If I drive like a Grandma I get over 600kms on my tank to and from work...

Can someone explain why I only get 520-550kms lately?

umm it's the hot weather... yer, that's is... :lol:

I can only manage between 350-400k's out of a tank...mind you I think I have a problem with my right foot... :lol:

I get an average of 19.5L per 100kms ! I just cannot help winding up that turbo at every set of lights.

:lol:

Yip I am the same as you. I have a problem with my right foot. Just thought I would drive a bit more conservative the other day and was pleased with the result. Didnt drive like a nana but didnt boot it at every oppurtunity like I normally do.

CUt a gaping big hole in the front of your airbox and stick an XR8 norkle in there, you'll see the numbers drop to 11s or 12s. If you shift before 2000rpm and use the 4.0 torque you'll use even less, but take ages to get to where your going LOL! :lol:

Jeez, Id be happy with that. I normally get around 260km per tank of Mobil 8000. All city driving. And hard.

Although lately I reckon Its closer to 230. Pretty big drop off a week or two ago. Coming due for its 30k service so maybe that will improve things a little.

Thankfully I dont pay any extra if I use lots of fuel!

One thing I have noticed since new is the excellent highway economy if you want it to. I often see 8l/100km when driving sedately. (Which isnt exactly very often...)

hey all you Xr6T'sand typhoons how Far can you travel on a full tank ? and how much do you top up ?

[CJF077]

around $60 the other day... its still saying 22L/100kms.

Hope it goes down!

I'm not too sure, but I'd say about 400-450km on a tank depending on how hard I drive the car. But a lot of people on here have said they can travel quite a distance with the Distance To Empty reading 0, so I'd probably be able to do more before I actually ran out of petrol.
