Any different to you guy's? Just wondering if there is any change being that my model was the latest to arrive from japan.

Nope. That looks exactly like what I get out of a tank. Welcome back Kas.

I should get out all my dockets to and add them into the spreadsheet I started yonks ago.

I generally get about 450km or so from just under 60 litres.

Cheers,
Hymee.

I'm mainly city driving (with a lead foot) and I'm averaging around 290 km for 50 litres. Much better when I hit the highway but that's not too often at the moment unfortunately.

BVD

I only checked mine once.

I got a somewhat surprising figure of nearly 9km/litre (although there was a fair bit of highway driving and it is still in the under 1000kms running in period. So I'm only planting the foot in moderate doses. But also trying to give the motor a thorough spin and not lug it or granny it too much.

As this seems to be 25miles per gallon in the old scale I was pleasantly surprised as was expecting much less.

Dez

you're pretty much on par with what I'm getting even when I find Optimax and drive like a nun out for a sunday drive.. [ not that this happens much ]..

I have a real heavy foot. Sounds like all is in order!

The engine has loosened up a fair bit, getting a touch louder and more free revving. Loving it.

thanks

BTW - I normally run BP Ultimate 98 RON.

The other day I ran a tank of BP 95 RON PULP (yes, they had 98 AND 95)

I got noticeable less km on that tank. But I suppose there are so many variables.

Cheers,
Hymee.

BTW - on the subject of fuelsl, I still won't touch Caltex. They have not paid my repair bill yet. They have offered to, but want me to sign something clearing them of any future/consequential claims caused as a result of the **** that came out of their bowser. And a secrecy clause.

Kas

haha Hymee, i'd go sign. Caltex might send hit men out for you.
