Is anyone having such problems? Thanks in advance! |
With my 86 I drive 50/50, city and highway for work everyday.
I do on average 450km (279 mi) to a tank.
Best I've done was 600+ km (roughly 385 mi) on a road trip sitting on cruise cont. and using high gears, not a lot of stop and starting. That was at 6.7 literes per km (15.7 mpg)!
Oh, I drive M/T, have 32k km (19.8k mi) and use 98 octane fuel in aus (see my mods in signature below)
-- Everytime I fill up I reset my trip meters, and reset my avg. fuel consumption. Perhaps doing that will help you out by giving a most recent avg. fuel reading. if you haven't reset it then it's showing your avg fuel. for the life of the car and that's obviously impossible to make a dent in. --
