I get it, everyone eventually needs to change out their tires…. in which case it usually don't then stay in OE form , but that is a high wear rubber part.

Adam_L, you got this ol boy all confused. Who are you debating with -

8.8 L per 100km = 26.7 miles per gallon.


Toyota US website states : MPG between 21 and 28
https://www.toyota.com/86/features/mpg/6253/6255/6251



Aussie spec sheets states average of 8.4L/KM.

Your car is fine and I would say most 86 owners are getting between 7.5-9 litres per 100KM combined - not including spirited/track driving.

Oh, I hope not (bolded part) -

That's right down there with an M-60 tank getting gallons/mile -

Unless I'm missing something.

"I'm getting 8.8 km/litre combined which seems absurd. Everyone I've spoken to IRL gets at least 11-12km/litre.

In that case, the proper conversion would be:

8.8 kilometers per liter would = 20 some miles per gallon (US)



(don't make me bring ol @Ultramaroon or @Tcoat in to straighten you out - )

You drove your car, transported yourself (possibly others , or other things), you made it from point A to point B unmolested by other vehicles. Nothing bad happened ….only good things happened, you're still safe and sound / healthy. Your twin is still intact , no damage. If damage happened, then surely would need to modify it back to how it once was (if that's possible, if it's not totaled).

It's like saying "you only live once" , or "nothing happened". Those are fairly absolute statements, no wiggle room/ fixated vision. Well, you don't only live once. You live a new day, each day, 365 days per year. You only die once = that is a fact.

One of the better memories I have of my FR-S, was the day I took delivery. It was OE, bone stock, unmolested , then I drove home 340 miles mostly in the dark in 260 minutes, and my front headlights weren't at the right angle (needed to get them readjusted later)

Hum hasn't been called a "young" man since sometime around the Renaissance.

This ^
The gauge does not read liters per kilometer and converting the displayed number to MPG is wrong be it imperial or US gallons.


I will admit when I first read the Aussie document I couldn't understand why they were squaring the KMs!

OK.

So, the OP reports his fuel consumption as "8.8 km/litre".

The question is how many miles per US gallon is that?

About 20.
And his friends that say they are getting "better" at 11 would be about 25.
The measurement is wrong though.
If you use the liters per 100 kilometers that the car is actually showing he is really getting about 26MPG and his friends with 11 are getting 21MPG.


That is unless he has taken the L/100K reading from the dash and converted it to K/L for some bizarre reason.

I agree; that settles it.

Right @Rogue13 ?
