Thread: How much KM's do you get out of a Tank?

  1. #21

    Default

    I seem to average about 380km per tank, though when I fill it up, it's usually about 46 or 47 litres I'm filing up - I believe it's a 55 litre tank? Not quite game enough to try run it for much longer than that (the light comes on around the 370km mark).

    Using 95 RON, tried 98 RON (BP Ultimate), but didn't notice any difference in fuel usage. The meter currently states 10.8L/100km, though a few months ago that was usually about 10.5L/100KM - not sure if it's the hotter weather or my driving style changing.

    Gen 2 MPS (Series 1), mostly city driving (80km and below), little to no highway driving.

    so i got a stock gen 2 mps 3. and my last tank i got 520km but avrage out 490 - 520km to a full tank which personally im happy with.... so its on 9-10lt per 100km but with the power it produces the fuel economy is great....

    6 MPS here, my avg at the moment is sitting on about 12.5 city driving only and I do drive pretty relentlessly sometimes .. Had it down under 9l/100 on freeway crusing in 6th but that was only a short trip ~100kms.

    As par for the course I average around 470-500km's per tank (98RON, normally shell optimax) - averaging 9.3L/100km on the trip computer at the moment (Mazda I think advertise 9.9L/100km when the gen II 3 MPS's first came out??)

    And definitely wouldn't trust the range on the trip computer as far as I could throw it! I fill up and it displays 700km and it generally decreases at a ratio of 1.3:1 in terms of range:actual consumption. Heading out towards Black Hill (back of Minmi, Newcastle) on a tuesday night, give it a boot full in 4th gear and the range drops by 3km in the space of about 30 seconds. Then I feel guilty because the comp indicates that I'm "wasting" petrol :S

    lately my avg consumption has been climbing to scary areas. I'm currently sitting between 13-14/100km. I'm lucky to get 400-450 from a tank if city driving. Highway driving marginally better, hovering around the 10/100km mark. Anyone know if I should be owrried?

    Maybe just service time, yes?

    8.4 L/100

    Around 600 ish km's to the tank.

    Daily round trip of 50km's consisting of 50% highway, 50% city / town driving.

    I baby it where needed and hammer it when the time and place is right.

    That is worse fuel consumption than I have in my 2.4L AWD outlander.........

    I would get it checked, yes!

    Around 400 a tank if I'm lucky. All city driving!

    I got close to 600 a few years back in a long drive back from Emerald to Brisbane. I was running on fumes towards the end, I managed about 10k's when the computer read "0"

    I got 390 on the freeway on the weekend with two bikes on the roof and into a headwind the whole way to Coota from Sydney. Had cruise set on 120kph and have had 550+ before on the same stretch of road.

    Trip tells me I am averaging 9.9L/100km for the life of my car.
