4.2 litres per 100km (67 mpg)

Had to pick the wife up at Gold Coast Airport (Coolangatta) last night at 8.30pm
From Beenleigh it is about 70kms and I had an hour and a half to get there straight down the M1
Almost no traffic on the motorway so I set cruise control at 85kph and just sat there steering
The 80kph wasn't a problem as I went through 4 lots of roadworks - didn't have to adjust cruise control
Watched the litres per 100 slowly drop and stabilse at 4.2 litres per 100
That's 67 mpg took photo with phone in the dark (when I got there)



On the trip home sat on 100kph, again on cruise control and it returned 4.7 liter per 100km - only 60 mpg
would expect to use more fuel as we were heading north which is "uphill"



Not bad for German engineering - even if it needs Test Defeating Software to do it...........LOL

By way of comparison, did the same trip, well almost - went just past the Airport with the caravan hooked up
at 100kph it used 10.5 litres per 100km

Got a problem with the Avatar as I have a new toy
