I'm located in Vancouver, BC. 387.9KM and look at where the needle is, I've done the first oil change at 6700km.

I thought I was supppose to see better gas mileage after the first oil change?

Oh if it helps, I'm running T1R Test Pipe, T1R B-Pipe and Spoon N1. Also doing around 60-65% highway and the rest city driving. DARN IT, gas prices so ridiculously high!

They are going by kilometers, so it would be around like...what? 200 miles or so?

Thats about 240 miles meaning you will probably get over 300 mpg, which is equivalent to 30 mpg or 48 kpg. That's what they rate it at isn't it?

Mpg

That's where I hit the 250 mile mark. So that looks about right.

I don't get it. Why are you discussing MPG by looking at a pic of
the gas gauge???

I got 550 km or so out of my 1st tank.
Your "mods" are sucking up the fuel.

Because like many people now-a-days, the OP uses the trip meter to check his MPG. He's showing us how many kilometers he's gone since last fill-up and where his current fuel consumption is now. Going by that we can get a rough estimate of how his car is doing. Which, after doing some conversions, seems to be about average.

Here's another data point along this line. No idea what it is a kilometers. This was in US miles. I filled it 10min later and it took 10.38 gal and 48.1mpg
Figure I had at least 50 more miles till fumes.

1. I'm pretty sure I can drive, jsut not as good as you guys to get REALLY good gas mileage.

2. It clicks at 31 - 32 liters and I usually try to pump it to 34 - 35L

3. 5 speed

upon my conclusion, you can't drive :P. jk. what is your terrain and/or weather? that makes a HUGE difference. i only do 10 mile trips to work, but the difference from a cold day, warm day, and a HOT day is the difference between 34mpg, 40mpg, or my max 47mpg. im still working on 50+ lol

Thats about right.. depending on how you drive and how much you sit in traffic will make a huge difference.

My best tank on the highway was 830kms. My best tank in the city was 600kms, and the worst was 430kms in the city.
