to lay of the torque..

Mostly. :-))

Drove the car from Belmont 16's to north of Newcaste, 40 odd kilometers... and really tried to stay off the boost.. (first time EVER!!)

Trip Computer showing 4.1 L/phk.

Until now I thought the claimed 4.7 L/phk average was a fantasy

Fortunately, Mrs Blue and I work the averages nicely... she drives economically, I lay all over the loud pedal...  that's GOTTA be... Average !
