Well, it looks like I can see a trend appearing here.
Last time I filled the tank it took 57L to fill after driving 635km's (an 8.9L/100, with 8.2L/100 being displayed) A difference of 0.7L/100
This evening I refilled the tank again after just passing the "low fuel warning" stage.
It took 59L to refill after driving for 715km's (which is 8.2L/100 and the display was showing 7.5L/100)...again a difference of 0.7L/100
I'm pretty happy with this mileage (which was achieved running on Vortex 95) and about 65% FWY/35% CBD/urban driving.
I'd love to see what I could get if driving 80-90% FWY.
So it seems that the display is showing well short of the "actual" mileage figure, but I will continue to monitor the difference over several tanks of petrol to see if this 0.7L/100 difference remains consistent....as I suspect that the ECU isn't taking into account fuel being used when stopped/at idle....and again if I could do a decent HWY drive where there were minimal stops and constant speed it would be interesting to see if this difference dropped significantly.
Oh, and I shouldn't forget to mention just how nice it is to drive the Euro.
I actually look forward to driving to and from work each day. I am so happy with the car, it is simply fantastic
