[AC]

:yeees:

[HLC]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH thats like my mum's car hahahah

[Casper]

That poor car. Did it actually rev over 2500rpm at any time?
Take it out and give it a fang, theres probably spiders webs built up in the exhaust!

[RG]

I wish my missus drove mine like that :

[AC]

LOL, Since i got in it, back up to 10.9


*runs from the greenies* :

[PepeLePew]

My place its the other way round, she knows if she wants to artificially lower the consumption figure on her Terri she throws me the keys

I agree! I would hate to know what my consumption is, considering the only time my car see's UNDER 2500rpm is sitting at the lights!! :P

*Waits for the auto to go BANG!*

[Bucknaked]

Bring her to the AFF day. It'll be up around 50 before you know it

[ClassicAU]

P.S. Check this out for a consumption figure!!

Talk about trying to get the most out of a tank of fuel GEEZ! I think the lowest mine has ever showed on DTE was 50 or so, although I have seen it at 80 with 3/4 of a tank left. :evil3:

[Casper]

Bah, I've driven over 5km's with DTE on 0. It doesn't go into negatives either.

Oh, and yes, I was shitting bricks.

[ClassicAU]

Oh, trust me, i was packing darkies even with that figure! That photo was taken just after i pulled into my local servo after a trip back from Torquay! The whole trip on the freeway i felt like Jeremy Clarkson when he got that diesel V8 twin turbo Audi back to London!

speaking of DTE how far can you push it till you break down? i've had mine around 10km before

[The Monty]

I have heard it can start stalling, even when there is up to 20 on the clock. In saying that though I've had 3 in my mums forte and 14 in mine.

[98fairmont]

I've had mine down into the teens several times with no dramas.

[S3SR]

only drama would be the fuel filter getting clogged from the crap of the bottom of the tank??? right?

[DJM83]

My DTE is never below 80

Not on mine, I run it right down to empty every time, so the tank doesnt get a chance to build up crap.

I justify it by saying less fuel means less wight means more kms per tank, but realy its pure stinngyness

Ive gone 5 kms with the DTE on zero too, and regularly take it down to 5 or less.

Only once has the car stalled from low fuel and it was so long ago I cant remember if it was while going uphill or downhill., I just remember it stalled and it was time to go to the servo.

[Dark Horse]

I got mine down to the last 250 mL in the tank once. It's not something I'm proud of actually.

[Umineko]

Never let mine get below 80... that damned alarm S#*TS me up the wall

Bah, I've driven for 72kms with the DTE on 0. Guage was in the red but wasn't on empty so I never worried about it.

Damn! How is that even possible? You sure there isn't something wrong with your fuel gauge? :P

The guage is the accurate part, the DTE is only a calculation based on the guage sender resistance along with previous and current driving style/conditions. I only use my DTE as a rough comparative fuel consumption guide, not how far I will get to a tank, I don't trust it.

I've had mine run out at 50 before!

[V3RSAC3]
