How Many K's Per Tank

[mark180227]

Just a quick question. I drive a 95 EF Future, stock as a rock and on unleaded. I was just wonerding how many km's do you guys get to a tank. I do both city and freeway driving and roughly i get arounf 420 to 460 k;s a tank. Is this reasonable? cheers

My EL XR8 i get 650-700km on a trip (110-120kmh) and 400-450km around town not being gentle.

around 500 k's a tank around town, goin hard. Tired motor burning burning 3-4 litres of oil every 2000 k's. Not too foul if I don't say so myself. :P car is an EBII S 5 speed full zorst and crow cam.

e, the car has 210,000 kms on the dial. I really dont drive the car that hard, it just seems that 400 km to a tank is a little unusual or i might be complaining too much..

Arounds 600kms out of a full tank (been a while since that happened!) or 10L/100kms filling it up to get to work and back a few times a week. All around town, with the odd drive on the freeway (not that the Monash counts as anything but "heavy traffic").

Car's a EB1 Fairmont with a 297,000km old MPFI 3.9 that's just getting a little tired... Doesn't (really) use oil though, besides a slight leak.

Edit: My economy differs greatly with the fuel I use. Here's some examples, all down exactly the same road with similar traffic conditions and similar throttle applications. Obviously it's not 100% accurate, but it's as close as I could get it.

Shell 91 Octane - 12L/100kms
Shell 95 Octane - 10L/100kms
Shell 98 Octane - 10L/100kms
Mobile 98 Octane - 12L/100kms
United 98 Boost - ??L/100kms (fouled plugs, had to put Shell 95 in it to run properly)
United 91 Octane - 20L/100kms (never going there again)

I'm sticking with the Shell 95 Octane brew or 91 if I'm especially poor, but keep in mind this is probably because I'm running a fair bit of ignition timing. It pings lightly under full load on anything under 95 octane.

Dude do a search next time before posting this. its a common thing people ask

I get 350 - 400ks

I'm getting 350-400 booten it to much, i did get over 500

[KUZMIN]

my car is on LPG...does that count?:P
It costs me aprox $35-$40 to fill up the gas tank, and it will get me around 400km city (not being gentle)...and around 450-500km HWY (again, not being gentle--100-170)
I dont use the car on fuel much...maybe drive it for 10mins a week just to keep the head lubed up

BTW:
My car is a 96 EF ex cab. Doesnt use any oil and has 584,000km on clock.
