I do alot of peak hour driving and get around 500k-55k in my xr6. Last week though had hardly anyone on the roads I used half a tank of petrol and managed to get around 350k, and I got just under 800k when I went up to warnambool for the weekend.

435kms to a tank :S Should be a bit better after a tune, that's with about 200kms of freeway driving and the rest around town.

'94 ED Monty stock standard for the mo; over summer with a/c going round town 13.5l/100km's. Trip from Adelaide -> Coffs harbour & return with a/c on 90% of the time 10.2l/100km.
Only had the Monty a few months after my EA S Pac was stolen and am pretty happy with the economy (& the whole car!). :-)

I've got about 0.0L per 100kms. But that was pushing it on the front lawn
 Get about 750kms of freeway driving before the red light comes on, running ultimate. Haven't checked in awhile thought. |
