Skinatty, I too had this experience 7Lt/100Km - at both 100 & 110 Kmh -going downhill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To get this sort of economy you must be driving very, very slowly.
I kinda cheated with that figure cause I press the reset button while doing 80km/h but it's a legitimate figure that comes up, whether these electronic gizmos can be believed or not. I also get a clear run to work with hardly any traffic lights so it all helps the fuel economy.

Also an update on my wagon. Had the flex plate replaced (not the flywheel) and had a second hand one put in for $1500, brand new is $1700. Certainly not a part that should need replacing. My turbo pipe cracked aswell but was replaced under warranty. Still gave me a shock when it made a loud bang when it let go, along with the cloud of black smoke that followed me home.
