Too true re manually working it out. The figures I quoted for the other trips like hervey bay were all worked out by refilling at the end and doing the math. I will check when I next fill up how it compares to the reading (wont be able to fill at the same servo pump though).

The other thing I was going to mention is the day I picked up the car new I drove from the dealership to Toowoomba and back the next day. The car averaged 7.2l/100km (with a mid trip low of 6.9) with the air-con on. Now with 10000km on the clock I would expect the consumption to have improved.

Didn't quite expect it to be this good but who's complaining?
