I'm getting about 400 k's from a full tank of premo in the EF. Not sure what that equates too. Umm... how big is the tank in an ef? about 65 L isnt it? What does that work out to? 16.25L/100k

Just did a check and found with a 18 month old tune my car is still achieving 16.9L/100km's on LPG I reckon that would be putting plenty of younger cars to shame for running costs!!!

According to the Fairmont it reckons 10.9L/100kms mainly city driving. But I reckon I have floored it 3 times in the 2 months I have had it.. Its so slowwwwww!

Drove the GT from Adelaide to Melbourne and used 29 litres per 100klms. 3000 stall and 2.75-1 diff combo didnt help. Sat on 2600rpm @ 100kph. Engine didnt burn cleanly because of the big arsed cam, when i got there the back of my white GT was brown and motor was blowing heaps of brown smoke. A couple of redline squirts later it was back to normal. It had me worried though

Sorry to thread mine, but it made more sense to me then starting a new thread...

Anyway, I noticed today I have done 280kms on a little under 1/2 a tank of fuel in the XF, so I should be able to get slightly over 600kms to a tank at that rate. Works out to about 10.71L/100km. Not bad for a stock carbied 4.1L 6 I think

BTW, for anybody that doesn't know, the tank on an XF sedan holds 66 litres, so it's done that 280kms on about 29-31 litres.

Mad man Iwouldnt trust that gauge. The xf last half tank last half as long as the first half. 300 kays first half and 150 second half when I had mine.

I was getting around 15.5l/100 out of my elxr8 around town ,Now the trip computer says around 11L/100 on mostly highway driving. But I am putting in around 50-55 litres of fuel per 450 odd Klms which I don't think equates to the trip reading. This can also change depending on how much of a good time I am having and can drop to the mid 300's. Also the GT injectors,throttle body and Lightning intake altered this for the worse.

That's why I also use the trip meter. Last time I had it almost full (didn't fill it until the pump flicked off, stopped when it reached the $70 mark), I reset the trip meter, it read 280kms when it read half way and 590 when it got down to one red bar flashing at me, so although it may not be 100% accurate, it's not too far from it.

Also the last few times I've put fuel in I've put in $10 worth and that's got me between 70-80 kms before it gets down to one flashing red bar again.

55L and 450km covered equates to 12.22L/100km
