Fuel Consumption

What are you guys getting for your fuel consumption?

I'm getting about 380km per tank, which sounds bad, but then I looked it up and the car has a 40L tank.

Hence,
380km/3.8 = 40L/3.8
= 10.5L/100km.

Which is actually still bad, its a 1.6L Corolla. This sounds like something a Commodore would do. Aren't they meant to be super fuel efficient or something? LOL.

So, what are you guys out there getting in real world, compared to the advertised fuel rating?

i get about 450km out of a 35 litre tank, depending on what kind of driving i'm doing or whatever

i get around 600-650km out of my tank which is like... 65L or something?

Car 2 2.0L Turbo: 55L tank running 98, approx 330-430km depending on driving style

katietheskatie · 21 Sep 2009, 6:02 PM

Riet · 21 Sep 2009, 6:20 PM

katietheskatie · 21 Sep 2009, 6:23 PM

Riet · 21 Sep 2009, 6:28 PM

My Pajero goes like 550-650km on 90L of fuel >.<

Works out around 15L/100km

High price to pay for lots of room in the car...

PM'd. Thankfully it's not a daily driver

Best ever fuel economy in the turbo was 9.2L/100km with close to no throttle and smooth traffic flow along Victoria Rd. More likely than not I will be between 12L/100km and 16L/100km. If I have been feeling enthusiastic it can go upto 30L/100km.

On another note, I took this photo a couple weeks back.
