I would have thought thats pretty steep...
was hope over 400km would b nice to get out of one full tank of fuel
My car gets about 450 per tank, and thats a mix or driving normal and spirited at times.
Although my car is tuned i remember getting more than 300 when it was stock.
Are you just hammering away with that thing? lol
I get around 380km average for city only driving.
300km sounds a little low...are you thrashing it??
yeah I am only getting around 350kms, only have 4000kms on my car.
Wondering is that will settle down soon and km's will increase ??
Also the other day I saw the fuel light for the first time, how many kms do you get with the fuel light on ?
I had one bad tank (seemingly bad juice) where I only got about 280K's Most of the time its ~400Km for me. Mostly daily city driving.
What fuel are you putting in? I know I go less distance on 95 v 98
on bp ultimate around 450, really carfully 500 i did a trip to syd topped 600 with a 1/4 left!!
I get about 10.5 lt/100klm around town using BP Ultimate 98.
On a trip I get about 8.0 lt/100klm.
Although I usually fill 'er up at about 380-400 klm. Somewhere around 35-40 litres used.
But... assuming that the tank is 55-litres then if I ran it to empty then that would be about 520 km around town and about 690 km on a trip.
I get around 550 - 600 out of a tank. However i live in the country and the majority of my driving is on the highway. However when i go for a fang in the Grampians i still get well over 400 and thats thrashing it up steep roads.
I get crap outtah mine. 5600kms on the clock and still thirsty as evah... Can't say I can recall getting over 400kms to a tank
BP Ultimate gives me the most though... I still don't think it's good enough.
I refuse to drive it like a Nanna though...

Wow, anything above 400kms would be good.
I'm assuming it is because the car is relatively new.
I only give it a squirt here and there so that couldn't be the issue.
I've heard different things, would a CAI improve or make fuel consuption worse ???
500kms? Damn I wish.. In the MPS3? ...Ermm usually averaged between....370 to 400. And people are saying their economy is improving after they have a few more kays on them. So it may very well improve for you.
Never got under 420k's.........man some people must flog the p!ss outta them .
With the CAI - depends how you drive it.
, Oh I drove it hard. What's the point otherwise, I would have got a M2, fiesta, or Barina...lol.
I keep a record of kms and fuel used every time i fill up, here's some interesting stats..
2008 Mazda3 MPS w/ Cp-e 3 inch turbo-back & SRI.
Avg Fuel Consumption: 11.52 L/100km
Lowest Fuel Consumption: 8.82 L/100km
Highest Fuel Consuption: 15.92 L/100km
Avg Trip Distance: 435.25 km
Least kms from tank: 307km
Most kms from tank: 556km
Total Spent on Fuel: $2386.45
Above stats have been taken over 32 tanks of fuel, with a total of 14,362km since new. Car is driven how it should be and always use 98 octane V-Power or Ultimate.

i use always v-power 98 octane.
for me driving normal and giving it i get about 300km.
driving like a nanny, i get over 300km.
Wen my light went on, it had about 10L left, as i filled up my tank with 45Ls.
10L should get you about 60-80ks depending on the pressure of your right foot.
