[Focii]

I have just come back from a trip down to Ulladulla (from NW Sydney) the first really long trip in the car. It was a great drive and I'm just getting more and more impressed with the car.

Fuel consumption wise, I got 5.8L\100 on the way down (conservative with the throttle and no air con). Was siting right on speed limits.

On the way back air con was off most of the way, and was a bit more throttle happy and got 6.5L\100 (pushing my luck with speed limits on the dual carriage ways ;)

There were two people in the car with two suit cases and food supplies (a full boot and partial back seat), so I'm pretty impressed.

The car does seem to love the open road a lot more than the city fuel consumption wise, especially with the automatic.
