I'm getting me a k&n filter asap... then we'll see about the steeda intake :D

I Can't Belive I Didn't Beat My Own Record... - NOS2Go4Me - 11-12-2005

I average 360KMs to half tank indicated... not bad for intake/exhaust, and it'll go back up with the 50% UDP :D

Way to go man, another example of why the Focus just makes sense :)

Ok, do I have a lead foot or what?! Is it the fact I have an automatic? New, not fully broken in engine? (any other excuses possible?) Why am I not getting more than 400km to a tank?! And I average around 300 with city use.

I would say heavy foot.

I can drive to Toronto and get 525 Km tank before the light comes on driving 130-150Km/hr

I drive 120Km/hr, I can get over 100km's more. :o

Damnit. Well I do move the car alot each day. I just started one class per day a few days ago, so it shouldn't be like before when I had two classes per day, but the car doesn't get continuous use, which usually equals better mileage. Does that still justify it though?

i have an automatic, thats an automatic SPI up there with 760km.

How many km you got on your car?

I Can't Belive I Didn't Beat My Own Record... - mo_focus - 11-12-2005

dammm, i cant even get 400 out of mine. I have race headers, borla exhaust and K&N filter. that is city driving.

No tach? What is it an automatic SPI or one of those Quebec only stripped down ZX3's with a SPI?

I can't even get that far a full tank (city only)........

I Can't Belive I Didn't Beat My Own Record... - Crazirich - 11-26-2005

is this from your i have nothing better to do today so I'm gonna go to windsor and back today trip?

i got 543 km last tank, not bad for cold weather and more cubic inches than most of you.... and my driving isn't always the light and fluffy 100km/hr (as pictured) that kevin does... i average 125-135 usually.

you got to love the SPI, I myself never get over 600km per tank. Average slightly over 500km.

wondering whats the kmpl on the new 2.0L durtech.

I Can't Belive I Didn't Beat My Own Record... - Frost__2001 - 11-26-2005

I'm finding I'm getting just over 600 kms to a tank, and I have a 5 speed Zetec and no speed controls, but then again I'm doing 75% of all my driving on the highway using mid grade gas.

I Can't Belive I Didn't Beat My Own Record... - SLIP STREAM SVT - 11-28-2005

to all those who get great gas milage, are you mostly on the freeway? i find it impossible to get more than 500km to the tank in "ALL" downtown toronto driving. especially with all these newly added traffic lights and crosswalks, we gotta be stoping like every 1-2 mins of driving.

I Can't Belive I Didn't Beat My Own Record... - NOS2Go4Me - 11-28-2005

360KMs to half a tank this weekend. That's the best out of our trip to Toronto and back (the trip back was the best for mileage).

The only time I ever saw that many kilometres at half a tank of gas is when I forgot to reset the trip odometer after the first tank of gas. :( :lol:

All hail the worst gas mileage king!

^^But your car sounds sweet... I'd sacrifice a chunk of mileage to haul ass like that :D
