Depends on driving style, modifications to car (cold air intake, extractors, tune etc), also goes off fuel used (98Ron, cheap **** fuel), also goes off how hard you drive.. freeway driving all the time will increase it..

Dist to empty is based on avg spd & fuel from the previous tank used.

Saying that depending on what ur avg fuel is weather it be 11.5 or 12.5 will have an effect on what the dist to empty will be.

My car's gone really strange lately. It says I'm doing 14.5L/100kms but this tank has lasted nearly 2 weeks. Usually I get 1 week and around 12L/100kms.

All I can say is that **** happens. The computer's got a mind of its own.

i dont know if it should be this high but whenever i fill my tank it says i've got 760 - 780k's till empty, keep it below 2500 RPM and you'll average like 9L / 100km.

My car drinks fuel like Aussies drink beer. It usually sits around 14.5L/100km around town and only says 500km left when i fill it up. This is driving like a grandma....
