Default How many kms to a tank
Hey guys

I just thought ill ask everyone how many kms ya get to a tank of fuel.

When i fill up i get about 590kms city driving with a bit of drag racing now and again .

Just last weekend i drove to Margret River and back, did a fair bit of driving while down there too and got 810kms to a full tank.

Mine is a 5 speed, and only 17,000kms on the clock...

How do you guys get on

i have come to realise that my biggest killer of fuel is the small trips to and from the train station during the week. the car doesnt get a chance to warm up and i think thats causing it to drink like a fish!

Glenn....whats goin on. Do you just sit in traffic or something. Even my BA XR6 turbo gets 400 - 450km with alot of stop start driving. All the missus does in her AU is her and there around town and gets better than that.
