We did our first road trip on the queens birthday long weekend. Drove from Brisbane up to Gladstone, then to Rocky, back to Gladstone, before heading home.
Fuel light came on 9km south of Gympie at 1,123km.
Fuelled up at 1,125km at the Matilda servo, and put in 55.14L giving us 4.9L/100km.
very please with that. I've had 59L in it at one fill, so I think we could have easily gotten 1200km. During the drive up, I sat on all the speed limits + a little more, and at one point, did $1.40 for a few k's in an extended overtaking move. I took it a little easier on the way back, but still extremely pleased with the results.
Ordered a K&N which should arrive soon, so wondering if that may improve the economy an small increment more.
Cheers,
GM
