I live in India and over here the quality of petrol is not as good as what you guys might be used to but I still average 10-11km to the liter in the city and about 13km/l on the highway and this is on normal unleaded petrol none of that super/premium stuff.

LOL, exactly. Guess I could have worded that a little better. I got about 360 miles out of that tank. Gas light was on but I don't remember exactly how many gallons it took to fill.

I'm planning to do that first oil change this weekend, ~tc~.

edited: mistyped 260 meant 360.

It's horrible I can only average a speed of about 15-20mph even with the occasional acceleration required to overtake nuts in the fast lane (no lane discipline here) people here are taught how to drive or ride a bike and that's it they get a license they have no clue how to "use" the road or to share it with others :P anyway apart from that we have speedbreakers so high they scrape my chassis unless I crawl over them and the roads are spotted with pot holes and various other obstacles that one has to keep looking out for among which are other motorist driving down the wrong side of the road so you can never really relax in the slow lane, people trying to cross the road since though there are zebra crossings everyone else doesnt bother stopping before them so pedestrians just cross the road wherever the feel like, then there are also poorly maintained buses that block you ought and then make it hard for you to gauge whats ahead of them and when they are breaking since they have no tail lights. Oh and the airconditioning is constantly on while I'm forced do this erratic driving I trust you know it's HOT here. :D

Wow I only get 500km per tank of Shell 87. I am going to give Vpower a try.

Yesterday's drive netted just over 31 MPG (309.2 miles, 9.9 gallons). Tank before that (which included a 20-minute 100 MPH+ run) gave just over 26 MPG.
