Sydney peak hour must be nothing. My usual is 10.6L/100km on BP Ultimate (was 11.8 with V-Power).

Generally find it hard to get out of 2nd for the majority of the trip. Also my car is standard (for now). If I mod mine and get 10.6 ave I'd be happy

I know of this guy with a Polo that used to average 6.9L at 110kph but when doing 120kph the car averages 5.6L on a flat bit of highway. *on a closed private road and all that bs*

My fuel consumption went down slightly after modding it. Was over 12 (back when I was using V-Power.

Best I have done was about 530km, but usually get about 380 to 450 with normal driving to and from work, and scooting around town. Got 410km out of my last tanks, and that was with 6 runs at the drags last friday night.

Yeah it's odd. On my morning run from Norman Park to Capalaba for a bit of fun I test my economy. I'll average 7.7 - 6.9 depending on lights and that's trying - 1st to 3rd to 5th and that sort of thing. Then on the way home (same route) I'll just drive it with a bit of verve and sometimes the economy is still around 7.7/7.8.
