Guys who get 400miles per tank are pretty lucky, I can be bloody rough even where it is not necessary, but one thing I know my power plant really guzzles juice. But I also get almost the same story with the RX300 Lexus, the only odd one out is my pretty little girl - the 318iM Its fast but not a drunkard!

sorry folks. over here where petrol is cheaper than water and costs only 20 cents a litre, no one monitors consumption.

Wow... If in the U.S. it was 20 cents a gallon, we wouldnt monitor it either...

400 miles and sometimes close to 450 if I stay on cruise on the Highway. In town (and only city driving) 300-320 miles. 3.0L engine, 2001, 97k miles

Hey what place is that? I think I need to come and that side!

.............and for us Diesel powered folks, about 600miles/950km to a tank. The manual shift version is supposed to be even better, but they're a rare beast.

20 cents a gallon - oh how I wish!! A full tank in the UK costs £106 ($170USD).

MPG 16.9
 
I bought 3.0 l CPO couple of months back and it is giving avg 16.9 MPG.I drive around 30 miles to work(90% Highway).I use shell gas premium all the time.
Is there a way to increase the fuel econmy to around 20MPG on Highway driving?

Getting 16 mpg in daily driving on a 2006 4.4i with lots of Dinan mods. A "full to the rim" tank will give me 340 miles (assuming going down to 0 on the BC computer counter). I never understood how some folks can squeeze over 18 mpg on their V-8s.:dunno: Granted my exhaust and CAI do eat up a bit more gas, but not much.

the dashboard computer says 17.8 miles per gallon on mine. 4.4 v8 with staggered 20"
