6.5 all highway in a manual is way to much. The update worked for my wifes. Still doing under 5L/100 on good highways but I'm not doing 110, 100 indicated only which is really about 95 on a gps

Usually I'd sit on 90 on my local roads but the speed limit was 110km/h on the hume and I didn't want to hold up anyone so I kept to the limit. I just got my car done for the 3000km service today, they looked for the hose problem which wasnt on my car, did the service and bedded in my brakes for me so they don't do the annoying barely any stopping power, then to full stopping power thing on me anymore. I also asked if they had a job for me and they said no

Thumbs up for Sunford in Sunbury.

At an indicated 100kmh I averaged 5.2ltrs out of ours including 30kms of city driving as well over 500kms one way with air con on.

With about 5,000kms on car.

6.1-2 was avg at 110 with air con going on way back though
