Question Fuel Consumption Figures

I'm just curious what everyone fuel consumption is. I checked today and my average is 13.3L/100. I recall Dan, (Abraxas), mentioning his average reading was just over 9!
Mine is mostly start stop city driving so not the best conditions. I'm interested to see what others are getting.
Cheers.

Yeah I guess and having exhaust mods and pod and running aircon doesn't really help either. Anyway the improvements outway the thirst. :evil3:

Hey All, my average fell since I've owned her, started at about 13.9, and worked it's way down to 10.9.

On the cruise down to Melbourne though, I reset the averager-thingy and was able to get down into the 8.8 region doing 110 on the highways. On return to Sydney, she averaged between 8.9 and 9.2. I think that'll level out, probably back into the 10's when I start doing the run to work again.

At one point on the return trip I'd used a quarter tank of fuel, and read we had covered 245km's... Imagine getting nearly 1000km's out of a tank of fuel!?!?!?!? It didn't happen lol, turned out more like high 600's.
