Well, I have a Fairmont and before my last fill up I did 520 kms out of it. Mind you, those 520 kms was done with all grand prix traffic light starts :hehe:, a single drive at the maximum speed limited :iwsun: for a few minutes and a few hard freeway entrances.

That's not too bad if you ask me.

The average petrol use is about 13.3 litres/100km before I filled up and resetted the values.

On the highway/freeway it's about 8 litres/100km sitting on 100km/h exactly. That figure was attained from the instant fuel usage meter.

I think my temp sensor or my o2 sensor or my AFM is trashed. :shrug:

Our EB 4lt Wagon (4 Speed Auto, 200,000 on the clock) used to get around 520 K's out of tank 66 litres. There would be around 6 - 7 litres left in the tank.

This was Western Sydney into the city and in mixed diving conditions.

We get around 440 out of our EB XR8 (auto) and that is with the odd trip to 5000 RPM. Same type of driving conditions.

When my ED was stock it returned about 480 to 500 km a tank (town/highway).

I got it up to around 550 with exhaust, K&N filter and Crow cam - but that was probably largely because WOT was unusable.

With EFXR6 head, BBM (+EFXR6 fuel reg), Dev 4 cam and ELXR6 ECU I get between 600 and 635 (town/highway).
