shelly_star Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hi newbie, iam sure some of the GT owners here will be able to help you. I think the running cost of a GT won't be as much as the pulsar.Enjoy your stay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilal Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 put a new thread up about running costs if ya cant find 1 mate Theres loadsa fellas here that can help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 my mates selling his 300bhp pulsar at the moment,and as for running costs compared to my gt, mines like diesel efficiency!! usually get 200 miles to a tank i should think, starlet fuel tank is alot smaller than a gti-r's though.

300angrydonkeys Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 the pulsar gets 180 miles to 45 quids worth of fuel and i just cant support that anymore lol thats if you go easy on it. boot it and it drops to about 100 lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 i seem to remember a few owners on here saying that they can get 31-5 mpg outa the gt driving with a heavy foot.so should be miles better than the gtir in that respect. ive heard that thats the gtir's downfall though isnt it? the fuel consuption?Rich.

300angrydonkeys Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 yeah it is, and if you get a bad one its a bottomless pit of money lol, but thats the case with any car i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryno Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 depends how you drive mainly! but yeah my bro's got a 350bhp GTi-R and my fuel costs are significantly lower then his, also i think GT's look better! best thing is the GT's come std with a Hi/Lo boost switch so you can save a few pennys there and switch to hi boost when you need it! if you like that kinda thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
