Managed to average 5.2l/100kms from the Blue Mountains to Sydney yesterday.

That's a little unfair - downhill.

After a holiday in the Blue Mts recently we left Blackheath in the morning and drove down to Sydney before heading north on the Pacific H'way. After the 55km as we entered the M4 the MFD was indicating an average from (cold) start of 2.8L/100km. That downhill was sure a help. By the time we crossed the Hunter R near Newcastle the average had reached 4.1L/100km. That's still exceptional from a petrol Golf.

Mine was down to 4.5 or something from Bathurst to Sydney. It's more the speed limit and the continuous rolling along then the down hill. The Blue mountains aren't that high.

Mine is up there a bit now at 7.5. Thats the since new average at over 25,000km. I'm a bit of a lead foot around town.

Happy Days
