    Fuel tank = 35 liter. It's amazing when the tank indicator blinks and I fill up it only takes up to 24 L!! Especially because I'm used to tank for around 50-55 L. The fuel save on this vehicle is amazing!

    Keep in mind that it start to blink with one bar left and the more empty state is with no bars at all.

    so with a 1 liter on 20 km you get to the gass station every 480km?
    thats not a lot...35 = max 700km.

    Fuel usage varies between 1:18 to 1:20. I usually tank after driving around 500 km. 25 L gives me 500 km. I never drive the car until I ran out of fuel or even close to get to the reserve tank (which is usually around 5 L).

    Update: From day 0 I tank with Shell V-power.

    and you drive mostly highway?
    is that 1:18 when you do a little more city?
    i hoped to get more close to 1:24 highway...
    i read about a guy in the netherlands doing 1:29 with it ( driving 80kmph roads )
