Just thought i might start a thread bout every1's fuel economy..currently im getting around da 400k on a tank..wat is every1 else getting :D
between 13.5 - 16L/100k's for me

I usually use between 10 - 12 litres per 100km, so out of a tank anywhere between 600 - 700k - out of my TJ Sports Auto

Man..i basically fill my tank for about $40 -$50 and i get just over 400 k's..and dats driving normal :confused: wat am i doing wrong

I think your right foot might be a bit bigger than mine. Also if you live in Sydney and travel peak hour a lot thats probably the problem, living in Newcastle I don't do as much stop - start driving.

i get between 11 and 13 L per 100K

10-13L/100km here

10-13L/100k here as well. This is with my 3.5 manual, and Sydney driving.

11 - 13.5 : Melbourne traffic.

****e.... I get 10-11 & I thought THAT was bad! Then again, only bout 1/2 of that is city driving.

I haven't gone above 11.7 for a whole tanks worth yet - usually a very low 11.

That's with about 1/2 city & 1/2 flowing traffic driving. Quite a bit of fast launching but minimal use of the aircon so far.

My Mum's KH Verada usually sits somwhere between 12.5 - 13 with the climate control on non stop - but more sedate driving.

This would be handy if we just posted engine size and trans, and perhaps model code. :)

3.5 5sp auto TJ

11.2 to 11.8.. city.

AS a comparoson for you guys:
NM Pajero Auto 3.5l V6

Hyway running 13 - 14l/100kms
City driving 17 - 18l/100kms
off road - upto 33l/100kms lol (isn't that a joke!)

your magnas are doing well!

I'm in Perth

city driving (driving like a granny) - 9.5L/100km
city driving (wen my right foot feels heavy) - 11.5 to 12.5L/100km


Hwy driving - probably bout 7L/100km (cant really rememba)

My last tank was 12 per 100.. but I average around 11 to 13 normally. My worst would be around 15/100.. and that was absolute **** house. I have a pretty heavy foot . I work about 2 km from my house and there's a lot of short trips to the shops and peoples places. At work I sometimes have to make deliveries when it's busy and we don't have enough drivers out so I think I get pretty good figures.

TL 3.5L 5 SP AUTO
on a trip from w'bool to melb, can easily achieve 8.3l/per 100ks average (trip computer), normal to hard driving.
city.ie melb: btw 10 to 11.5 average

KR 3.0L 4 SP AUTO
anywhere from 8.5 to 11.5 (calculation)

2003 vyss driving like a nana 14-15/100km

'98 Auto 3ltr TF

$50 Tank gets me 500km with City Driving during the day and P plater driving at night.

TJ VR-X Manual
Around town - average 11L/100k
All highway - average 8.5L/100k
Mixture of both - average 9.8L/100k

70Litres at $1.159 PULP = small mortgage

2002 tj exec, i average around 11-13. Sometimes up to 15 at worst.
Thats with alot of short trips stopping and going at traffic lights etc
Best ever fuel economy was around 9 L/100 KM on a country drive, I ve noticed the car loves the open road.

I don't think Magnas are that bad economy wise, drove a Holden Crewman Cross8 the other night - 5.7l automatic AWD - this sucker uses 22 l/100km ouch!!!

my TE is sucking in fuel at about 12L/100km, mix of city and freeway driving.

Soundz bout rite.... just thought i'd put in my 5c worth :P

10-12 city driving 7-9 country, TJ Sports Manual, best i have ever got was going to Brissie from Byron Bay..6.7

Think my average atm is about 10.1 to 100 kms. Tank gets me around 500-560 kms.
Thats giving it stick everynow and then and sorta countryish driving.

2002 VRX Manual. Just me in the car.

300 kms, fuel reading shows half way, somehow get a feeling the fuel reading stick dips faster in the last quarter of the feul gauge.

Usually 11-12L/100km on my 3.0 with a mix of city and highway driving. Shell Optimax makes no difference.

I fill my tank to the top and get 550kms city and going at it hard around 480-500km, all highway then i get just over 700km per tank


P.S. if anyone knows my driving style most tanks im struggling for the 500

Know exactly what you mean. TJ auto, uses about 11.5L/100KM, mostly city driving. I'm not exactly the lightest foot on the roads either... I'm just not a accelerator/brake person - prefer to cruise at 70 in an 80 zone (in the left lane) rather then speed up at 90 to the lights and brake hard... oh and being on my Ps, I tend to stick to the speed limits generally too, and I definately don't slow down around roundabouts that much - guilty of going in the shortest distance around it.

TP Wagon, Auto.

I've seen 650km out of 74 litres, averaged 500-550, worst 300, with a broken injector, split airbox line...
This is a mixture of city/country and pizza delivery.
