I recently got 500km from a tank around town and 600km mostly highway driving in my EB sedan I6. Is this good, bad or otherwise?

damn! i wish i got 500ks for around town driving. i'm currently getting 300 per tank around town, so high teens per 100ks :(. And i have no idea what is causing that to happen :/

Don't forget to mention what engine/transmission you have when giving fuel figures, so everyone is clear.

I can't help much - I have only done around 200 kms this year.

I get around 500km around town with some highway driving....get around 650-700km pure highway driving, around 350-400km pure town driving
(note, all figures are in economy mode)

I reckon I'd get about 250km when Im being an idiot

I get about 350km to a 3/4 tank (I always fill it up when it reaches the quarter mark) in my MPI EA 5spd.

This is a combination of highway / city driving - and I'm a bit of a lead foot at times!
