EP3 type R fuel tank

Hi guys. Didn't notice this thread as I started up another one in regards to fuel consumption...

I'm currently on about 360km with petrol gauge just above empty. Petrol light isn't on yet. From what I've been reading here it seems I should be expecting better economy than what I'm on. Granted I have been engaging vtec a few times. A bit excited since I just got the car... And I do a lot of stop start driving.

Should I be concerned?

Nah. I get about 400ish around town driving with NO vtec at all. You waste fuel idling at traffic lights in traffic jams and lugging about in 50 zones in too high a gear (2nd or 3rd)
