G'day mate, i have a TJ sports and if i dont go hard on the car i can get around 10L/100km which is about 650km of a tank, that is also on the freeway for about 90% of it, then city driven.

On average, with me caining the ralliart a fair bit, i usually get a minimum of 400km's with about an eighth of a tank left eh...

highway runs easy 650 for sure

I was lucky to get to 500 in mine, averaged about $80 a week and 400k's a tank.
but then again i do have my licence suspended at the moment =) haha

My TJ VR-X 3.5 5sp auto averages 11.0 to 11.5 city driving.
About 9.0 on the highway.

My TH Advance 3.5 with 4sp auto got 10.3 to 10.8 city, 8.5 to 9.0 hwy.

Go figure.

I generally get 10.3-10.5L/100Km in my TH 3.5 auto. Trip computer says 630-640km per tank but I usually only push it to about 600. That's doing mostly suburban driving (somewhere between city and highway.) On the highway I could probably do near 700.

I get about 11.5-12/100km around the city. It depends how much driving you do on freeways, pure stop start driving you'ld be lucky to keep it under 14L/100km.

I dont know if my trip computer is wrong or what.
I have a TJ.
As i usually get to bout 450 kms done per tank (10L/100KM)
and always at the end when it is just empty it still says it has 180km left in the tank.
So its saying there is still abit left in the tank even thou the reading on the dash says nearly empty.
Is this right ?

i had 4 days up in nelson bay - drove from hornsby - up there i averaged 8.7 - drove around up there a fair bit and found a few nice dirt roads, ended up getting only 620km

around here im only getting 12-13l per 100 - and i dont really give it "that" much
still - better fuel economy than the gen3 :D
