When i got it first and was nice to it on the stock tyres 7.5/100 was my open road.. the 275/65/18's MTs made the first significant dent in economy then even little things like removing the lower rear bumper and front winglets all made a bit of a drop. Also a kiwi so open roads do often involve driving mountain roads as a part of that. A friend thats got the 3.6 doing similar trips as me is about 14/100 plus petrol here is about $1 per litre dearer . He's driven mine a bit and is going to be changing to a diesel next year. Like everything depends where and how you drive to whats best for you.
