    Finally ran a 700km tank

    30.9l/718km.

    I refuse to ever drive that slowly or patiently ever again. Think I saved $10 over a normally driven tank but cost myself over an hour puttering around like a madman.

    I'll stick to being happy enough with ~6.1l. But at least I can say I broke 4.5l once

    Nice going!

    Well, then you would hate driving with me! I just did ~1,100 km on a tank in my old ecomodded Metro. 3.3 L/100 km = 72 mpg US. (All of which was on essentially deserted rural roads with a max speed limit of 80 km/h.)

    But seriously, good to see you know the car is capable of silly good numbers when driven conservatively. I recally you were concerned about your fuel economy not long after you got it.

    I live in the mountains.

    If I drive the same as somebody else, they will get 4.5l and I will get 5.2l.

    It's the nature of the roads here. Lots of flat out uphill in 4th, then kill power for the descent.

    I will always use 10-15% more fuel than somebody in a more flat area without sharp winding mountain highways.
