In the 3 years I had my 08 CU2 Auto the average over 40,000km was 7.1, best recorded was 6.23. It will be interesting to see how the MY12 compares over time. I mostly used Vortex 95.

average 8.3-8.4L per 100Km. Mixed driving, mixed road. CL9
Wow, i got the same car, driving harder compare to you (sounds to me anyway), and i get 630 before the light comes on... Why such a huge difference? hmmQuote:

so far so good for fuel economy - better than i expected.
1. First Full fillup was Caltex Vortex 95 and got 640km when the reserve light comes on - then filled up, average 7.2lt/100km 70% Freeway 30% Urban
2. filled BP ultimate - improved economy again down to 6.8lt/100km so far with 540km and gauge is saying there is a little more than 1/3 of a tank left. so far so good! again same ratio freeway/urban.
on 1 run Monash Freeway and Eastlink - about 30km distance i managed to have it down to 5.2lt/100km on that stretch which is amazing!
the car is now on 132xxx, service done, installed an Injen CAI, using BP Ultimate and I'm getting close to 600kms per tank.so averaging about 9.1L/100kmsQuote:

Just elaborating on my above post. So i ended up with 6.9ltr/100km which im very impressed with...fuel light came on at 736km and ran it to 769km and refuelled. Amazing numbers i must say - definitely a far cry compared to my previous car ('99 Mitsubishi Magna) which ran between 9.5-10ltr/100km.Quote:
