How many km's per tank ??

[1TUFMB]

Hey guys seen as the albury gathering is this weekend I had be trying to gauge how much fuel I'm likely to need for the trip so far I'm averaging 243 km's to a tank pumping in 26L roughly each time is this a good fuel economy or upto crap ??
Just paranoid I guess don't wanna run out of fuel halfway down the Hume highway lol

Take a jerry can. Mine did 60km's and used about a quater of a tank. I love having a trip meter

I've never pushed the point, but I reckon I'd get well over 400k's out of a tank on a cruise.

I was planning on taking my ten litre reserve just in case but I was more after if that's a good or bad number of km's to be getting but from what you said it sounds about average

[Brayden]

I get about 350kms out of a tank in the Snot Rocket, and about the same from Special Ed - but one has a turbo and the other has a slushbox.

[Billie]

Ohh mine was running pretty rough at the time.

[1TUFMB]

Are those figures highway cruising or day to day driving round town ?? Cause I average 234 km's in the usual day to day stop and start traffic

[Billie]

Just stop start traffic for mine. On the highway it uses shit all.

pumping in 26L roughly each time

Thats living on the edge a bit isn't it? I only ever get 20-22L each fill, not sure what the K's are, something over 250.

[Brayden]

My figures are daily use for Special Ed to & from work in traffic, and driving the Snot Rocket hard on weekends.

[Billie]

Mine could be abit high, i forget to put the choke in.

my fuel gauge ain't working properly at present so when it's starts to sorta chug it's likehmm not good find a fuel station fast I have only had to pump 26 or close to it like twice, hence why I'm trying to het a gauge on how much fuel the mb is likely to use in case I can't get the fuel gauge working
thanks for the replies though

my auto f8b is still getting 350k's to a tank, even with alot of work done.

stock it was getting just under 400, thats for 20L aswell.

I seem to get between 300 - 400 to a fill up of 25ltrs, but my carby could use a bit of tune work still. I'll be carrying a jerry can with me, as i'm not sure how many kms albury is from my place.

how many kms albury is from my place

Google maps = 342ks and we'll be stopping in roadhouses along the way, but a jerry can full of fuel is nice insurance anyway!

Cheers
