SG reported 7.2 l/100 Km for the tank. The first half was outstanding, around 5.5 l/100 Km on the trip back from Moncton. Local city driving here in Halifax just kept driving the numbers up and up. Extended highway driving at about 103 KPH should give really great mileage.

Used 20l from Jerry Can first. Topped up to the very top, let foam die down, topped up again almost to the point of dripping out of filler neck. SG reported average 6.6 l/100Km for this tank. Economy seemed to improve when I brought tire air pressure up to what it should have been.

Kept SG cal at -11.5%. SG reported 7.8l/100Km. I've discovered that 100 to 103 kph still turns in pretty good economy for the drive to/from work. Grabbed 20l in a Diesel can for storage.

Left SG Calibration at -11.5%. Crap overall fuel economy for this tank. A lot of city driving I guess. SG reported 9.0 l/100Km for the tank. Agrees with Fuelly. Looks like -11.5% is a good calibration for this car.

Left SG calibration at -11.5%. Weird tank. First half was great - almost 6.0 l/100Km and then no matter how I drove it just kept increasing up and up and ended at 6.8. Low Fuel warning light came on at about 50 Km left in tank by the SG. Filled up at 17.5 Km left.

Crappy fuel economy this tank. Reset SG to -11.7 after fill up. I probably could have left it at -11.5.

Left SG as it was with -11.5% calibration. SG reported 7.1 l/100Km for the tank. Fuelly calculates tank as 7.3 l/100 Km. Man does this tank suck.

SG readings: 78.6 Km left in tank, 6.9 l/100Km. Installed new winter tires at 18,210 Km or 379 Km ago. Reset SG calibration to -11.5%. It was set to -11.9 which looks like it is reporting a touch low (6.9 displayed vs. 7.0 calculated). It looks like -11.5% is a keeper setting.

Scan Gauge was set at -11.5% and reported 7.1 l/100Km for the tank. Low fuel light came on at SG reporting 57 Km left in tank. Based on 55 l / tank, this works out to 55.3 Km at 7.1 l/100Km. This is pretty darn close. Reset SG to -11.7% for this fill up.
