Ahem.........is that the justy or your turbo'd Focus. Because if that's the Focus you need to stop being such an old fart with the pedal and "Drop the hammer"! :lol:

Focus of course, I love turbos :D

the 600 is going from Ottawa to Toronto. Using 10psi of boost once in a while to 'wake me up' ;) :D :D

400 in the city is mostly seeing 5-6psi.

BEFORE Turbo, the best I got was 525 from Ottawa to Toronto. The tune must have really helped my MPG.

EDIT: 94 octane.

On highway trips setting cruise between 120-130kph I usually manage about 450kms

Same thing but set at just under 170kph I can still get over 400kms

It the around town driving that screws me over, I'll usually get around 350-400kms

The thing that really annoys me about it is that I got better mileage with my old 96 V6 MTX Contour. Smaller tank, and I'd get close to 600kms on a tank on the highway, over 400kms in the city.

Anything that opens the IMRC will drop me to Zetec or worse fuel usage.

If I stay out of the happy juice, I can get 450KMs around town before the light comes on. Normally in the winter here it's 300-320Kms.

On the highway, I'm pretty damn close to CraziKev and that was before the 50% UDP. Time will tell as to how we'll do in the summer.

I get 400k on a tank, fuel economy changed when I got my t-body. On the hwy I get 600k if I stay around 110. I don't really care about fuel economy, that will go out the door if I get forced induction (excluding the PW kit).

I found that if you pay attention to the shift light you'll get the most out of your tank. Also when starting off from a dead stop be easy on the pedal cause most of your fuel is used getting the car moving. With that said I average 400-450 in the city and that is mixed driving. 650ish is my best on the hwy and that's with a loaded car and a CEL for something.


for every $10 of gas I put in I'll get 100-125km from it in the city. If I go on a road trip this summer I'll fill the tank up along with a jerry can drive it until the gas is all gone. See how much I can drive with the gas light on.

i have an svtf, and i get around 450km til the light goes on, but if i take it really easy i get around 525km til light comes on, this is all during the winter months and mixed city/hwy driving. i hope it improves during the summer, but i doubt it because when the summer tires are on, so is my lead foot. anyways, i was also wondering what other SVTF's get in terms of km's til the light comes on?

I used to get around 300ish (and maybe a few times up to 400) but since i got the new updated fuel pump, I've been getting 450-550km per tank and i'm doing mixed city/highway. (with light on for a bit, needle is just around empty line)

Oh, this in a 2001 ZX3 with a Diablo chip, a cone filter and exhaust..... with regular gas.
