Yeah, and if the computer says 7.7L/100km, it actually means 8.7L/100km.....
The best i've got so far after my first oil change was 6.8L/100km (not based on the overly optimistic computer). I am trying really hard on this tank and it looks like I will be getting 6.5L/100km.....
You should get better gas mileage after the first oil change, and should see a bit more after the third.
Ahh, that is something to look forward to.
Have been pretty surprised with all the gas mileage posted all over....been wondering if a there's a leak in my gas tank.

right now i only have 380 km on the car (yes i don't drive it much) and its a little tab under half a tank. Avg. reading on trip comp is 6.0L/100km. I don't think its accurate at all.
Just did my first oil change a few days ago (Castrol GTX 0W-20 SAE). Mileage has gone from bad to worst! Now getting 8.8 Ltrs/l00 Kms.......guess it must be because the A/C is on continuously due to the HOT& sunny weather in YVR.
I don't really know how you guys are getting 5.8 Ltrs/100 Km (or better)??? Are you coasting 95% of the time???
I have so far driven 510 km on my first tank and the light is not on yet. I will report back tomorrow night probably when and if I need to get gas.
beng, how do u drive? is yours a manual transmission? If you're getting 8.8L/100km, do u rev to 4000rpm for every shift. I find it it is easy to overrev in the manual trans since the pedal is so light.

Mine is an auto and I am light footed. Easy on the gas, but keep the A/C on 100% nowadays because of the heat!
AC is a huge toll on fuel efficiency. If you turn ur AC off and let ur windows hang, then ur gas mileage will be in the low 7s. try that for a change!!

Yes, I was in fact getting between 7.5 to 7.8 before the weather got awfully hot.
On a long drive to Whistler and back, the gas mileage was down to 6.5 Ltrs/100 Km.
Topped off my gas tank in Blaine, Wa. before heading home.
By the time I arrived, the trip computer was showing 6.4 Ltrs./100 Kms. Had the A/C on all the time; best reading so far.
