Well,

I took another car to the Gong, but took the FTO up the coast... Most of the way up the A/C was on, and all the way back it was on .... (My missus can't stand the heat ... lol ...)

I am currently on E for enough (no petrol light on yet), and I think I have hit just under 500k's .... About 480 off memory ... So, it seems as if the fuel economy is not as good as some ... Oh well ... Still it is better fuel economy then what I was getting in my commonwhore ... And I think slightly better then my Cressida... So, I am happy with that ... lol ...

I do mostly suburban driving to and from work. (about 15 k's each way) So no long runs on the highway, and the occasional push into mivec, but I consistently get 550-600k's from a tank. I'd love to see what I get on the highway. Might have to go for a long (Non-cruise thru the hills) drive one day... :twisted:

Its Adelaide though, not Sydney. The 15k's to work, I go thru only half a dozen traffic lights, and no peak hour traffic jams lol. To be honest, I dont miss Sydney traffic one bit :P , but even when I was in Sydney, driving from Castle hill to Richmond and back every day, I still got 550 ish to a tank. Think I got a sweet deal when I bought my car.
