I was reading the "Things you hate about your lancer" thread and noticed a lot of people mentioning fuel economy. I thought maybe you could list your fuel average, what model, motor and style you have and see if others have similar readings to you. Me first.
Model: 09 Sportback VRX
Motor: 2.4L
Gearbox: Manual
Average Fuel Econ: 7.4 - 8.1
Best ever: 6.7

I dont know how you work yours out but the sound really poor. If i fill my tank 60litre of v-power shell, i get 220mile. from a 2l turbo its about 17mpg here.

I used a calculator on the net and we get about 40mpg out of our NA lancers.... In Australia, we measure in kilometres and litres so not the same as you guys....

Suspected reason why the car is good on fuel - I don't drive it, my wife does!
At one stage on the weekend with not quite a full tank it was telling us that there was 880km to empty. Not quite, but we get at least 650-700 regularly with mostly city driving.

I've been tracking my fuel economy since I bought my RA ...
The fuel pic here below changes as I enter new data, automatically.!
So I stuck it down the bottom here for my Sig ... It varies week-to-week.!

Currently have only driven 300km. Funny thing was the best fuel economy was when I drove the car from the dealership back to my house!

Probably because I have so much crap in my boot, and also i have the full sized spare wheel (steelie) and i'm a bit of a lead foot at times
Best ever: 6.3
That was from Philip Island back to Melbourne on cruise at 102km/h and mainly highway.
Seems unusually high though, even when my car has done 7000+km already this year

2009 Platinum CVT 2.0, no mudguards
10.5 litres/100 km average (22.325 U.S. mpg), which is 5 days to work with some traffic, with at least 1 day cruise to the city. I'm also a bit of a lead foot sometimes. At least it does show similar figures to the EPA ratings on the American counterpart.
It can do an indicated 6.67 litres/100 km (~ 35 U.S. mpg) cruising at 100 km/h, but I have yet to calculate a Melbourne-Sydney trip.

Wow.? - I don't get 40Mpg.? - I also get around the 17Mpg too.! - Conversion done
-> Here.! <- - Has a chart N all ...
There's heaps of sites, but I used this 1 for converting Klms traveled -> Miles
from this site ... Then U can see the range with the conversion on the right.!

My car clicks over about 500kms when it reaches 1 quarter or a little less remaining, then I fill up....
