Add 10L of driving to the gas light eh? Good to know!
So, my mileage calculations are WAY off, and I'm getting MUCH better mileage than originally anticipated. Exxxxcellent.
I haven't hit the gas light yet... where does it come on exactly? I was under 1/8th of a tank (as reported by the gauge) and it never came on today, but I threw 10 bucks in it at lunch to be sure.

Yes but we are talking about a real city not Sudbury.
In winter 250km until the light comes on is a regular occurance. I've only gone over 500km/tamk once. For the days I work in Hamilton I can get three round trips in (450km) total, lots of stop and go.
I get about 700 km highway...I love my car :D

I just filled up from fuel light today. Was on it for a bit too, probably 20 km or so? Filled up my tank, and it took 34L, and that was right up to the neck.

I usually do around 80km after the fuel light comes on if the gas price is too high until price drops a bit.
fuel light comes on at around 440-480km usually that is including uptown/404/DVP/downtown driving in both winter and summer (winter is closer to 440 and summer is closer to 480)
I know I can do 650+ km with 90%+ highway driving (not rush hours) with about 115-120km/h coz i did it many times before.
and btw, ppl told me that Manual tranny has way better gas mileage compared to automatic tranny.. dunno if that's true but i agree with it.
