Drove to Orange and back today... Majority of the trip @110km/h ( <_< ) but average speed only went up to 51 km/h :blink:

At least the fuel economy dropped below 14L/100km

Its doesnt really mean much, except that those with higher averages do a lot of highway driving. In general the higher the average (once above a certain level) you can be pretty sure the car is leading quite an easy life for the number of k's its done as highway driving is much easier on cars than city driving.

I drive on highways very rarely, and my average is 31kmh which is extremely high for city driving. (Mostly 50,60 and the odd 80 zones, but mostly 60 zones). Other people I know who drive hard get mid 20's. Anyone claiming to be much higher than 30 or so and only doing hard city driving is either totally insane or a liar (most likely a liar...Im half insane and at 31kmh).

To give you some idea, first set of rear tyres needed replacing at 10,000km without a single burnout having been done. Fuel consumption is

~22-24L/100km. (Drops to 7-9L/100km at 100kmh on freeways which is outstanding for a sports car)
