I get anywhere between 400 - 500 kms depending on how hard I drive my balt. I find highway driving is great but in around the city fuel economy is brutal.

i dont know man. i think that might be low. i was getting 32 mpg, thats close to 400miles per tank.
(note it was always 93octane, and i was driving like a normal person.. plus it was dyno tuned)
stock i got 24.5mpg, wich is like 300 miles per tank
km is a smaller unit of measure, so your number should be higher.

I get roughly +/- 450 km/tank city and if I do a full tank run on the highway +/- 600 km/tank.

yeh, that seems a bit low. have you reset your economy to see if it changes. I know with my 2.0 ss/sc I have to reset the economy every once in a while.

cheers

yeah i reset the milage all the time, but it usually reads around 10L/100km. ill switch it to english units and see my MPG but regargless 180mi to a tank it atrocious imo, IT'S A 4 CYL!

Also the car only has 1500kms on it i dont know if it gets better after or not?
