Welcome. I would check the catalytic converter. I am averaging about 400kms on 47 liters. My fuel gauge doesn't work so I'm just filling it at about 400. It is about -30 degrees celsius here with the windchill (about -15c without).

Mmhmm that's about what I get. OP is in Illinois (hey, let's grab coffee sometime!) and we use real units of measurement here, though. *tease*

He could just have a lead foot, though. I've found I like to "check if my boost gauge works" more often than I should.

@OP: Do you put premium or regular in it?
 
I forgot to add that I don't have a light foot when it comes to taking off. I know some imperial measurements, but I was taught metric that is why I use it. I know a gallon is about 3.8 liters, a quarter mile is approx 400 meters, etc.
 
Thanks I will check the Converter. My Wife drives the car more than I do. Because Of a vary HEAVY FOOT. I was Clocked at 102MPH in a 55 on Christmas EVE.​

Also because metric makes more sense :th_thumbsup-wink:

In a sense. What happens if after a calculation you are a decimal off? You probably wouldn't even notice. Unless you were using the american way!!!

a decimal off? meaning 10 instead of 100? if you don't notice that you shouldn't be doing calculations. :th_thumbsup-wink:
 
Thought this was relevant...

Just did 150mi on the freeway last night with 92 octane in my GTP. Did a little over 30mpg.

3 E9 and 3 E8 can go unnoticed. I love the fact that everything is in such simple units, and easy to go back and forth, but i hate the fact that sometimes i slip up and lose track of a decimal.
