How accurate is it? Because according to mine my average fuel consumption is between 9.6 -10.0L/100km's. But I get no more than 450k's before the fuel light comes on? Anyone care to shed some light?

Geez,

How did you get your's that low?

Mines a 2.5i manual, and I drive like an old folk with Premium unleaded fuel and I can't get it lower then 10.6 L/Km.

Do you drive much on the highways drndrn? Or where you don't have to stop for traffic lights and give way?

at 9.8L/100, you should be burning 44.1L of of fuel. so see hwo much you're actually filling up, cos i know with mine, even after the light comes on, there's still quite abit in there.

also, you might not be filling up to the full 64/65L capacity of the tank

Yeah well this morning I ran the car till it said I had zero or --- k's left. But I still had 8L left. Would that account for my 'missing' k's? I didn't take notice of how many K's were on the trip computer when I fulled up. I'd guess around 450-500

oh and no i don't do a lot of high way driving. Just suburban driving with the regular spirited driving. Regular being on a daily basis. :/ I honestly don't know how I keep it down that low. Hence asking how accurate it is. 'Cause sometimes I'll be going for a brisk drive and my average would actually go down. :S

damn!!...i must have a lead foot then.....i've been struggling to get it below 12.4l!!! at the moment its sitting on 13 although i am stuck in traffic mornings and afternoons...

Don't forget you're driving a GT though, while we've got the 2.5's

i drive a GT also and my average is around 10.5 and im sitting in traffic mornings and afternoons also (nrth ryde sux)

i get around 450 - 550 depending on the drive, most of the time i love to hit 2nd and 3rd to the max i thought this is normal.. how r you guys getting up to 13..

i have no idea how.....the only mod I have is the panel filter and airguide....

I'm driving in sport mode all the time....

You're still get more milage than i am. And I've got the 2.5i :S

gtspec i think your tune would be helping with your readings ......... most tunes do not run as rich as oe tunes.

i average 9.8 -10 l/100 since i got the car

is that what your trip computer says? how many k's do u get?

I'm averaging 12-13/100 in accordance to the trip computer. And I pretty much gun it every chance I get. Even though I'm stock, the tune really helps the car not run so rich.
