on the highway between Mt Isa and Townsville in my old VCT XR6 (manual)i could get between 850 to 900km on a tank doing 110km/h.in town was generally around the 500 to 600km mark depending on my right foot.most people find it hard to believe that it got 900km on a tank but that is no lie.(by the trip meter i could have got 915
 )in my fairmont EF that i have now i get 700 on the highway,or on the trip meter it usually reads an average of 10L/100km .around town is usually 500 to a tank.(auto)

Approx 13L/100kms in the EL. That's on LPG and mainly highway driving. 500kms for $35? Yes please!
In comparison, the Peugeot gets ~6.3L/100kms. 850-900 out of a 55L tank on a mixed cycle of driving.
