    2001 TJ auto, no mods, its done 110,000ks, tyres at 35psi, well serviced and looked
    after....

    800+ per tank is easy. Premium fuel, but I see no difference with ordinary ULP. 99%
    country driving, flat roads, semi grandpa mode, nearest town worthy of the name is 240k away. Low 8s/100k is average. Chasing economy I get into the 7s, but air con drives
    it up over the 8 mark again....

    A couple of weeks ago I drove the 240k to the nearest "city", and not being in a hurry I
    tried to see just how good I could get the fuel economy. Sitting on 103k, no air con,
    granny mode "on".....I saw 7.5 average consumption just as I got to the outskirts.

    Best ever! I don't think I can get better than that. Maybe if I sat on 90kph, but that
    gets very boring....getting the 7.5 figure was boring enough.....

    But city driving, even just around town, is a different story. Economy goes out the window. 10 litre/100k....11.....12.

    Te manual-no mods-mostly grandpa driving (sitting at the 100km speed limit)
    About 90% highway driving, but theres some big hills to go up and down.
    You forgot to define how much a "tank" was Bain, if i used the whole 71L the range would be around 750-800km. But for some reason my fuel light comes on at around 51L

    I usually get over 700km from a tank (bloody expensive to fill though ) with a mixture of approximately 65% freeway and 35% suburban driving (commuting to and from work with no passengers). It works out around 8.5-9.5l/100km give or take.

    If I go out driving on the weekend I get a bit less obviously (more suburban driving, may have passengers = less fuel economy).

    Car is mechanically stock and runs on normal ULP.

    Currently my car is N/A for a while, also has a new oxygen sensor and is now manual.
    I'm now averaging 11L/100km, down from 14L/100km when i was S/C and auto.
