I know this has been covered in other forms before but how many Ks should i be getting per tank of fuel? I do a mix of highway and around town driving and get about 420K per tank of fuel.
Is this ok or should i be getting more? |

420 is right if you have a heavy foot
Could squeeze a bit more if not |

Seems around average to me but i am sure some will disagree with me lol.
I get anywhere from 400-500 kms for a tank. Depending on how i drive it. The harder the drive it, the less kms i obviously get. On average i get about 450 with a bit of highway driving to and from uni.

Depend on how heavy your foot is, the state of tune your car in, what mods have been done to the car.

Thanks for the replys.
I am not that heavy footed but i also dont nurse it. I have got the sports exhaust and extractors on it :thebirds: . It seems that some of you think 420ks per tank is ok but some seem to get neare 500ks per tank. |
