10 tanks... There u go: error margin is about lowest possible!

City, 5km trips tend to be 11-14l/100km, Lowest long trip highway has been 8l/100km, 100km/h, winter.

I guess is that average is similar to yours. Btw, I hate the gauge: first quarter is shown used after 80km...

it's at least in part becuase I have a seriously leaky exhaust.

yes. happened to me before, I almost failed the california emission test last year while I was out there cuz that problems caused my car to drag. I was wondering the whole time why did it kept putting out way too much HC, almost beated the number CA allows me to release. took me over 5 months to figure a simple problem out, by then I've already wasted so much $$$$ on gases. if you guys aren't sure if your calipers were shot, then jack it up, put in neutral, and shake the wheel to see if it's too tight or too loose
