Hey guys,

im considering a Hyper Sports as my next daily driver ...

just wondering what a manual one chews through? Im thinking similar to EVO 3 plus a little more seeing as they would weigh a little more ?

what sort of range do you get to a tank and how big is the tank ?

thanks in advance

I did 410km and top up the tank with 48l. The tank is 55l. Bare in mind that mine is Hyper Sports Gear Auto with my custom chip.

I managed 375km, SSG auto.

meanwhile, next to everything on my car is factory, so I think I need new o2 sensors, would definitely give me that bit extra.

Great memories on the road, and off.

Don't forget that my car is running 1.5bar boost and it's regularly boosted on my way to/from work :)

My fuel consumption varies abit, probably my driving lol, Manual HSGR I do about 350-380 to the tank on premium 98 in the suburbs. on the highway its a bit nicer i'd estimate about 550kms to the tank or about 10L/100km.

I manages 550kms on a 60L tank sometimes a bit less or more.
That's on a combine highway and traffic lights.

Best I ever gotten was 10L/100kms

I get 300 in town (60 top speed) if I shift into 4th, or if I let it sit in 3rd I get around 350-360. I just put 100 octane/10 percent ethanol into it... seems like I'm getting slightly better economy.

If you ever look underneath one, the stock exhaust is ultra restrictive. I'd imagine with a 3" it would be notable better.

As low as 275 around town, 350 and a bit on the road. Stock HSGR auto. Blows smoke so may have issues.

Still love the RVR but am paranoid about little noises

Far out - some interesting figures here! Mine still does over 400km for a tank around town with reasonably extensive mods including a walbro and big injectors....... It definitely likes the highway though.

Driving style make a huge difference when driving a 4WD system with a poor aerodynamic design.

I'll get between 320-380km out of a full tank on average, maybe 400 if i'm lucky. That's around town. Highway, easily 500km. Exhaust and pod (for now ;))

Now that I can get 98 octane the fuel economy has improved and it doesn't ping. (It really liked the Liberty 100 octane with 10% ethyl when I was in Adelaide) I'm just working through a tank of 98 to see what happens.

GSR? You know we're talking about RVR's here right?


Also, how you can "estimate" how much it is using is totally beyond me! :rolleyes:
