Buddy of mine has a evo, 55L tanks get him 350-400km driving easy

Ouch, I can do 1000 km on that and have something left over!
I'm not a fan of wrong wheel drive either, but for what I use the car for, it gets the job done. The suspension and steering on the Mk5 VW's is quite good. The stronger rear antiroll bar that I put on took out a lot of the understeer, it made a huge difference.
If BMW brought in a 4 cylinder diesel 3-series with manual transmission (it exists in Europe) I'd be seriously tempted. The diesel 3-series that they have now is a torque monster, but I don't need it and it's autotragic only, so no thanks.
Ouch, my mate just very recently paid 27k OTD for a fully loaded 2009 DSG lease termination that was driven for one year and 15k km.
wow thats just as bad as my 89 f150 5L.
My GTI, 2.0t gets 600-650km to 55L of 94oct on the apr , it's not bad
Well my car isn't an STI...but I fill up at about 3/4's empty or so. That's about 42-45L of gas to fill up with. I estimate the tank to be at least 60L. Anyway...42-45L of fuel usually gets me 320km's....or less It's no honda civic...that's for damn sure.
I was talking to a dood with one of the newer STI's, though, and he said that some of the newer cars come with a knob where you can alter the AWD settings to help with fuel economy. My 2002 has no such knob.
Ouch, thats kind of a guzzler, is the car moded or is that factory?Well my car isn't an STI...but I fill up at about 3/4's empty or so. That's about 42-45L of gas to fill up with.

Yeah its the doohickie that controlls the throttle response I think, the thingamabober has an intelligent mode (fuel effiecent) Sport mode (fun) and Sport (sharp) for fill every 10 yards or so mode.

I wanted to see your car collection. I still think the R8 is my dream car.
Daily driver is an 01 Grand Prix GT and my summer toy is .............a 1990 LX Mustang....surprise surprise....lol.
98 Grand Prix with a few mods.
2009 Hypermotard 1100
It's more or less stock. I've flashed the CPU to Stage 1 using the COBB access port, and I have a cat-less up-pipe. But that's pretty much it. In most cases, those "mods" aren't even worth mentioning....and they're actually supposed to increase gas mileage.
I drive a 95 Buick Roadmaster Stationwagon with woody trim and rear-folding third row seating, of course.
And with the Corvette LT1 350 V8 engine, a great sleeper car,you put your foot down and the dang thing is off like a rocket. Does great donuts too!
So all you youngsters, don't be givin me the eye at the lights with yer teeny " rice burners" I will eat you alive!!
( No mini-vans for me thanks.....)
I had a 1995 Impala SS. The b-body GM's are great cars, look on ebay for kits to put a 6 speed manual in it...that would be icing on the cake.I drive a 95 Buick Roadmaster Stationwagon with woody trim and rear-folding third row seating, of course.
