I need a fair bit of work done on mine, as normally I can get around 400-450kms per tank. However this last tank has only got me 296kms.... and that was down to 34km DTE. Driving only around town, but like a stoned grandma.

When I eventually get my tax back, I'll give the old girl a 10th birthday present.

Old thread but meh. Just filled up and it read 964 DTE.

I filled up, drove 674 km to be exact, then filled up again. It took just under 51 litres. Going from this, it equates to 7.56l/100km, which sounds too good to be true.

I live 5-10 mins away from the CBD in Hobart so start/stop driving for 5-15 mins and I'm where I usually want to be. By the time I'm home the engine's only just warmed up lol. My bro and dad have I6's and get 350-450 pure town driving. My XR8 only gets 300-350, lol but as I said I should probably walk!
