highway driving i get about 740-750km to a full tank.

around town usually around 550-600km.

2000 TH sports manual, rear muffler changed.

'04 TL magna, completely stock.
I'm getting around 550km from a tank, trip computer has settled at 12.9L/100km.

I drive like a grandma around 80% of the time... although, I did see an old lady zing past me one time going at least 100 in a 70 zone (also driving a TL magna).

10.8l/100km.

This is what im getting out of my TL VR manual. Its a big change from the 13.5 i used to get over the same distance and driving from the 380... And the TL is faster too!

The new car sits on about 10 - 12 L / 100kms.
About 500 kms out of the tank but i only put 55 Litres in it. Thats if im driving calm around town even. long runs even better economy.

Im getting around 11.2l ~ 11.5l per 100kms in the ralliart.

Hoping to see it go down when i get my haltech installed and tuned...oh... and drive a 'lil more sedately... :p

[Boozer]

Got as low as 9.2L/100km at the start on a country drive before finishing at about 9.8L there and back... averaging mainly 110km/h for about 90% of the trip the other 10% was varied speeds as well as my partner's dad was holding on to 4th gear at 80km/h,3rd at 60km/h!!! at some stages.
Not bad for a 3.5 manual vrx i thought. i think it used nearly the same as my TF 3.0 auto

2003 TJ VRX series 2 (stock) $60 of petrol or 50L put in = 350km at the very most. Now that is ****house

Yes; it really is.

You should perhaps be getting your car looked over to see exactly why it's like that.
Perhaps your hand brake is permanently on?
Maybe your transmission isn't working right?
Maybe your air filter is a solid lump of gunk?
Maybe your spark plugs no longer have a decent spark gap?

I'm getting better mileage than that on LPG!

I'm getting the same thing for my 2003 TL VR-X. Had to fill up at 370km today though, it's the most I've got out of a tank since I bought it.

It's due for a service soon, so I'll get my mechanic to look over it and see why it's chewing through so much fuel.
