Or go for a decent run up the Hume and back and see what it comes back to. I have never had mine drink that much. Most of my driving is Hwy. I recently did a return run to Swan Hill. Sat her on 101km/h all the way. It was a 600K round trip. The trip computer returned a 10.4l/100KM. I pit 62L in her for 600K travelled. Fairly good I rekon. I am plaing on the Syntetic oil change at the 15,000km service (in 5000km). Hopefully that will get it up to around 650k per tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly city driving in peak hour. never get it into 5th gearWhen I do get out on the highway it does drop heaps, but it is all about averages and the more k's you have the harder it is to change it downward. Who cares I didnt buy it for its fuel economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MKeily Guests Posted 10/07/03 12:46 PM Share Posted 10/07/03 12:46 PM After 10,000ks I am averaging 15litres per 100k on the trip computer. Nearly all of these are city k's in 2-3 gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
