how low are you guys letting the gas go before filling up?

I've seen 300kms on the highway by the time i hit half a tank. mind you i find with the turbo, the most economical driving is with the cruise control. where with an N/A engine i find just using the foot is better on gas.

I think a lot of it has to do with your shift points. I'll be in the city at 65kph in 5th gear.

I turn off my piggy back when i know i'm going to be on the highway, makes a difference, and if i don't feel like stopping often, i cycle the air conditioning on and off, i figure it's good for about .5 to .7 of a liter per 100kms, which adds up considerably. Like 7.2 l/100kms on the highway in a 300+ hp car is awesome.



sorry, i should warn you guys, i do ramble on.



EDIT: was just reading about not revving Direct Injection engines too low as low revs allow for buildup of soot in intake valves. so it looks like 4th gear will be just fine for me in the city.
