Must have been many years ago and your memory is fading ...c'mon 860/870 out of an in line 6 wagon... Given if it used 70 L , that's about 34mpg in the old money or 7.14 L per 100k. Doing 50kph, down hill with a tail wind were we ?? |

around the city in my au ute, i can push 800 out of the tank, if i baby it. its normally around the 700 mark.
only done one highway run, from sydney to jindabyne, back to canberra and still had 280km to go, so i rekon i could push the 1000km mark

filled up in geraldton made it back to perth 415k's and shes only used a tad over a 1/4 of a tank. The fuel guage is not a great indicator of fuel use. On all the EB's that I have owned, the guage stays above the 3/4 mark for ages and then drops back a cog and flogs down to empty. At 3/4 mark you probably only have a little over 30 litres left in that tank! (that's my experience with them anyway!) Go and fill your tank up to full again, see how many ltrs you have used and then work out ltrs/100k's to get a better, far more accurate indicator!

On my trip to QLD the needle creeped slowly to the halfway mark and that was about 400km...and once passed the half way point it just dropped. Got up to the last indicitator before empty and had done nearly 600kms...Drove in the city for about 50 or 60ks before the fuel gauge lit up. As I said before...about 700km on a full tank of 98RON on the highway. phong =P~

Around town I get 450kms, never really done a long trip to test the economy but I'd expect around 700kms. My trip computer says 13.2 when I first had the car I was doing more highway and it was 11.5, don't really trust my trip computer or my car when it comes to fuel sometimes it will be good on the highway 7-9litres other times it'll be around 11, stupid car.
