doubt you would get 100km out of 10L, i drive conservatively and drive for a reasonable amount of time when going to uni(25-30 mins) and i use about 11L per 100km

if youre starting your car and turning it off more often you would use more fuel

Thats shocking economy... my commodore gets that and it's a 3.8 ltr V6...

*Rethinking getting an FTO at this fuel economy...pity the MR2's are more expensive... :s*

Wtf, you can NOT be getting those figures from driving conservatively. I rev the hell out of mine and get at least 450-500 from a tank.

I'm talking 1st and 2nd to 5000 rpm in traffic and around town.

With cars like ours, there is a hell of a lot more to the fuel consumption than just how conservatively you drive it.
