I have a stock as a rock 2007 Euro manual and just did an economy test between the Southern Highlands (Mittagong) and Lake Macquarie just south of Newcastle. I used 95 fuel from Woolworths and drove via the M5, M2 and the F3 Freeways. On a 225 kilometre trip the trip computer read 5.9 litres per 100 kilometres for that trip. Pretty damn good. Nearly as good as a Hybrid but with 140 kilowatts when you need it. I am running Yokohama A Drive tyres at 34 PSI. I did not use cruise as it uses more fuel than driving manually.

You have to use RON95 or higher with Euro.
