Well i put fuel in my car when im on dead empty. Last week i put 28 litres in her, and managed to get 280km's before i had to put more fuel in it. You do the math:D

well it does use a fair bit more when it has the 91ron fuel, don't know why tho.

well her's is the sensible car, mine's the fun one. it'll stay an 8

I may actually retract my earlier statement of the vc staying an 8, i'm now heavily considering putting an rb30 in it. thoughts?

Pajero LWB Wagon, Power/economy what's that ???
You are actually using 11.1 litres per 100km or getting 9 km per litre.

Litres per 100km : 33/2.97 = 11.11
kms per litre : 297/33 = 9

i just did a 500km trip and used under 3/4 of a tank. sitting 10kms over the speed limit and getting up to 160km/hr when overtaking. although that only happened a couple of times for a very short moment.
