Drove up to Tobermory this weekend. Managed to get 585km out of the tank before the fuel light came on. That's driving at a speed of no more than 110km/h. I think with the mileage on my car, that's pretty good. Wondering what everybody else are getting?

@ over 300 thousand kms I'd say that is still pretty good. Been a while since I last did a long trip in the Contour but it was usually about that point when I needed to fill up. Mine runs very rich though and I tend not to be able to keep the speed down that far for too long.

534kms before light came on.. and since it always comes on early I might go 600 before I probably really need to fill up :P keep in mind this is 90% highway at 95-100 km/hr coming to/from Port Elgin  hope the car lasts for a couple more years
