I usually get about 450 - 470 kms per full tank, my dc5r is daily driven to and from work, but it's only a 10-15 minute trip with minimal traffic on Windsor Rd. You're not always fangin' it everywhere you go are you? =P

Around 400 and my light comes on.

On E85 I get no more then 380 before light comes on...on pump I was getting 480 on average with my foot like a lead ..got 520 once driving normal

that is TERRIBLE

20 litres per 100 kilometres?

you have a serious problem with your car (likely)

or you have a very very bad driving style (unlikely)

or you have a 5.7l v8 in your car (impossible)

Im confussed. I though letting it warm up at idle is better then just driving it?? I wait untill my oil temp is at least 65 degrees before i drive. And i still go slow untill it hit 80 degrees

no, you are misinformed (maybe your grandpa used to warm up his old car?)

I though letting it warm up at idle is better then just driving it??

in a fuel injected car made in the 1990's?

it is pointless and damages your car/environment more than starting your car and driving it normally...

the amount of time it takes to put your seat belt on and check your mirrors is sufficient for the car to be ready to drive.

sitting at idle when the engine is cold is very bad for the engine...

I wait untill my oil temp is at least 65 degrees before i drive. And i still go slow untill it hit 80 degrees

you really should stop doing this.

But alot of new car's have sensor lights that stay on until its warmed up before you drive????

The mazda 3 does and a couple other ive seen. Im very confussed
