How much do u get out of a full tank?

[Wanju]

helloo...

I'm just wondering how much people get out of a full tank on the sportivo... I've heard from a few ppl now that they get over 700kms!!!!!! Since I got my car i've filled up twice and the first time i managed to just get over 400km's (I must say I pushed it quite a bit) and the second time about 450km's (I thought I was driving conservatively and hit lift maybe only 8 times or so?)

I'm sure this topic has been brought up before... but pleease can you help me... Is there something wrong with my car? or are 700kms + just rumours...

Thanks...

i don't drive a stivo but i doubt it'll get 700km. driving conservatively means keeping the rev under 3500rpm. hitting lift 'only' 8 times in one tank isn't being conservative mate. i wonder how you drove on the previous tank if u say u drove quite hard. thats my 2 cents.

My stivo is sitting outside with 675km on it, and probably 10 litres left in the tank.

80% country, but I do a lot of over-taking at full throttle.

u prob can try ur absolute best to push 700 out of a tank but u'd be driving on freeway going @ 100kph for the whole tank.. i with city driving you can get 700, i drive an auto corolla and i get 500 out of a tank.. max 550 once but really 700++ is bit too much? unless someone wanna prove me wrong

[daviboy]

i got a Sportivo and the most i got was 550kms, that was giving it and some of it was Highway driving.

What he said. If you're doing city driving you're not going to hit 700km. Over taking at full throttle uses less fuel than having to propel the car to start moving from still motion.

Basically, like Kenneth said, unless you're driving 100kph (or 80kph, results show on average you get the most km out of travelling at this speed) over a long duaration, you're not going to get 700+. Use the functions on your trip computer and you can see how many liter's you're using per 100km.

So best thing to do is, don't thrash your car if you're really fuel conscious.

I get about 350km max now. thats ct driving not free way.

waw to be honest thats fuel guzzling.. u drive a corolla?

[Suprathai]

He drives an auto corolla..............with a TRD supercharger bolted on to it!!

I dunno how you guys work it out but lately I'm getting about 410kms per half tank, which for me translates to roughly 7.6L/100km.

I drive on the freeway most of the time, its good to get good fuel economy, but then again I'm also paying about $40 a week in toll expenses.

now where have I put my big stick and the link to the search button..... <_<

Its no myth. Just depends on driving style and conditions, I wouldn't be worried about something being wrong. Once you get used to it and use the some fuel saving driving you'll be able to extend the tank. Also, due to the short gearing you use a lot more fuel doing 110kph instead of 100kph. Same goes for most other speeds, if you speed you use more fuel for very little time saving.

[kolourhero]

[JAZE55]

im getting around 570-600km per tank, with 98RON. thats with freeway driving tho.

700km???

[Bee]

i filled my tank up yesterday and it had just clicked over to 600km...

[Sportivo Jess]

I use 98oct and get about 560kms out of a tank - city driving - i could imagine tha tyou could pull 700 if you were on a road trip.

[Rolla_Boy]

600km+ on highway to melbourne, maybe even close to 650

[mrs.sportivo]

550km on 98oct, city driving but. i reckon 700km is do-able really depends on the way u drive but. BTW WHAT PETROL (shell, bp, caltex..) DO U GUYS USE !

[MT]

wow this again???

I drive til the red light comes on, and its usually at 550 - 650km.

And I am not a very conservative driver, that counts even when I do the hillclimb.

So 700km a tank is no where near impossible, if u think that then u must drive at max revs constantly <_<

??? When the light comes on there is about 10 - 15 lts left in the tank... and no matter who is driving that will get u at least 100 - 150km
