How many free hours are they giving now? Last time it was 3 hours and after 6, its open all the time. Then its 2 hours.

I heard my friend told me now its like 1.5 or 1 hours already.....

I used to go there for movies when it was 3 hours.

its 2 hrs.

If u go for movies, u can ask them to give u 1 more hr free parking. So that makes up 3 hrs if u go for a movie. Well I know Bondi is. Not sure about burwood

I dunno... I pump up my tyres all the time after I fill her up with petrol

I'm a conservative driver - honest... never really rev above 3000 thesedays and cruise around 1500 - 2000

fill up half a tank everytime, last time i did about 190 km's on a tank which was few clicks till mid way

I've got exact half a tank of vortex now, usually drive by myself - light :P and also gave her new high flow lungs

i'll see how it goes

Measure by filling the tank to max, resetting your trip meter, drive til you feel like filling up, fill up to the max again and then divide the number of litres filled the 2nd time with the number of kms you drove.

When I did city/suburb driving, I got 10-10.5L/100km. The worst was when I was stuck in traffic jams 3 out of 5 days, I got 12.4L/100km.

When I did Sydney to Melb, I got 6.6L/100km but that was full cruise control all the way. With more throttle, my next Sydney to Melb trip brought me 7.5L/100km.

from my tax receipt yesterday:

filled up 54.12 litres and 610kms - so my consumption this week (city driving) was:
54.12/610 * 100 = 8.87l/100kms - is this correct?

^^Yup!

8.87L/100kms CITY DRIVING! wtf =.=

I'm starting to hit 13. . .

should probably keep in mind that the definition of 'city driving' is subjective... how many start/stops, distance driven, average speed, 5at/6mt, driving style, etc. i think it's quite difficult to compare two different cars, drivers or routes, especially for city/suburban driving.

i get 12-13L for city/suburban driving (5at) also. i think this seems to be inline with the official fuel consumption ratings in the UK accord brochure...
