Depends if it's the N/A or TII..

My N/A gets 350 km / 50L in the city and up to 600 km / 50L on the highway.

(I do have a 60L Tank, I fill up when I'm below a quarter but NOT empty.. those are rough figures..)

Damn Canadians and using what the rest of the world uses.

Why don't you use US style. Calling stuff feet and miles is fun.

I wonder if they converted the 1/8 mile movie to Metric?
The 1/6th Kilometer.

Anyways. I usually get 17 to 18 MPG and so far it doesn't use alot of oil.

I usually get around 200-280 kilometres per 50 litres.

That equates to around 125-175 miles per 50 litres.

It does get driven fairly hard though as it's my weekend car.

The 1/6th Kilometer.
News flash: It's 8th Mile, not an 8th of a mile.

Ever been to Murder City?

6 Mile Road, 7 Mile Road, 8 Mile Road, 9 Mile Road - 12 Mile Road is actually a really decent neighborhood.

8 Mile is actually pretty much the border of the serious ghetto and the nicer area.

a bridgeported TII gas milage is going to be measured in number of gallons per mile.

I'm averaging 13-16MPG city in my TII, but I don't drive it easy. Quite the opposite, in fact.

if I am gentle I can get 400km out of a tank of gas.. on the highway, I can get 500... so not TOO awful, but still bad.

Usually 20 MPG (w/ lotsa highway) in '90 NA vert

Used to get 24 when I first got the car, but it stedily declined as I learned the car's limits . . .
