well man 800 klicks? i get a good avg of about 550 and that right on empty. Best i got was a trip to Kingston from home and that was like 720. Also have to say i think im gonna do most of my posting in here now since those crazy americans keep bein so damned rude. I should have done that from the start cause i know some fellow canucks are gonna be a little more helpful than our neighbours to the south. I dont sound too bitter do i? lol. Im wondering if something is fouled on the car that Im not getting good mileage. bought it with 72 thousand on it in december. now its got 106. new plugs, spark wires, ignition coil, might need some new shocks in the rear, kinda creaky back there. ok ok im rambling time to shush

To throw my 2 cents in haha
I average 600km/tank. My best was from London to Ottawa and then driving around that area for a day, and that was 767km...but i was pretty sure i felt it chug as i pulled up to the pump  ...that was the closest i have been to running out of gas
This car always amazes me, ~120km/h, full trunk of crap, and 2 other people in the car, with the a/c on 75% of the time.
