Generally between 7.0 and 9.5 L/100km depending on the ratio of highway to city I've been doing (I usually reset the counter every tank).

Just for reference, i just got back from a long trip to mackay and back.

Fueled up before i left (BP Ultimate) and went there and back on 1 tank. The fuel light turned on after i had done 780kms (just when i got home)

So it would be safe to say that for a full tank of ultimate i could get easily over 800kms to a tank!!!!

Is this normal for everyones Euro????

You should be able to do better than that, I have no trouble getting 900+km with my CU2 Auto

I fueled up this morning back to full again. 53 litres. So 770kms to 53 litres. There was many spirited overtaking involved, and I spent a couple of days cruising around mackay traffic. All in all i think thats excellent for the Honda

Thats an average of 6.8L/100kms with traffic driving incorporated! I dont know what other people are getting but i think that is so good

Sure beats the patrol, it gets 500kms to 150L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I drove from Brisbane to Mackay on nearly one tank. 40 psi in the tyres. Had the fuel light on for 20kms or so before topping up. Had spare fuel just in case in a Jerry tank. Wanted to see how far I could get. Stuck to the speed limit the whole way. Not much overtaking and not much traffic. Had to add 10L and got there without the light coming back on.

Here's the rough figures: 980KMS, 70L, 7.14L\100kms. The trip computer was telling me I was doing about 6.5L\100KMS.

06 CL9 Mostly urban driving, I rarely use the freeway.

Usually average between 10.5-11L\100km, pretty disappointed with the fuel consumption of the Euro to be honest coming from a V6 that got the same economy on the same run with only regular unleaded :/

That seems a little high, I usually average 10.0 absolute tops for medium-lead foot urban driving. Perhaps you are trying to match V6 performance with an I4?

My b16a2 (ek civic) is using 8.3l per 100klms

Mine even worse, 2010 cu2 caltex 95, average 12.5 - 13.5/100km. Totaly urban driving, school zone and my max speed probably 50km/hours, average speed 20km/hours according to the computer trip.
