I have had one country trip Goulburn to Sydney all freeway 250 km at speed 110 kmph, where I averaged 6.4. But Goulburn is at 1200 m elevation and Sydney on t5he coast, so it was mostly downhill :-). Normal city driving I generally average 13, and the main route I use is pretty congested with lots of stops and traffic lights. -- Regards, Peter Wilkins 9-5SE 2.3 Manual I get between 8 and 9 litres/100km in suburban driving. I travel around 100km round trip each day in medium traffic with many stops at lights etc. In the country I get between 6 and 7. You must be very heavy footed to only get 13? I don't drive conservately, but the worst I have got from a tank of fuel is 9.8! Regards Starman from Oz
