I was testing out how many km's i was getting the last few weeks. The last fill up i lasted 590-600km and my low fuel light was blinking on this the same day till i got to the fuel station. Was using Caltex Vortex 98 i think or BP Ultimate. I usually use either.

I have the 1.3L Manaul. But im guessing my heavy 17's effect my fuel economy queit abit anyway haha. Usually i do a mix of Freeway driving and City Driving going to work.

u got that right hahaha!!

BP is the way to go the initial price is more but when u factor how many kms extra u get u make up for it. i find that shell is better than caltex also.

but if u havnt changed ur fuel or anything regarding ur car its most likely the factor ur driving style may have changed if its a big problem learn to hypermile its not always as boring as ppl think besides its fun to learn new driving techniques (im currently tryin to get better with double clutching)
