the only way you can get a decent run is if you drive from 1 servo w/ full tank & zero'd tripmeter then fill up at the next coming servo and check it out to calc. But still averages around 6-8L/100 no matter for highway driving.

There is no way you can check otherwise.

I realize that very well, I believe the lux version has an instant readout of consumption. I am asking WHAT ARE THE FIGURES FOR STEADY CRUISING at 90, 100, and 110kph.

When are you peeps gunna realise the trip computer is optimistic and you need to look at fuel going in and actual KM completed at fueling stage? sheesh

I repeat, I know what my overall consumption is on a trip as I ALLWAYS record litres put in and the oddometer reading. I record all this including cost per litre and put it on a spread sheet. I am asking for the cruise readings to get a comparison between the different speeds. I also know it will be optimistic, but it is the DIFFERENCES between them that I am interested in.

My fuel consumption is improving now I have the RBC. I dont know why. Maybe its leaning it out. Its enough to be noticeable. I cant believe how good my car is on fuel. Its astonishing considering how i drive..

My 2007 CL9 Euro Lux Manual is bone stock.

Fuel is BP Ultimate.

City I get 9.2-9.3 L/100 indicated on the trip computer, average speed usually records around 30-40kph.
Highway at steady 110 cruise I get 7.2-7.3 L/100 indicated on the trip computer. Cruising at 100 instead of 110, the lowest I've seen is 7.3. Hills seem to affect this figure more than the speed does, if I'm staying in 6th gear.

That's pretty good, how much on your odometer?

Errr... 6,700km... *looks embarrassed...*

And I drive like my grandmother... If I do give it a bit of stick once in a while, it pushes the city economy to 9.4-9.6.

And I don't do a start-stop daily commute, which is probably why I get a decent city economy.
