If gas weren't cheaper now than ever I'd actually be p/o'd about it.

Considering you do 100% city driving that is dam good km you get out of a tank.Quote:

Was that a full tank? How many litres did you use? If it was till your light came on that's pretty sad mileage!...real sad! ...You've got snows on right?Quote:

Wow....100% city here I hit 500-550 all the time.
100% City and I can never get close to 500... I can barely pass 400 as it is... mind you... when my friend drives it, he isn't as lightfooted as I am considering he drives a Neon with bad throttle response at home and he's so used to it he guns it with the 3...Quote:

And i put 40L of gas...and the tank is 52L i think so it was almost empty..
If you're filling up to 40L, it means you had lots more left. I fill up 48-49L.Quote:

Man, the tank is 55L, and if he's filling 40L that leaves ~27% of the gas unused.
Yeah but that's not going to affect his mileage. Check my numbers...I often fill at that too and my mileage is fine (now that's the empirical evidence) what you need to do is just calculate the km's driven to the litres put in the tank (Litres put in tank on fill*100/KM Driven=L/100KM).Quote:

Yeah, I know it won't effect your L/100km figure. But apparently 27% counts as not much. :locoQuote:

The max I've filled up is 44L of gas... I keep thinking its a 45L tank for some reason.Quote:

But I only put in 4L of gas
Learn how to read...go throw my post on what i have wrote down since the start which starts at #808 and you will see that you can't not read at all.:loco:flamingQuote:

So your getting 11.8l/100km that's not too too bad for the winter months, ....well okay it's poor but if you have no snowtires!! (if I read you correct), ...the lack of traction will definately eat thru alot more fuel and probably the culprit.Quote:

You mean the post I already quoted? :locoQuote:

Not on only 3/4s of one. While still shitty, going 337km on 40L is a lot better than going 337km on 50 or 52L.
Thanks for the insult, not needed IMO. :AH
I get about 680km in summer.. I dont know about winter.. I havent checked. :)
