    It's more useful to mention litres/100km rather than kms to a tank as that could mean anything depending how inaccurate your fuel gauge is.

    Mine does 12L/100km which is mostly freeway and a bit around town. This will improve if I ever manage to get the car running right.

    The gauges aren't super accurate, on empty i think you've got around 12 litres left in the tank or something, thats if you are equating with nothing on the gauge with nothing in the tank. Tho seems like everyone else is getting better fuel economy, might be a few issues..

    I'll let you know if I ever get to empty a tank! Fuel is the only thing I've not spent money on.

    i got 600km out of a full tank driving home from melbourne. and normally get 400km to a tank driving around town. ive got a j-spec manual n/a. economy will differ slightly from car to car as there are different gear ratios to put into account

    Before when I had my chromies on I'd be lucky to get over 400km's to a tank purely around town. Now, I usually get almost 500 to a tank driving around town :)

    Let's not forget that J-spec's have a less conservative fuel map than Aus-specs

    ok so sounds like ive got a little problem there going on with my car...would appear im getting like 14L/100k on my 90 TT J-pec Auto which doesnt seem veyr right..

    RBZ 260 Z nutcase

    when i got the z it was like 22L/100

    at the moment i seem to be averaging around 14 to 15L and i don't piss fart around with it anymore. prob out of those 15l i loose about a 1l through the filler neck. which seems about right with others in this post.

    dodgey compliance job. retards siliconed the OZ spec unleaded filler neck/flap to jap one. I give u one guess what fuel does to silicone or any sealing gunk.
    it falls apart.

    full tank + slightly quicker right turn= Ultimate 98 all over the road. i think that explains the 22L when i got the car. :D

    now i only fill up just over half about 35L and i manage to get from 220 to 250km depends how many quick right hand turns i make.

    i really need to find the oz speck filler neck or fix the one i got.

    14l in auto prob not that bad.

    I get about 450 - and I fill up about 55l in my NA. TT's just got new O2's and nistune so it will be interesting to see how long it lasts...
