Everything else is irrelevant, where do you get a wife who fuels your vehicle for you? Did she use her own money too? LOL. I don't think my wife has put fuel in any of our vehicles for at least 10 years. But then I don't know how the iron works.

Fitted 265/70's and replaced the FPR ... averaging 11L/100km (used to be 12L/100km on 255/70's)

Towing the KK averaging 13.5L/100km .... but early days as we've only done about 2000km with the KK in tow ... headed off to outback NSW in a few weeks .... see how it does then with about a 4000km round trip.

My Valente gets that on the highway. My wife gets 8.4 in the Valente on the highway. Same trip different parts of the day.
I'll fill up the D@a in the next few days and find out how many litres it needed to cover the 7700 odd kms traveled.

I guess it might be possible in a Manual while keeping the speed under 80 on flat ground.

Best I got was 10.2L/100km with a trailer on across the Barkley Highway.

Happy Days

Best I ever got was 9.03L/100km & 9.06L/100km .... All open highway at reduced speed.

... yawn ... are we there yet ? are we there yet ? are we there yet ? are we there yet ? are we there yet ? are we there yet ? .....

I've just got 10.5L/100km mainly suburban and short trips. about 240km freeway but if you know the Monash or the ring road it ain't that free flowing.
I'm happy with that, better than the Tarago
