4 week / 1300km old beast, cruising for 30km along the beach up the Noosa North shore yesterday it dropped to 11.6L/100km. Mind you, it was a very low tide and much smoother than the freeway and since its max 80km/h it was sitting pretty much in its element for fuel economy. Tyres were low though as had dropped them to 22psi before I hit the beach.
Averaged 11.9 for the whole trip, including the run up and back on the main beach stuffing around on Rainbow Beach for a while on nice soft sand, and then a trip back along the Freshawater track (bout 18km from memory of first and second gear).
Round town averages 11.9 to 12.1. 100km/hr Highway travel with tail wind it dropped to 9.8, travelling back the same road 1/2 later at the same speed (now with headwind) was at 10.9.... !!
I should add that I reset the gauge every time I fill up (too used to my work car that resets automatically if not being driven for more then 4 hours)
