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

[Red Valdez]

Cool.. I filled it up when I collected the car, and it clicked off at 55 litres..

The fuel gauge is a little misleading. If the needle is around empty to 1/8th of a tank, that's normally around the 50-55 litre mark. The tanks are ~71l.

: of course... i stalled the TS years ago (ran out of petrol) and it took 10-15 litres of fuel just to start it up.. so that's about right. ... thanks.

Anyway, did a fair bit of driving today, mostly highway and with a light foot. Gauge had moved back up to about 2/3 and having done 200kms is now reading just over half.. If it keeps up, that should be good for 400-420kms on a tank, which is about what I thought it would do.. not too bad..
