Re: Fuel consumption
Mate!!! I wouldn't want to be stuck behind you doing 68kms/hour on the M5 and M2 LOL 
No wonder your fuel consumption was so low

Re: Fuel consumption
Was up in the Blue Mountains yesterday. A 300km trip in total with only about 30km on a freeway. The rest was the usual mix of stop/start traffic lights and 60km limits through Sydney and then Bells Line of Road once we escaped the city. All up, a 6hr mixed collection of everything that I would have expected to increase fuel consumption, including the Sunday afternoon traffic jams when everyone tries to get back into Sydney at the same time. Filled up on the way out and checked the fuel consumption when I got back. 7.9l/100km! I was amazed. I've not filled up yet to check that the dash reading is correct but I've no reason to think it wouldn't be as it's usually pretty accurate.
I can't figure it out. I can try everything to lower fuel consumption and still get figures up in the 11's and 12's, even on run, or I can just ignore it, thrash it up and down the hills on Bells Line of Road and get under 8. Where's the logic in that? At least I've now got an excuse to spend more time up in the Blue Mountains as the car clearly likes it up there

Re: Fuel consumption
If you drive straight after resetting the meter you'll get high figures . Once a few k's are under your belt the fuel figures drop . I guess its a real Average not a run average like in the BA falcon I drive at work. I did notice that elctronics plays a big part in adapting to all sorts of driving done!

Re: Fuel consumption
Nah, its the lovely Blue Mountains, what can i say.
There is a short cut to bypass all the Sunday traffic on the GWHighway you know. Sorry can't tell you, its the local's secret.

Re: Fuel consumption
The short cut only saves time not watching the car in front of you for around 10k's.
That or you can use bells Line of rd which is longer, but still gets you home earlier, especially on a Sunday afternoon.
