    Hi all...

    Im considering getting a sprinter with a 4ac in it...
    Just wondering what sort of fuel consumption 4AC drivers are getting ?
    I was hoping it would do better than my current car (2005 Astra) which gives 450kms to a 50l tank.

    Also does anyone run 91 RON regular unleaded in their 4ac and how does it go?

    cheers

    I was surprised with the 4AC economy - not to shabby, a welcome relief with fuel hitting $1.37/litre at times.
    Getting about 12km/ltr or 8.3 Litres per 100km

    While on the topic of fuel. I swear that my 4AC is pinging under heavy acceleration.
    All my other cars have been Turbos and I know what pinging sounds like but why would a NA engine be pinging?
