Tell us your specs/economy...

OK, I was seriously thinking of buying a 1.8 GDi (2WD) wagon, based on the fact that a friend got about 400km on less than 1/2 a tank (64l tank I think)... All the car dealers claim how economical they are - an 800km trip was claimed on one tank before the fuel light came on...

So I was thinking lets list up what people get... To be beneficial I suggest the format below to allow easy comparison.

Your Country
Year
Engine variant (eg 1.8 GDi, 2.0 6 cyl 2.4 turbo)
Transmission - man or tippy
2WD or 4WD
Fuel used (eg 91/96/98)
Approx km/tank
Approx volume per fill
Calculated economy (either l/100km or km/l or mpg)

Anything elso you think might clarify - eg modifications, your driving style etc etc

It'll be interesting to see what the norm is...
