14 to 15 mostly and down to 10 or even lower on flat country highway running. Put your boot in though and you'll be looking at high teens and 20s - good fun though.

I get 16-17l/100km in the city which includes driving harder than the average but not being rediculous. This is about 360-380km for a tank.
About 10l/100km in the country. 600km a tank.

Depend's on a lot of thing's, like city/hwy, and in particular what type of city driving required, every one will have different reading's just like every vehicle will be different, to many varible's to say.

Hey Freddy ... have you recently moved? I see your location is Single ton. But it seems more like Double ton.

http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11305552 There's some good info in there re Magnecore and ICE. Also a good tip on leads from a US site (Rock Auto) that we get parts from heaps cheaper than Ford here. |

About 15l/100 city/hwy mix. Nearly the same as my BA XR8 .
Thirsty buggers for a little 5 litre. |
