    12.5 ... and I was really trying. I've been getting an average of 15L for the last 3 tanks

    But I have seen it around on the MFD at 8.8 on the highway just below 100...

                I get 7.6 on one instance, but regularly get 8.2 in my trips to work and back.

                    That's about the best I've managed in my Bora V6 4Motion as well.

                    Average since I bought the car in August last year has been 12.9L/100km (as per the trip computer).
                    Nothing to see here...

                      town driving im usual up on 12+

                      but one hour of highway driving at 100-120 will see it get down to about 8-low 9's. thats with the usual, knock it down to 3rd and fly past for overtaking only to realise your doing 140 -150kph

                        I can show the entire history for my car. The long term average is currently 11.1L/100km with the best at about 8.5L/100km.

                        By the book it says at 90km/h you get 7.3, at 120km/h you get 8.9 and round town you get 12.5, which sounds about right from my driving around. I have seen the MFD say mid 7's while cruising at 90, but tend to be round town or on the freeway so never get that "best case".

                        Anyone who is getting more than 12.5 needs to look at their car to see what could be causing it, anyone who is getting less than 7's is either REALLY babying it and does a lot of cruising at 90 or is full of it

                        *Note all figures are for Manual, Auto will be about 5% or so worse.

                        If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

                          my best was 7.2 going from rowville to south melbourne. average for during the week is usually around 10-11 because of the short trips to work.

                          average for weekends is about 8-9 cos driving to my mates is about 40 km away on the freeways.

                          this reminds me i must use injector cleaner tomorrow.
