i get about 320 miles on a tank in my car. obviously km are less but to fix it i would suggest an oil change, new spark plugs, possibly a fuel injector cleaner. those are cheap solutions, if that doesn't fix it, that sucks.<P>dave

another important item is the fuel filter.

Getting 550kms on fuel tank with 91 octane and on Highway. Everything is stock.. But I suppose when you mod you car, you lose fuel economy. <P>Check how you drive too... Rev too high will use more gas. I change gear at 3k, and when in town, I use my 4th gear instead of the 3rd..<p>[ February 14, 2002: Message edited by: Manach ]
