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

[Bain]

As the title says.. What sort of economy are you getting out of your 3rd gen.

List your mods and the style of driving you do - even the year of the car...

For example: City/Country driving.. CAI + extractors etc etc..

This is to consolidate all the recent "OMG my cars a fuel hog" threads..

not to judge your excellent work bain, but the poll is kinda stupid (which you probably already know ).
I can get any of those choices from a tank of fuel. It's totally dependant on conditions, driver, how much it's being thrashed.
So i just selected my best option, which was 600+. I have a TJ sports muffler, K&N panel filter, lowered springs. I get 800kms from mostly highway driving.
Atm i'm getting about 450-600 in half stop-start and half highway driving, in stop start i'm gunning it a fair bit hehe.

Yes and no..

If people put in there listed mods and how they drive, then you should beable to find out (as its a public poll) what that person gets per tank of fuel.

Some people might have a list of mods as long as my arm and get 600+kms out of tank all because they baby the car..

Others with no mods might only get 300kms a tank.. These people seeing others getting bigger and better value out of their tanks of fuel can then go and start a topic.. "Whats wrong with my car" or use the search button in regards to "poor performance" or something..

If anything, it slows down the amount of "whats your fuel economy thingo's"

Heck even the supercharged or hi-po na cars might be getting better fuel economy than some stock cars.

Not quite stock KL AWD, my economy is ****house. In the city(where I live) I get 15-18km/100. On the open road 10 or less. Im not really that upset though, I knew it wouldnt be great on fuel when i bought it.

Driving in to fill up as normal last yesterday & before I filled up yesterday checked the trip computer to find Av. Fuel = 9.4/100km where I would have expected around 11.5L. Try explain that?

Don't worry, just another one of me mindless post. When I bought the car it was running 12.7 and it's been getting better ever since.
