If your in a standard EA82 you should get better then 10l per 100km. So with a 55l tank thats 550km to a tank.
Lifted with 27" M/T's and you should still get between 9 to 11 litres per 100km.

Of course it might just be how you drive.. A few years ago I used to get 14 to 15L per 100km in my Dual carby Brumby. Now with the same engine in the Leone with the same tyres I get 9.3L
