How are you guys measuring your L/100km? I know most people do it incorrectly that's why I ask.
1997 Prelude - 8L/100km hwy 10L/100km city
1992 Celica GTS - 10L/100km city
1991 Celica GTFour - 14L/100km babying it
2000 Cherokee 4.0 with bad O2 sensor - 14L/100km
I drove a brand new Chevy Avalanche for work and cruising the hwy in Alberta with nothing in it the best it got was 22L/100km, later I had a GMC 3/4ton and it was 24L/100km same driving

Turmoil in Iraq will drive gas prices to record highs over the weekend, predicts “Gas Guru” Dan McTeague.
On his website Tomorrow’s Gas Prices Today, the former Member of Parliament warns that the cost per litre will jump two cents overnight, making gasoline the priciest it’s been since September 2008.
“Volatility around the world is finding a place right here in Toronto with prices now hitting levels we’ve never seen,” McTeague told CTV Toronto, saying prices could climb to nearly $1.43 per litre.

“I don’t really want to say that’s the high water mark, no one really knows,” he said. “But there’s a lot of speculative bets going on right now that prices are going to remain very high, at least through the foreseeable future.”
Roger McKnight, a senior petroleum analyst at En-Pro International, agrees with McTeague’s assessment. He told The Canadian Press that the spike in price is unrelated to North American supply and demand.
McKnight lays the blame on the financial sector being nervous about tensions in the Middle East.
Insurgents have seized several cities in Iraq, including the country’s second-most populous, Mosul. Hundreds have been killed during the siege led by the group the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, sending the country’s oil supply into a state of uncertainty.
Iraq is the second-highest exporter of crude oil in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. OPEC controls 81 per cent of the world’s oil reserves, according to their estimates.
Back in Canada, McTeague said high costs at the pumps will hopefully reduce demand for gasoline, easing prices somewhat.
“I think at some point the prices may climb down, but not a lot,” he said, guessing at most they might dip down around $1.35 per litre over the next few weeks.
“It’s anyone’s guess afterwards. And it really matters what happens in places like Iraq.”

Oil prices go down, gas prices stay the same because they say the gas they are selling now was bought when oil prices were higher and it'll take a few weeks for the pump prices to reflect the lower oil prices.
Mine's at 12.6L/100km all city, 17.5PSI. Used to be better when I had the thinner stock tires and stock boost at around 12.0L/100km.
I drive in sport+manual mode with the alpina flash, shifting at about 3k just to hear my exhaust pop and crackle everywhere I go :P
I drive in the morning at rush hour so it's stop and go traffic all the way from Richmond to dt. The drive home I shift at 4-5k rpms and always step on the gas to hear my exhaust and intake too. Haha I play with the throttle when decelerating just to hear the loud crackle and pop. It crackles at will now and is so awesome

And then two weeks later oil prices go back up, and the price of gas goes up again...
I thought I was the only one to notice, thank you.
On my Fiesta I'm getting 8.1-8.3L/100km around town, 7L/100km highway most recently. US highways have me running at almost 3000RPM going a little over 70mph, in BC I get a lot better highway mileage (~6L/100km) because I'm only going about 95km/h.
@OP on my Miata I had a similar experience where my calculated L/100km was way lower than manufacturer rating for a tank or two. I realized the issue was the pump would click WAAAAYYYY before the tank was actually full so while I did get 420kms out of my last tank and I only filled up 30L afterwards it wasn't necessarily accurate.
I saw a 2006 M5 on Autotrader for $30k. Thought about it before I bought my GTI last week but immediately thought that gas and maintenance had to be another $30k real soon. Is the cost of ownership on an M5 just monsterously expensive?
