I have 12,000 k's on mine to date. The TC has never been reset in that time, average is sitting on 10.1 lts/100 at an average speed of 43kph. This is the only way to really judge your fuel usage. K's per tank is an awful measurement and can vary significantly based on the roads you use, traffic, driving style, mood and the list goes on. Do an average over at least 5,000 k's and compare that to your average speed this will give you a true total of how much fuel your are using. Remember running the AC with the climate control will also knock your fuel economy around.
Cheers. |

After 8000kms, the computer read out varies between 8.8 and 8.7 depending on the type of trip most recently undertaken.
I travel the M4 GWH to Blue Mountains route mostly so the read out goes up and down depending on my direction of travel. I recently did a fair bit of local driving which again pushed the numbers up. Still better than the old BA, and more comfortable.

Still running mine in (I haven't clocked up 1000 k's yet), but it seems to be around 12-13 around the city, and 8-9 on the freeway. When it loosens up, I should expect it to drop by about 1L/100km.
