14 to 15 mostly and down to 10 or even lower on flat country highway running. Put your boot in though and you'll be looking at high teens and 20s - good fun though.

I get 16 odd l/100km for a mix of city/highway driving in Canberra. Probably about the same as the OPs VCT would have got. On the trip back from Ballarat when I picked up the car, I git 500kms for 50 odd litres - I was very impressed.

Depend's on a lot of thing's, like city/hwy, and in particular what type of city driving required, every one will have different reading's just like every vehicle will be different, to many varible's to say.

I get 16-17l/100km in the city which includes driving harder than the average but not being rediculous. This is about 360-380km for a tank.

About 10l/100km in the country. 600km a tank.

Hey Freddy ... have you recently moved? I see your location is Single ton. But it seems more like Double ton.

There's some good info in there re Magnecore and ICE. Also a good tip on leads from a US site (Rock Auto) that we get parts from heaps cheaper than Ford here.

About 15l/100 city/hwy mix. Nearly the same as my BA XR8 .
Thirsty buggers for a little 5 litre.
