I'd be happy with that if I were you.

I wouldn't settle for anything less than 345.6km's per tank.

I've got pulley, rockers and diff gears and I get comfortably 11.5L/100 (550ks from a tank) and I do a lot of stop start driving every day. Thats from the 70L statesman tank, but you should at least be getting 450ish if you have a 63L tank.

Thanks. I have only been using it every second to third day and i drive like a grandpa and only still get bad economy. When I drive it a bit harder I only lose 40-50kms. Do u think a Memcal and tune might get me some more ks to the tank

Drive my Calais every day and get around 450-500kms per tank and average around 14.5 L/per 100. City peak hour kills it but its great on the hwy. Thats with every bolt on + tune but with a manual box.
A new memcal should help fuel economy but depending on if its a generic tune or whether its a mail order (tuned to suit) style will influence what kind of result you will get

Yer most of my driving is hwy no traffic as I am on site at 6.30 and finish at 2.30. I think it's drinking to much than it should. I am happy with performance but if I can't achieve more kms I will prob sell it. To expensive to run and I don't drive it much as my mrs drives it with the kids. Need something more fuel efficient
