I wish my car was getting that econnomy, I am lucky to get 330-350km on a 32-34ltr fill up on 98ron. Best I've ever had was a 400km 35ltr fill up and that was with angry drive up and down springbrook.

If you cannot get 8l/100km then some of the following applies: constant crawling in heavy traffic,lead foot driving, modified engine/ turbo,or a out of tune situation. I use 95 as per spec and rarely use more than low 8's and can get into mid 7's- and so do many other forumites ( refer previous posts)

For the record when I first got the car I was getting about 300km per tank, it's all about your driving habits.

I only run 98 in my car, it's only a couple dollars more and keeps the engine a lot cleaner.
