    Just did a round trip from Adelaide to Melbourne in a 04 Stock TL AWD VRX. Average for the trip was 9.7lt/100km, including some driving around melbourne, a little dissapointed thought it would be a little lower, at least in the 8's. Hopefully the exhaust when I get it fitted will improve things.

    i avg about 450kms - 500 kms before the lgihts comes up, avg about a touch under 13 100% city plus bit of towing for a long long time.

    now after using the "new" shell unleaded(being using shell unleaded for a long time) my driving range dropped to 420? figure went up to like 13.7?

    the tickets and ads says it was suppose to increase your fuel economy?

    I will be travelling from Melbourne to Wagga Wagga Soon and will be using optimax. The drive is about 440kms (Highway). How many kms do ya think 1 full tank (72L) will give me, assuming no traffic and crusing speed of 110km/hr in 5th Gear with all 4 tyres @36psi

    My car is a VRX and is stock and i'll be the only 1 in the car. So minimum weight!

    ill take a guess and say 100% highway driving will result in 680kms to the 70L tank untill the light comes on.

    and u will use roughly 38L to get there.
