Default Is my car running too rich?
I think my car uses too much gas. every fill up, i put in some where between 38-42 liters, and i get a little more than 300 kms out of that . i only drive in the city. Is this normal? My S has about 3600kms, and it's 5 months old. Thanks

For daily driving I used to get about 9 km/L, sometimes even 10, in the city.
