Hey,
Does any one get decent fuel economy in there zuk???
I have a 88 1.3l WT soft top with 31's and im doing well if i get 190km's from a chocablock full to the tip top tank

Cheer
(ZUKPWR)

[Cozook]

I can get about 450 if I stay calm,(change at 3500ish rpm)
370 is the worst i get........I run premium always and 225/75/15 tyres
89 1.3 WT with fibreglass top. How many litres you put in to get chocka block?
Gauges not always accurate thats why I ask.

[ZookiDave]

around 29lt from memory, cost around $45 to fill from E on the guage

[Cozook]

10 litres left in the tank maybe.....
mines 40lt tank $56 premium last fill and it wasn't empty.....
Pretty sure your tanks the same mate...Good luck

[ZookiDave]

My tank has had a few litres knocked out of it by our good friends rocks and logs.

[Scrawny]

Mine too

I usually get around 300-330 outta mine. Do you have lower transfer gears for those tyres? Or are you running standard?

You'll be getting less after last Sunday

[ZookiDave]

nah no gears, but with standard tread it only gives me around 30km's more i think

[mcwilly]

i cant remember exactly but i think mine was in the 300s. ill let u know when she's on the road again when i have my 31's on

[Cozook]

Ahhhhhh,sticks and stones will break ya bones you know!!

[Taff]

are you adding on the extra km from the tyres? Your odo will be around 20% out with 31s and stock gears.

[Mike]

i get probably 300ks out of a full tank in my drover with 31s 6.5 transfer gears and an electric fuel pump and thats highway driving

[Zook_Fan]

remember transfer gears dont count!!!!

Transfer gears won't correct the speedo but they help fuel economy by returning gearing to somewhere near standard.

[Cade]

just hit 100km into a tank thought why not fill up that will tell me my economy per 100km

cost 16 bucks of premium to fill and that was 10L

so one would say im sitting on 10L/100km

is this normal would equate to abot 300-350 a tank

[Cozook]

Its about what i get too cade...little better if I try...
Little worse if I'm in race mode... (Which is bloody pointless)

[Cade]

yeah was in grandma mode my last one was a lil better

[y0di]

normally get 10/100 around town, have got 8.6/100 on highway @ 100kph. always using premium shell fuel. best range was full to dead empty, car stopping on side of road, 489 k's, 42 litre tank. 1.3 auto jimny soft-top.

[laurie]

[Cade]

hey big is the suzuki tank how many litres

question is got a new carby car running fine but either my guage is out or its drinking the juice now

i just closked over 140kms and i have used 2/3 of a tank ARGH and thats driving easy its either that or somone is stealing my petrol

it costs me about 42 bucks to fill up about 30l

[BlueSuzy]

In theory, 40L tank.

In practical. 35L Im guessing.

In offroad cars. 25L Normally Dented up

Serious offroaders 25L to 5L

[morpheus]

around town i get about 460 out of a tank. on the highway i get about 120 less. because im pushing it to even get to 90. thats in a 89 1.3l sierra soft top runnin standard rubber.

[lilzook]

i got just 300kms out of mine (taking into account 10%for my tyres) from a full tank. but mines probably got 5litres worth of dints in it.haha

[ZukChiK]

Thought I'd add to this thread as I just refueled the 1L ute y'day...

36 Litres got me 230km's [EDIT, said 290] That's worse than my 1.3!

I have been giving it a thrashing though. 110 is not a problem in this thing

Coincidentally, today I discovered the main tank is weeping fuel... not a lot, but enough to worry since fuel it is exposed on the exhaust side.

Now to search for leaky tank fixes

[scottysj80]

i get 9l to 10l/100ks out of the standed 1.3, it dosent seem to change whether i flog it or not.
the most iv got out of a tank is 350ks and i put 34l in that was freeway ks mostly, thats on 235/75r15 tyers to.

cheers scott

Soap!!

You could also try that knead-it stuff, I think they do some kind of fuel tank sealant? Or just pull it and weld it

I notice that throughout suzi vehicles they seem to always give the same figures pressed or not. I think Honda MPFI does a better job when you drive for economy.
