A figure that is up to date as of this morning is 33,749km on 2321.66 Litres for an all up average of 6.879L/100km. By the way, a return trip from Sydney - 1407kms in 15hours is not what i would call grandma driving....best recorded fuel consumption that trip was 5.8L/100km. No need to drive like grandma.... or grandpa for that matter......lol
    i think u misunderstand the term grandma driver

    ther are 2 ways of making ur car move

    u can do it with ur foot all the way to the floor, ie max load, ie max fuel consumption, my only style of driving unfortunatley

    the 2nd way, grandma style, is to apply minimum load, and only lightly press the accelarator, giving the best fuel consumption

    i get around 8.6L/100 kmz from my d17 7th gen civic, i do 70% city driving, and some freeway work, all thrashed, as i love to rev the manual, and im impatient, lol

    so what your saying is there are only 2 driving styles.........hooning or grandma driving..........

    Same as the comment about driving on secondary rural roads is the same as freeway driving......................so i guess that also means driving in country towns is no different to driving in the middle of Sydney.......oh well......we learn something new every day.......LMFAO

    lol, understand wat u want

    in my book, country driving, rural back raods watever u want to call them, is pretty much freeway driving

    and that explains ur very good fuel consumption

    take ur car thru shitloads of traffic everyday, and u will get pretty shitty fuel consumption

    esp since its an auto

    anyway, i was just justifying y u have such good fuel consumption compared to me
