tuono Member 312 Member For: 13y 11m 22d Posted 03/03/11 12:19 AM Share Posted 03/03/11 12:19 AM I took the car for a 1000k drive over the weekend.Very comfortable on a long trip. 500km's each way including the Hume Hwy and averaged 10.4lt per 100km. Bloody good. I then took a very spirited drive up a mountain using 2nd,3rd and 4th in manual mode. What a blast!! Heaps of revs and hard braking. It pulls so hard from corner to corner. The seats need more side support to keep you in place for that sort of driving. And it should have one of those foot stop? things next to the brake pedal to keep you stable too. My SS seats grabbed you heaps more than these and its a lot better, especially on slippery leather. I reset the trip computer stuff to see the best(worst)mpg I could get at the bottom of the mountain. I spotted 28lts per 100k a few times and the average was 24 at the top!! Whats your best(worst) litres per 100km? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njb1987 Member 12 Member For: 13y 10m 26d Posted 03/03/11 02:28 AM Share Posted 03/03/11 02:28 AM I managed 8.9/100kms on my way to Shell Harbour from Canberra in the G6ET. Was pretty happy with that... haven't had it long enough to clock any crazy high numbers, first week I had it I averaged 14.8/100... and I gave it a fair few stabs too. Very happy so far!
