Fuel comsumption...

Hi there,

Wondering what u guys think 3/4 of a tank got me almost 300kms...both city/freeway driving, alot of traffic mainly. Do you think this is good or bad? lol
As for oil currently using Castrol GTX 5w-30.

I would say normal to good. on the hi-way I would be disappointing with anything under 100km for a 1/4 of a tank.

Lol that sucks. You guys get double demerit days? That's some pretty weird law. Well in Canada, we manage about 5xx km's on a tank, but Im guessing that's pure highway. Right now Im managing 200km's on half tank that is full of short starts and city, I would say that is pretty good.
