    I got 724k's out of a tank on a highway trip once. I didn't mean to go that far but I miscalculated and didn't realise that when the light came on there wasn't a petrol staion for another 70k's. In normal driving I average around 9.5l/100 but I have seen it down as low as 7.8 on the MFA on an all highway trip at speed limit+ around 4-5k's an hour.

      That doesnt sound right! isnt the 2lt only a 50 something tank.

      Also guys need to calculate on liters, not KM. KM will be effected by the roads (hilly/flat), driver (accelerating hard), car (fully loaded, roof racks on) etc, so its like saying how long is a piece of string when it comes to how many km you can get

          Most cars get about 30 - 50 km of travel once the fuel light comes on. Not a good thing to let it conk out, kills the injectors and other bits I am told
