Hi all,I seem to be getting about 400kms out of a tank, not sure how many litres it is but not sure if that's normal at not.I'm from Australia, Melbourne if that helps and I do a lot of city driving.
Sounds a bit low, but how many litres are you getting in at refill? Are you waiting until the light comes on?
You'd have the 53 litre tank I would say,but if your running until just before empty or until the light comes on,I would have to agree with Dazz seems very low to me,being a petrol would have thought you would have gotten at least 600 to 650.mind you it would also depend on your driving style too

How many litres are you putting in to get the 400km? That might give us a better idea. For example, if you add 30 litres and then get 400km, then you are getting 7.5 l/100km, which probably isn't too bad around a city. Is your car auto or manual?
Your SR has the 2.0 GDI? My Cerato has the same engine, and I'm getting around 9.1LHK. I live in a rather hilly area, and do mostly short trips: school and shopping runs. So, 11LHK sounds a little high. How many Ks on the odometer?

How many Ks on the odometer?Yup the 2.0 GDI, got 4000kms on the odometer.How accurate are the readings from petrol consumption and petrol used on the display gauge.Not sure, maybe something's up with my car.Also what is "1LHK"?

Yes, sorry, that's Litres per Hundred Kilometres.I haven't compared the readings on the gauge with the amount of fuel used to fill the tank. Something to do...At 4000K, the engine on my car still felt tight, so you may see an improvement in power and economy.

This means after 400Km driving you would have only about 10 litres left in the tank. That is when we usually fill up the petrol. Based on our driving habits we have an average tank range of 426km, after 23 refills. So, 400km for the 2.0L petrol engine is not that bad.
