Yeah thats about right for metro driving with a slightly excited driving style.
I usually end up putting about 50-55l for 400km of spirited driving.
My PCV hose is split though so the car is running a little rich.
Highway driving should yield approx 10km/l fuel economy.

I get 10L/100Km's out of my N/A so I reckon the extra 3L's would make up for the turbo. Looks about right.

i get around 10km/l and thats a fair bit of highway cruising, granny driving, and the occasional back road squirt.
If you have something like a microtech computer installed, then kiss your economy goodbye.

Jeez I've never gotten even close to the end of the 68l tank... the fuel light comes on solid at about 15l to go

I'm getting a pitiful 7km/L with my bitch. Still running on the factory Blitz-chipped 3S-GTE but not for a lot longer though. I want to know if the A'PEXi Power FC will get any more or less economy with a good tune? Right now I shove about 40L down the neck and see about 280km's out of city driving for the result. Ahhh, gone are the days of 570km's per tank (57L) on the ol' 3S-FE...

if your doing the rest of the rav right andy - why not just hang off and get yourself a standalone unit instead of a plugin - much more tunable IMHO than a plug in device or a mod chip

Stu, that idea would probably be a go'er if I didn't already have the Power FC waiting to be tuned, and if I had the appropriate amount of funds for a standalone fuel management unit.
