What are you guys getting for your fuel consumption?

I'm getting about 380km per tank, which sounds bad, but then I looked it up and the car has a 40L tank.

Hence,
380km/3.8 = 40L/3.8
= 10.5L/100km.

Which is actually still bad, its a 1.6L Corolla. This sounds like something a Commodore would do. Aren't they meant to be super fuel efficient or something? LOL.

So, what are you guys out there getting in real world, compared to the advertised fuel rating? :)

My Pajero goes like 550-650km on 90L of fuel >.<

Works out around 15L/100km

High price to pay for lots of room in the car...

What's the turbo?
PM'd. Thankfully it's not a daily driver :)

Best ever fuel economy in the turbo was 9.2L/100km with close to no throttle and smooth traffic flow along Victoria Rd. More likely than not I will be between 12L/100km and 16L/100km. If I have been feeling enthusiastic it can go upto 30L/100km.

On another note, I took this photo a couple weeks back.

I get roughly 400-430k's to a 40L tank.

It keeps up with my father's 2005 SP23 at least, which is over a decade newer.
