hey mxysxy
the petrol figures u pointed out must be wrong
i definitely got 420km before the petrol light came on in my fto
u said u get around 360km
that like what i get in my evo in the city, its about 320km actually in a 55L tank

1/8 of 60lt tank is 7.5 lt
So you are doing 600+ kms with 50lts of petrol,
thatâ€™s 8.3lt per 100kms inc mivec every night, sounds like most of this is in city as well

Donâ€™t get me wrong but, I am really having trouble to understand this.

Thatâ€™s probably because I am jealous, cause my car has serviced every 2500-3000kms.

I drive a GR so no mivec for me

thanks for the reply/input guys
this gives me a general idea now of the capacity..it seems pretty good
just going to be using it for uni and going out in the weekends..
i assume the insurance on the FTO is reasonably high for me since im a P plater. however, insuring it under parents name should estimate about to how much ?
and when choosing insurance companies, which do u guys go for for the FTO /./.

600 is easy on the freeway....If take I fang it hard all the wayi get over 500 still cos 50% of the kms still on the freeway. this includes a 5-10min warm up each morning also.

I do a lot of freeway driving and I usually get around 500kms before I fill up. That 500kms is not even tapping into the reserve yet (before the fuel light comes on for the first time).

Not sure if this is related but when I get my injectors cleaned and fuel filter renewed I only get about 400kms before the light will come on.

Maybe there is less fuel being pumped into the cylinders when the fuel injectors are dirty. I know this kinda sounds obvious but what are everyone's thoughts?
