the first half of the tank that i assume is due to the surge of the foot playing with the extra power from the tune.

Try getting to speed at a good pace rather than turtling. At low gears, i force the car to shift at 2.5k rpm and at 5th gear up, i try to shift at 1.5k. My foot is still about halfway down the throttle but the fuel consumption becomes lower. A bit annoying but works when i am trying to get more km's

Just finished a majority hwy run with the tune 5.6l/100km

What was it before the tune?
I did a stock car run from Melb to Echuca & back for a 7l/100km in Jan.

[Sephanite]

It was not that far off before. 6.2l/100km
