Pity I can't be as accurate preempting the Tattslotto results...  :whistler:

Surely the mapping must be different for 3.2L / 100 or all the interior removed?  Anyone here ever gone below 4's?

Close, at 4.1, but no cigar.
I can manage 3.6 for a short stretch of flat road before the lights stop me, but I don't rate that as valid. :D

Boy, Auto sucks! I think I got the hatch to 4.9 briefly doing a reset whilst on the highway cruising. Wagon is not even close to that which is real surprising but this is off the computer.

I got once 3.9L/100km. Drove ~300km  in the heavy midsummer traffic. Max speed was 80km/h and did not do a single overtake.

In Adelaide I had plenty of opportunity to cruise at ~53kph in 4th and ~70kph in 5th, without feeling pressured by a heavy traffic presence. These are Firty's economy sweet spots. :D

Melbourne is 5.6 territory. :blubber:

5.6 isn't bad around town.

I got a couple of Prius ubers that were sitting at 4.8. Of course the i40 can achieve that (on the open road  :whistler:)

On an 85kw crdi auto I only get 5.8 to 6.0 open road (80-100kmh). 7 to 8.5 around the city.

Jealous of those low figures!

I get an estimated 18l/100km. Estimated because the bigger tyres put my speedo out by aprox 10%. And im OK with that  :D
