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

[Bain]

As the title says.. What sort of economy are you getting out of your 3rd gen.

List your mods and the style of driving you do - even the year of the car...

For example: City/Country driving.. CAI + extractors etc etc..

This is to consolidate all the recent "OMG my cars a fuel hog" threads..

not to judge your excellent work bain, but the poll is kinda stupid (which you probably already know ).
I can get any of those choices from a tank of fuel. It's totally dependant on conditions, driver, how much it's being thrashed.
So i just selected my best option, which was 600+. I have a TJ sports muffler, K&N panel filter, lowered springs. I get 800kms from mostly highway driving.
Atm i'm getting about 450-600 in half stop-start and half highway driving, in stop start i'm gunning it a fair bit hehe.

Yes and no..

If people put in there listed mods and how they drive, then you should beable to find out (as its a public poll) what that person gets per tank of fuel.

Some people might have a list of mods as long as my arm and get 600+kms out of tank all because they baby the car..

Others with no mods might only get 300kms a tank.. These people seeing others getting bigger and better value out of their tanks of fuel can then go and start a topic.. "Whats wrong with my car" or use the search button in regards to "poor performance" or something..

If anything, it slows down the amount of "whats your fuel economy thingo's"

Heck even the supercharged or hi-po na cars might be getting better fuel economy than some stock cars.

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.
