I reckon I have the poorest consumption of all. My Clubman Estate HL with BMW trinky fuel injected gets 115kms to a tank, so must be roughly 20L per 100kms. No leaks so must be the ecu, time for more dyno tuning.

maybe you should try replacing the garden sprinkler you currently have attached to the fuel pump with an actual real life fuel injector!

Do you were sunglasses that look like dollar signs when you drive it around?

Only car I ever had that approached that was my 98 WRX, on the no speed limit NT highways, at better than 200 Kph! And that was still only 18 ltrs per hundred!

Now we are bragging about our worst, during my apprenticeship drove a stupid HT 383 chevy Monaro and a tank would get me from Applecross to Midland ONLY. Think it was 68l tank. approx 45 km?
Had to fill it to get home, price was only 20 or 30 cpl though

Ha, ok, my best - did an economy run with mini club. I had an 850 with bit of a cam, 202 head, good exhaust. Did the whole short shifting, low top speed, coasting into corners etc just for a laugh. No actual stops on the whole drive. We covered somewhere close to 50km, and I was under the minimum sale to top up at the end (2l).

My brothers Landcruiser got 31 L/100km...but it was a methanol fuelled 351 Cleveland V8 race 4x4 (de-tuned to run on pump fuel, 320bhp at the wheels).
