First Gas fill

Just had to fill my tank for the first time today and this is just a preliminary reading of the mileage I got. It will take quite a few fills b4 it levels out, weather changes, etc., and as the engine seats in.

As I don't know how much was in the tank this is as far as I can figure with approx. 70/30 Hwy./City driving. I will give it in Metric and try and convert it later.

500 Kilometres--35.98Litres---13.87 KPL.---7L/100K----39.8 MPG. (Imp.)

With the tank capacity at 41L and the gauge on empty, I est. there was still 5L left or around 70 Kilometres.

The gas reminder light came on at 483K while I was heading into town.

So with real world conditions, even one dirt road, I am pretty happy for a new engine. LX auto.

Awesome..,just wait till the engine breaks in a wee bit more. SUV people must just hate you at the pumps as you spend less time and zip away.
