Do you have to use the Monash freeway?

Usually Trent and Scotty shoot me down for this because they have nothing better to do but herer goes...

I get 640kms city driving and over 800km highway from one tank (80L) that's from the ute, the sedan gets 550km from 68L city driving, havn't done much highway so I don't know.

What if I want to agree with you though?

I average about 12l/100kms which for 68 litres would be about 570kms.

Sorry big fella, didn't mean to startle you!

Can concur on the highway figures, but definately not the city driving you pansy. Don't you know what the accelerator pedal is there for?

I take it the sedan consumption is on the XT though.

Yes the sedan is for the XT which uses MORE than the XR! I don't baby the XR, it must be my shift pattern and the fact I almost never slow down for corners. I generally belt it to the speed limit in 1st and drop straight over to 4th or third and cruise, and try not to slow down on corners and change lanes around other cars. I give the XT a hard time also just because it is so damn slow, but once again I tend to drive long trips in Brisbane at constant speed (eg70km) with out and slow down.

Hi All

On a criuse last weekend with the FPV and XR Club up past brisbane to Caboulture from the Gold Coast then out to Kilcoy, around to the Wyvenhoe dam for lunch before returning to the Gold Coast via Ipswich the new 'phoon returned an average of 12.9 litres per hundred km. We covered the best part of 400 km and according to the DTE averaged 73km/hr.

Now before anyone jumps up and says the DTE is never accurate, I test my fuel consumpyion each and every time I refuel (yes I am anal retentive) and it's very close to spot on.

This run was a mix of sub 100km cruising (stuck behind Sunday drivers) and spirited driving whilst safely overtaking and through the twisties.

I'm more than happy with this type of economy as I'm sure it will only get better with age. I have no doubt the 6speed auto is responsible for the improved economy. The 4speed auto in my XR6T used to give 14.3 L/100km and my driving style hasn't really changed.

The Typhoon now has 3,500km on it and is starting to loosen up nicely. It goes in for it's first service Tomorrow so hopefully all the little issues will be addressed and we'll be ready for the up coming skidpan day.

Cheers

Big AL
