    Ok.....my car is a 07 auto turbo diesel landcruiser and for $50.00 I get 270 kms out of it. I worked that out at about 12.35 litres per 100kms - providing I've done the maths right That's not bad I think, especially seeing I did all my driving around town this week. I'm going to try again on our next long trip and afterwards as well. As BW's dad says the cars do run better and more efficiently for a few weeks after one. I am interested to see how much better it could be

    Did our first cruise around the countryside in the new car yesterday (2010 Outlander) and wow...averaged 9.2L/100km and travelled 330km on half a tank according to the trip display (it has avg fuel consumption, range to empty and distance travelled).

    Mind you, this was primarily highway driving sitting on cruise control at 110km/hr, but there was a few hills and more than a couple of instances of either DH or I putting our foot down to overtake road trains and caravans.
