I calculated my fuel consumption. The Euro could have done that (I'm in melb at the moment), and still have 20-40km of range left in the tank. (plus I did about 6 full throttle runs up to 110km/h, so the remaining range would have been higher if I drove like a miser.

I drove until 2km left yesterday... I thought it might go to 0 before I reach the caltex station.

I averaged 6.7l/100km on my last trip from Adelaide to Sydney (calculated between refills; my 05 has no trip computer). That's almost 1000km from a tank, and I certainly wasn't feathering the throttle the whole way.

Mind you, my around-town consumption is significantly higher.

I have got about 900kms out of a tank when I drove from Hedland to Perth.
That was all at ~130 - 140km/h.

This sounds like great fuel figures guys. I am amazed at the impressive stats these engines have

Yep, and to top it off, good power and tractability too.

Around town, I usually see about 600km before the low-fuel light comes on, and my driving style is, how shall we say, not conducive to good fuel consumption. Interestingly, I usually get better overall consumption from the Euro than from my other regular driver, a current Golf 2.0 FSI 6-speed auto.

These cars are underrated IMHO.

I test drove a manual euro on the weekend and was pleasantly surprised a the great sound, power and handling. It felt like i was in the subaru with the handling.

The fuel figures I would have expected to be more in the 10s basing it on the power, but it sounds like Honda are the dark horse in the way of refinement etc. in all aspects.

Once I miss calculated my trip & got down to 0. Not a good experience when I hav to travel another 15km before the petrol station. Filled up 63L.

damn 779?? farrr highest ive ever goten was 650ish..

I've gotten 800km's before 95% highway driving and could have gone much more but only had the car 2 days. Light didn't even come on.

and i thought getting 660 was good!
