    i average probably 450k's a tank in my 03 astra SRi - city driving (and not driving conservatively at all)

    highway driving - probably average around 600k's tank (best was almost 700k's)

    all of this is on optimax 98 RON

    Hey buddy,
    Like i said, i would say i get around 450kms in city/freeway driving. I drive a stock 04 Barina SRi. Could prob get to 500kms if i let it run right down. I don't rev it past around 2700rpm. It is possible... just drive around like you're cruisinClick here to enlarge . I also hardly use the air con, coz it sucks performance (and petrol). For instance, from full, out of a quarter of a tank i just got 135kms. As i said, i do not do this all the time. Sometimes those revs do reach 6500rpm, but not that often

    Oh yeah, and on Mobil Synergy 98 RON. Just started to put in 95 Premium. No performance difference, but it'll be interesting to see if there's any fuel consumption change

    04 astra sxi - city driving is between 550 and 600km every time.

    country driving, well just got back from a round trip from sydney to tamworth and got a little over 700kms from a tank of fuel.

    i use just normal boring fuel... non of the more expensive stuff AND i always drive with the air con on. i hate driving with the windows down so for allmy driving, windows are up and air con is on!

    04 Barina... lately, before the pod came off and the service, like 350kms to a tank, and all laidback country driving, now...

    about 500kms, a mixture of town driving (note, not city driving) and country/highway driving.

    I basically use a tank a week.

    Oh yes, air con is on sometimes... depends. Weather is cooling now, so not as much.
