75 liters....I was never able to go past 65 liters in mine.

I have 8400km on mine and best mileage I got out of a full tank is 537km...highway only (Halifax-Mtl over Xmas period).

City driving....max is 425-450/tank. It is a thirsty machine.

The other day the gas needle was touching the empty line. It showed I was good for an other 50km. But since the gas light has been on for a while I filled it up. I was only able to put 65 liters. So I believe we have a huge reserve of 10 liters. So I should of been good for another 77km...

Actually there is a thread about this

75 litres!!! that must be a record I'm thinking! It must have been running on fumes.

I had heard that it is harder on the fuel pump when starting on low fuel especially in cold weather so I've been filling up no lower than 3/4 of a tank. Can anyone confirm this?

Hello everyone,

am I the only manual tranny out here? at 3100kms mark, I averaged around 10L/100km. (ok, sometimes it's 10.5)

95% on HWY 401 ---> that translates to around 60/40 HWY/CITY.
Not going faster than 110km/h unless I'm late for work.
Not shifting beyond 2500rpm unless I have to do it.
Not hard breaking, nor fast accelerates.
Let go of the gas when I see jams far ahead.
Oh, and I do warm up the car before driving off (no, not broiling hot).

Anyone else doing better than I did?

I always keep it above 50% full just because condensation can form in the tank when it gets really cold and this could form in the gas line and freeze. Supposedly the Canadian gas companies use a different formula in the winter to prevent ice forming in the gas lines, but I'm not taking any chances.

Don't forget that everyone is going to be getting worse mileage in the winter due to the increased choke needed to start the engine, snow & slush on the road, and warm up times. As I read in the Globe and Mail today, "you get 0 miles to the gallon when you're warming up your car".
