i constanly get 700 to 800 to a tank. Of course that is country driving and not flogging it. As you did not mention if that is city driving, if it is i would suggest you lift your foot a bit and maybe get a tech to have a look......

around 450km round city. mainly driving to work. auto.

used to get 600km when worked at a place that took me at least 45min to get there. 75% of that on freeway but even on freeway was doing round 120km/hr to 140km/hr :whistling

Depends on what you mean by 'a tank'. I usually get about 700 by the time the fuel light comes on, 800 when the 'kms to empty' hit zero and probably 850-900 (never actually run it till dry!) when the tank is actually empty. This is mainly highway driving with a bit of city (80:20 say).

I'll get an easy 400 from a tank of LPG, that's when the DTE hits 0.. I can drive for another 50km or so after that though..

That's purely city driving and driving fairly hard..

Highway I can get over 500km easily. I haven't got full highway driving in a while. But the last time I did I got about 550km..

btw, i dont really drive hard and its all city driving, so compared to most of you, my mileage is not that high.
