I do ONLY city driving in heavy los angeles traffic on my stock Y8. I get about 28-29 mpg in the city which equates to about 280-290 miles per tank. That's a fill-up of 9.5-10 gallons. I think that's about 450 kilometers per tank. I also don't use any A/C because i'm too broke to charge it up at the moment. I also don't drive it hard. Meaning, I don't go past 3200 rpm.

Calculate your actual gas mileage (km/L or miles/gal) and post the results.

That seems pretty low to me. You should be getting around 300 miles to a tank with mixed highway and city driving. That's about 480km to a tank.

it also depends on how and where he drives it. Los Angeles traffic is different than the country side where there is only 1 stop light...

try giving it a tune-up. new wires and spark plugs, distributer cap and rotor, fuel filter, air filter and maybe some Lucas fuel injector cleaner.

I agree.

360 km is low. Calculate your gas mileage like someone else said. How much you putting in when you fill up?
