    Hopefully not someone from this forum.

    At least your vendor had the morals to abide by the sale.

    My experience is 11-12l/100km or 650 - 725 from the 80l. The fuel gauge problem is likely to be the instrument earth (look for a stack of earth wires under one of the gauge mounting nuts - the nut will be loose - tighten it), but could be anywhere.

    i re-fuel every 400-450km to be safe, and it takes 55-60L. i found the fuel gauge works exponentially. The first half of the tank goes slow, then the seccond just dissapears. I'm running massive tyres and a fueled up turbo too, which doesn't help.
