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

[wookiee]

agreed... I've never filled my car with less than 95. but now I *have* to put 98 in it.

at 11.8L/100km it would take you ~7L to travel 60km. I'm assuming that your 40L example is your average tank fill up, and that means you'd use about 33L of 98 to do what 40L of 91 does. that's a huge difference. that's almost 18%, and the price difference between 91 and 98 is less than 10%... makes sense to me.

but where are you getting fuel at less than $1.40/L??? every station here has it at $1.45 at least!

and without making this a substitute for the fuel economy thread, 11.8L/100km is bad, mmmkay?! I get less than that around town.

cheers,

it depends i guess, i'm getting similar fuel economy at the moment (11.4L/100k's), but thats around town, with climate control probably on all the time.

and its still questionable as to economy differences... 3rd gens have no knock sensor, so not everyone has noticed the same differences you 'appear' to have done

meh, theres other threads for this convo, and enuff discussion been done on it over the years!
