Petrol Challenge - Will you participate?

my fuel light had only just come on too and I drove about 5km MAX home, It should have made it to the service station the next day but the incline in my driveway... (have only recently moved) is steep and apparently if it all gets sucked into the engine and emptys the tank it cuts out. My car is a bit older than all yours too.. so no flashing warning or anything

mine is generous enough to tell us how many more km's we'll get til we need fuel - it rarely goes below 50km - it starts flashing at 40km i think

i usually get around 6L/100km, think it cost around $50 to fill up after driving 550km. i drive a 2009 lancer. it is ridiculous with the price of petrol these days, even if you have an economical car. we also have a v6 commodore on gas, which does around 12-14L/100km on that. thank goodness otherwise it costs $70-90 to fill with petrol, which is always unsettling lol.

Ok I can NEVER let my car run to empty.... the closest service station is 30kms away and we'd be totally stuffed!
My V8 Ford BA Fairlane G220 will do approx 10-12L/100kms mainly highway/country road driving. It guzzles much more fuel when running around town and if we lived in town we would not own it.
I'm still shocked to see that it's reasonably economical considering it's engine size. It has a display that tells me average fuel consumption and instantaneous fuel consumption and I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, but I have gotten it into the 90's once or twice - that's instantaneous.... not average.

My car insists on the posh petrol. I think it usually costs about $120 to fill the tank. A full tank will take me from here to Sydney and back - so somewhere between 550 and 600 kms.
That's in normal mode. In sports mode I may as well just slice up dolphins....

We have an 06 Outlander that gets 450-500 per tank. I will not put the cost in though, as we pay anywhere from $1.66 - $2.80 a litre (of regular unleaded). I get 20km once the second fuel light comes on (it gives you a quick flash when it's quite low) and once it starts to flash I have about 1km.
