On a good week when I am not too heavy with the right foot I can easily get 400k before the light comes on. I have a 2002 ZX5 with 70,000Kms.

depends what kind of driving you're doing. I've been able to get upwards of 650km/tank driving for 7 hours on the highway...
But I also get only about 350/tank in the city before needing a refueling.

I got a 2000 Zx3 manual and if I hit 300km it's a miracle!

That's around my average. 300-400 km's a tank. I've got an auto tho...
When I drive on the highway i've seen 400km's to a half a tank before!
I've got an 05 zx5 as well.
It's the winter, wait till summer and you'll see those numbers rise. The cat takes a while to heat up in the winter, so the milage will be lower than average.

anything over 400km on city driving is probably the best your gonna get. I'm only gettin about 350km, and thats only because I've been driving more in a cruising mode rather that nascar mode...

With an ST I get 450 to a tank on mixed driving, 550-575 highway if I set the cruise at 105.
It really depends - if you drive like a maniac it sucks back pretty good.

Yeah, that I do notice on the highway, gotta keep it under 110km/h otherwise your highway mileage is the pits. Wonder if putting in the CAI & exhaust will help that? :unsure:

Fuel Economy! - meford4u - 03-08-2006
Ha, I got you guys beat. Less than 250km per tank. Of super.
And not the truck. that is the Focus' gas mileage.

hahahahahHAHAHAH
HAHAHAHAH AH AH muhauhhauhahauhahahahhaahaha
Crazikev laughs in the face of gas :P
400 and less on a tank- once
less than 500 - 1/4 of the time in the winter
less than 600 - rest of the winter
more than 600 - 2/4- 3/4 of the summer
more than 700 - twice :P
record- down in the sig :D :P

Similar topic came up on focusbc.net a while ago, so I did my own checking it out. On one tank I got 570km, and that was mixed driving, all lower rpm, driving like a grandma on valium. I burned through a tank in about 300kms a week later. I drove to seattle from abbotsford last week and returned yesterday, I went pretty quickly down in the middle of the night, averaging 85 to 90 mph, and stuck to the 70mph speed limit on the way back yesterday afternoon, still have a 1/4 tank and I have 560 kms on the trip meter so far. Suffice it to say, depends how you drive it. Mods make ahuge difference to, I only have a cai and cat back exhaust.

How many times is this topic going to be discussed?
with that said, 05 7000km's maybe 300 right now, but it idles longer in the winter warming up, Summer was 350-450 depending on how I drive, which is all city for the most part.
