I think we covered this off lol.

I would like the guy who started this tread to post up his actual calculation to ensure we are not talking sh*t i.e how many Kms and how much fuel in Ltrs did u put in?

i.e. 450 km and 52ltrs = 11.5l/100km by my calculation.

Too many variables.

My fuel light switches on at 430km about. what about yours??

I'm pretty sure my fuel light won't show until after 500, but I'll take more notice this time around and let you know.

my car can only last about 400km with 60L fuel. Do you guys get the smell of petrol aorund your car when you start it up?

easiest way to calculate. Wait until your about a 1/4 tank left, fill up the car and then drive it until it reaches a 1/4 tank again then do the calculation.

Yeah, I do.

I was actually surprised with the fuel efficiency that I'm getting - pretty standard 9L/100km, even though work done = pod, extractors, high-flow exhaust (I'm pretty sure) ending with cannon.

I was even more surprised because there is a pretty noticeable smell of petrol when the car is idling, thought it might have been running way too rich but apparently not

i reset my gauge everytime I fill up, so I usually know strait away how my fuel consumption has been.

As payaya has stated.

Reset your trip ODO when u fill up. When you fill up agian you calculate it...I wouldnt be using the guage and guessing how many litres are left.
