I rarely seen the low fuel warning light come on under 600km when I had my FD1 Auto. The best figure i ever achieved was 5.8L/100km. but that car is long gone now

To me that figure around town with alot of stop starts seems normal. My wife gets about 10 L/100 km around town only, no freeway or steady cruising. I thought that was a bit high until I saw the figure on Honda's website for around town only of 10.2 or something like that. I used to own a KH Verada and the trip computer used to indicate I was getting 12.8 around town, so the 2ltrs less sounds about right.

On the freeway the car gets nearly 700kms' per tank. Anyone that gets 500 and over must have a mix of city and at least some steady 70-80k driving as well. I don't believe anyone anyone can get 550-600 with ONLY city stop start driving, but thats in my opinion.
