    E10 is suppose to get u slightly less km per ltr
    its been said in a few fuel threads
    i'd say this is quite normal
    but i'd thought u'd get more fuel out of an FD
    depends on how u drive etc
    are u calculating it properly?
    how much ltrs u filling up with 380km on clock?

    everyone has their own preferences
    shop around with different fuels
    see which one ur car likes best
    ie. runs smoother/cleaner

    Im getting around the same and my car is auto as well. I've only done under 3,000kms. I do alot of stop and go driving, all under 10kms at a time so that explains it.

    I've tried E10 a few tanks before and have notice Im getting less kms per litre with the above same condition so by the time you work it out Im only saving around $3 bucks every tank so I've decided to stick to premium fuel from now.

    I have an 08 Sport manual and I run it on E10. I certainly don't grandpa drive and I'm getting 450km out of a city tank and 550km if I have a couple of freeway runs. I rarely use aircond though, would this effect it this much?

    That is going from full to fuel light.

    I get around 450km on 91RON before the light comes on, so 380 on E10 sounds okay. I don't drive aggressively.

    But my car has only done 1500km so maybe its still in the 'run in' period?

    Generally speaking, driving with aircon during the summer period usually takes around 20% of the fuel in your tank. So it would have some affect.

    I drive a 2008 FD1; I get a fuel consumption of about 8.5l/100k shuttling around town. That theoretically works out to be about 580ks if I drain the tank dry, but I rarely go past 3/4 empty.

    Someone smack me in the back of the head if I've got this wrong, but E10 fuel has less energy density than your 91 RON, so you have to chug more fuel to get the same power output.

    They don't market E10 for being fuel efficient, they market it for being environmentally friendlier as, on a per-litre basis, you're using less fossil fuels. A pity that you have to chug more litres to go at the same pace provided by normal fuels.
