Well guys here's the update. Filled up Saturday night at $1.18. Took 40.89 litres and did in total 589km's. No kidding, if required next time I'll take shots of trip computer.

That is all city commute to and from work in Melbourne CBD.

I drive Auto FD1 VTI-L (with full tank of fuel dont know how many l, i would just fill it until the stop clicking).
Get at least 500km (Full city drving - Gold Coast - Burleigh Head (Gold Coast highway only not dring on M1) I should probably get 600 or even 650 if only drive Gold Coast - Burleigh Heads Collagata by M1 only)
You might have a hard foot :P, I stop - start withfrom 3 to 4rpm some time even 5rpm)

I do usually stop & start with at least 2.8, rpm upwards. some how just for a but fun with 5rpm.
I only use BP Ultimate whenever possible or RON 98 from Caltex due to discound card 4c/l

Mine is usually 2.5 to 3.5k RPM. I think it's just reading the traffic and not accelerating heaps off the lights and then have to brake for slowing traffic or little jams..
