My "96 coilly with 235/75R15 Goodyear MTR's, standard gearing, extractors 2" exhaust, unifilter and unadjusted speedo does exactly 10L per 100km no matter what. I drive it flat out all the time, rev the tits off it every gear change and drive at 100+ on fway. If I baby it can get heaps more but is too painful for the extra dollars I would save. I only ever drived to E, so is 30L to fill and get 300km's.

when I had my Ex's Zuk with a rebuilt F10a in it (970 cc's or raw powa) I could easily get 500 out of a tank. That truck was stock, with the exception of extractors (rest of the system was factory) even had the factory radio in it ..

90 hardtop with 215 desert duelers, extractors and 2" exhaust I get ~8.5km/litre with BP ultimate. If I put in standard unleaded I get ~7-7.5km/litre.
With an unadjusted speedo that works out to roughly 230-250km on a full tank (holds atleast 38L) but is probably closer to 290-320 proper km's.
I generally change gears around 3800-4000rpm.
I've been keeping records of all petrol stops for the last 2 years. I used to get better mileage on my old carby (8.5km/L to 9.5km/L depending on RON) but since the reco carby was put on its dropped. Think they havent adjusted it properly, since the spark plugs are sooty and exhaust is slowly covering the garage floor in crap as well.

250 max out of 35L. and my tank is near perfect. i might be able to get 300, but i can never bring myself to drive slo in my vit.
usually the average is about 220kms per tank.
and i think my speedo reads 15km/h slower than i am actually travelling. i thought i left the maths back in high school. oh well.

Stock engine. Clocked up 216k. Is burning oil at a rate of about 1-2L per 500km. Probably will need a rebuild or just be replaced sometime soon.
Gets between 10-14L / 100km, depending on conditions.
But that was with the throttle not opening fully. Now it pretty much opens completely. So I'm anticipating much worse fuel consumption.
Running on premium, 95 RON by the way. Timing is factory setting, recently replaced plugs, new oil and fairly new oil filter. New air filter, new oil in the diff, gearbox and transfer. Yet no massive improvement in fuel economy or performance. My engines probably become a pig with age.
Thats running with pretty much stock everything, HT tyres. Pulling a bit of extra weight in the form of towbar, rollbar and bull bar. But then I did some "weight reduction", took out the backseat for added performance. Nah just for extra room.

Mine is a bog stock 91 Vit Hartop.
Best I got was 330 with all freeway on premium fuel.
I hope to go from standard tyres to 30.5 soon and hope the fuel doesn't get worst.
My tank is dintfree, carby need fixing though.
