Managed to achieve my best ever fuel consumption of 11.1L/100k (25.5 Imp mpg, 21.3 US mpg) on a run of 443k yesterday. Fog in the morning slowed me down and meant no a/c (or speeding tickets :p ).

My average after 15,500k remains 12.17L/100k and, for those obsessed by detail, my average fuel cost has been $0.98 cpl (have been getting Ultimate at under $0.95 recently )

For real timbo? I swear I have been getting 10l/100km on the freeway between here and sydney (north of there too) I'm driving up there on Xmas Eve, I'll make sure I do a proper measurement, but I swear I remember getting those figures even when I was driving back from the dealer... oh well, I'll let ya know in 3 weeks.

BTW, did you get my email about this Sunday?

I guess it could be that good just on the freeway, but my measure included, probably, 20% urban. It was more a reflection of the day, the weather and my subsequent driving style.
