My Euro auto with leather interior and 5 year warranty we got it for WAY below $30k each.

That means that retail buyers heavily subsidise company car purchases. So not only do companies get car related tax deductions courtesy of the taxpayer but they also score big discounts on car purchases.

Ps: CU2 manual... Not as fun as you think/

Yeah i went and test drove a brand new CU2 manual the other day and was a bit dissapointed.. I'm still just keen to get back into a manual.. I have no idea why i got the auto.. was sucked in by the NAV which i've used about 5 times in total.

Fuel light came on in my current tank at 375km

What are your average fuel consumption figures on the car's trip computer? And what about the actual calculated average fuel consumption?

Something is definitely wrong there. I have a stock 07 auto and I get at least 500kms before the light comes on, no matter how I drive.

will keep it until the warranty expires.

We purchase 12 cars in one hit (close to $400,000 worth of sales in a couple of hours of negotiation) what's wrong with giving us a large discount. The sales rep can either accept or decline our offer.

It's always around the 14's on the trip computer. lowest it ever gets down to is in the 12's on the highway.

It has the consumption of a 6 cylinder and its a 4.. i know what i'd rather!!

Take it to the dealer for a check up.

wonder if we can organize a group-buy and each get a brand new CU2 for 25k driveaway

That is definately not normal. I have a MY12 Auto & last time i filled up was 23rd of december & have not left the suburbs of Hervey bay in that time. Trip cpmputer is indicating 8.3 with no trip in excess of 7km - that is the worst driving conditions available for fuel consumption.

i live in sydney inner city suburbs and yes 14l/100km is certainly possible during peak hour times. i dont think traffic at hervey bay at its worst is near as bad as sydney peak hour traffic. can sometimes take an hour for a 10km trip into the city @ peak.
