Default Gas Milage on S2K

How many km's do you get to a full tank? Mine seems very low.

I've been getting 300km's for a full tank.

Could that be because I do not have a cat?

I have an MY00 and I get give or take 300km's for a full tank (which is about 39-41L (I fill up when the gas light comes on)). I do 99% city driving, and my daily commute is about 5-6km's one way, and another 5-6km another way. I've noticed that the mileage is GREATLY affected by how much highway driving you do... When I do 20-30% highway driving I get about 350km per tank. 300km's/tank (17.64 MPG (assuming a tank is equal to 40L)) isn't too bad if you're doing 100% city driving like me (EPA's MPG is 17-18 for city driving). It also doesn't help if your commutes are really short since your car uses more fuel until it warms up.

Hope this helps a bit!

**MY00-01's are also known to run a bit rich, which may also be contributing to your gas mileage

that does seem a bit low, unless your hitting the big V from every stop light.

best thing to do is check your mileage versus your fill up and try to go back to the same pump.
