Fuel Economy - What do you get out of a tank? (3rd gens only)

[greenmatt]

Not quite stock KL AWD, my economy is ****house. In the city(where I live) I get 15-18km/100. On the open road 10 or less. Im not really that upset though, I knew it wouldnt be great on fuel when i bought it.

TL ES 5 speed manual. All "city driving" so to speak. Consistently get low 12L/100km around town, low 8s on highway trips.

Student with poor paying job, so it's driven like a wimp as much as possible for the "economy", I ignore the fuel economy when I'm feeling enthusiastic (up to 18l/100 in a particular week) so I guess that is the point of the poll.

3.5 TH Sports. No engine or exhaust mods. Stereo gear is the only weight. With all city driving and a mixure of driving hard and soft I get about 10.5l/100kms which is about 550-600ltrs to the tank.
Oh and thats running Premium Unleaded all the time.

I get about 750 kilometres from a tank generally, and this is mainly Melbourne to Geelong. I find that running about the suburbs doesn't hurt that figure too much, providing that there is not too much stop/start. I have seen an average figure of mid 6 litres per 100kms on the trip computer while travelling in Gippsland over a distance of 100 kilometres or so. This is in a TH Advance 3.5 auto.

2000 3.5l TH Advance Wagon. Totally stock engine wise.


600-680km per tank(if i run it till dead empty) usually sits about 9.5-10.2 average fuel usage on the trip computer.

Country open road driving most of time to and from work, some country town driving on weekend. Usually put the boot into it overtaking trucks or lines of cars but other than that I use cruise control set to 100 most of the time with minimal stops and starts through towns/at intersections.
