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

[tww]

This was me on Wednesday



She needed 58.78 litres. Had done a bit of a highway run though, 270km's down to Geelong and back. Filled it with 98 to see if there would be any difference and she is just under half full with 380kms on the trip meter. But it's been a different last couple of days to usual, lot of highway driving. I'll drop more 98 in over the next 2-3 fills to see if there is a true difference.

Long term average over last 90 tankfulls is 10.390l/100km's.

Long standing opinion says no.
I also did dyno testing on Ultimate 98 with octane booster versus standard 91, absolutely no difference.

back then i had a stock TJ 3.5 and used to get 300 km's on gas. drove her pretty hard. But hey if i wanted to save money on fuel i would have bought a bloody barina!
