The faster you go above that, the worse your gas milage will be.
The numbers you see on comercials are for the posted speed limit, or just below that. And if it's an American comercial, it will be 55/MPH......or just over 90KM/hr.

After that, fill the car up again, and drive the way you usualy do. See what the difff in overall KM's is.
ie....just the other day I filled up with 39L......totals clicks I did was 514Km.....and I didn't really try to drive reservedly either.

on the trip back from Albarta I filled up once in albarta once in Saskatawan once in manitoba and twice in Onatrio ....
ok thats 33 liters a fill up (didn't let it get 2 low) and I was close to empty when I got to my house...
journey is exactly 3648 KM so thats
165 liters for the trip
so thats 4.52 L/100KM's
does that sound right to you ? am I missing something?

how much gas do you have left when the low gas light turns on? cuz i never let it get there cuz i always chicken out, and the last couple of runs i've had 550+ km on there, i just didn't want to run out of gas so i've ended up filling up.....

when the light comes on i heard we get about 60 km to go before it's really out. at first the light comes on and off, then it stays on...and that's when i get worry. the most i have filled was 41/L, so 4 litres left before it goes empty. at that point i had about 515km.....so what's my km per litre here?
