    so i get around 350-500kms on my 68L tank. true i drive quite hard and i suspect the odometer is out by up to 15% but it still seems a bit low, what do you guys expect i should get? anything wrong or should i just drive like a little old lady? :P

    350 - 500 sounds about right. Most I ever got out of my V6 88 wagon was 625 kms going to WA. Currently getting 10.6 L/100 (8 L/100 on the open road). The 89 VN I have is using 13 L/100 around town. The 91 V8 is getting 14 - 16 around town and as low as 11 on the open road.

    I can get 650 out of the 5 litre during general daily highway use MIGHT make 700 if I drove in a really straight line and didnt stop untill it ran out. 700+ in the V6 no problem
