Most of my driving is done with light throttle openings, letting gear changes happen around 2700 to 3000 rpm. Obviously when in hilly conditions i just let the cruise control do it's thing, so on long climbs it can go back 2 or 3 gears where it will maintain 3000 to 4000, depending how steep the hill is. I also have a habit of once or twice per tank I take it to the limit in 1st & 2nd in sport shift(obviously once the engine and g/box are up to operating temp), changing around 7500. As this puts you well above the speed limit I shut it down immediately I change into 3rd.

Yes I have stock tyres, I add 2 psi as 80% of my driving is rural B roads

is there any reason i shoud have higher than 34psi on my tires on city roads?

Oh man im not gunna use 98vortex anymore.... it really makes no difference??? why do they make it then. I saw somewhere people even add octane booster for their cars.

That's how it functions on mine.

Mine too I've noticed.

I get 9-10L/100km in city
9 when granny driving mode
10 when in P plated mode.

7L/100km in Highway

Ive gotten 6.5Lish/100km driving from adelaide to loxton. 100-110km in 6th 95% of the way

So id say it is possible to get the 1000km per tank easy.

My old man has a aurion and he gets like 7.9L on highway and thats a 3.5L engine and the car weighs 300Kg more and has a shit drag coefficient

Most new car companies are doing well when it comes to fuel efficiency these days.

When the indicator says 0KMs left. Does that factor in the reserve tank. Or does it mean 0kms left including the facft that uve used up ur reserves.

Cause the other day i literally hit 0km and freaked out. Luckily i saw a servo a minute later lol. but it was a goddamn sunday. $85 for a full tank =_=

personally I have never let it get that low, I wouldn't be brave enough

I only used 1/2 a tank on the gauge coming home from Perth yesterday (550kms), I might fill up and see the actual usage. It's definately down from usual, the new tyres must do what they say they do!

My best fuel consumption ever! on weekdays I hit 10.3L/100kms and on fri-sat we went to Port Stephens and the consumption is now 7.8L/100kms. Fill my car today just out of curiosity, it gives 8.4L/100kms in real life :thumbsup:
