I agree. And then when someone does fix a problem they will never report back and explain what it was and why!! Why do we bother sometimes.

I do basically 95% city driving and am on 14.2L/100km by the trip computer.

Never heard a truer word spoken. Several times now I have seen people shocked and amazed a I6 will only return 15-18l/100km city driving. As far as I'm concerned, as an example, you can't include sitting on Windsor Road from Baulkham Hills to Windsor getting stopped at 3 lights on the way as city driving.

I also don't think 16l/100km is all that bad. That's 375km a tank. Thats what I got in my EB with 80% city driving.
