I must be toooo soft, lol...:headbonk: Only just over a week old. I filled up at Gosford before the Freeway, got to Sydney (8.8L) running around Sydney went up to 10.4L....now trip computer says average of 11.2L/100....Smile on Face, Priceless!!!!

Sydney to Gosford this morning - 14.4, about the best it's been
Only 1400ks on the clock though, and was not on the motorway.

11.8 on my regular commute to work

Only done 600km but it's been 13-14L/100km the whole time we've had it. Came right down to 12 yesterday after our drive through the mountains.

my V8 MT with a cat back, average 16+L/100K in city + suburb mixed.

330km on a full tank (~55-57L)

Had her for four days and done 600 k,s.
On a flat hwy trip was getting 9.4 about 100 k,s
Over all sitting at about 13 pretty happy considering.

Love driving her her.

Cheers Brett

You guys calculating those figures or just going on what the OBC says?

Yes, but, at least during break in, where the numbers were REALLY HIGH, I had to fill up more frequently, so I know it's _relatively_ correct

Still worth checking though.

Mine was around 10% optimistic and had to be adjusted right down (a long way down in comparison to the guy that worked it out in the thread I posted!).

Now it's only ever a maximum of 1MPG over actual usage, I just haven't been arsed to adjust it again.

I recently completed a 2600 mile trip round europe and managed 28.5MPG from my GT. Very impressed with that.

I'm just going off the OBD. Couldn't be arsed keeping a log really to do that.

All that work to find out it's worse than 19.2, man I'm better off not knowing haha

1100 k's up, avg 12.2 mostly highway and have kept rpm below 4500 while running in....well I've tried...

Nearly done 300km getting about 16l per 100km at the moment

Have done about 3300km. Each tank averaging about 12.5 / 12.6 (Was higher the first thousand k's) - getting about 450km between petrol stops, putting in about 56-59 litres. This is sitting in bumper to bumper M4 traffic to and from work every day - about 35km each way, which takes about an hour each way.

After 4 weeks of ownership and 1062 km, car indicates 12.6 i/100km and calculations show 12.88 l/100 km, so I'm pretty happy about that for a GT Auto.

Mine is drinking 98 octane like it's fine wine!

I've just ticked 700km and I'm halfway through my third tank and struggling to get it under 19 lph.

I've done one run down the Southern Expressway at 100 kmph and it loves that and it dropped the average, but for my usual drives through Adelaide suburbia, it's a battle to get it under 20 lph, and I don't think I'm driving it hard at all!

I have reset my on board trip computer after each tank, otherwise your country drives help lower the average and gives a false reading in town.

My wallet hopes that my 3,000km service will somehow improve it!

Cheers
