You probably have another 150Kms on that, till your tank is really empty as we do have a 59L tank.
The RA has a smaller tank Blake.
Is it the 55L tank just like the Evo? I find my tank warning light comes on a lot earlier than expected (nearly as early as the MMCS which warns when range is <50km)... it's when the in dash screen starts lighting up warnings that I get concerned.

Yep, it is 55l. Would have been nicer if we had a larger tank. I was pretty suprised that even after tuning, there wasn't a discernable difference in economy. My old bug eye wagon and jzx100 both had really good gains in economy after tuning... Oh well, it's not as if I bought it to be economical haha
the most annoying thing is the distance to empty on our displays - when you really need it (ie under 50kms) it just blanks out! Tis very boo

we are fascinated by that which can destroy us...

Agreed but then even when it says 50km remaining... I think we still have more than that in the tank. I find it funny that 50km is essentially 15% of the tank and that's not that little.

i get 8.4 l/100km, keeping in mind i have only a 10km trip to work )one way) in 60k zones wth uphill & downhill roads with roundabouts. Best i have had out of her is 8.0 l/100km, thats when i go visit my parents who live about a 40min drive away still all in 60k zones, iam happy with that!!.
My previous car Current shape '07 Corolla used to give me just 10.2 l/100 on my work run, then i put a Supercat, some straight thru muffler and JunBL Twin outlet stainless steel muffler on the rear, it then gave 9.2 l/100km, to me that was still thirsty. So for the extra power from the 2.4 i get better economy

How you got such shocking economy on a Corolla from daily driving is amazing... I get economy like that in my Civic when I drive it a bit agro!

Hey JaCe
It shocked me too at the time, I drive rather sedately as well, i just put it down to the short distance travelled with stop start driving, then i did the exhaust and got a small improvement. I even had toyota check everything out when it went in for a service, but standard answer, no fault found, all ok
Cheers
