I get around 8.6L/100km all open road with car packed to the roof with kids and luggage. BP GT wagon, 2L turbo, 6 speed manual. Around 12L/100km in the city. Just normal driving, not hard on it. No reason why you shouldn't get similar.

That sounds about what I'd expect, slightly better than my '02 GTB. Best I've had is 8.7, and averaged 9.2 over a 2600km road trip while making pretty good time. Usually average 10-11ish with a mixture of cold start town driving and a few open road trips. I find around 10-12% difference between 95 and 98 too.

I only just got 400kms out of $120 of 98 fuel from BP

Mixture of open road driving and City 50/50

so that's about 13.5L/100km based on current pump prices. Seems heavy for mixed driving

I got around 10l/100kms on my Rex on mixed driving.

Newer cars should be more efficient.

My 2001 B4 Manual is getting 11L/100KM around Auckland and managed 8.6L/100Km last open road trip. My old Skyline use to do 15.8L/100Km around Auckalnd. The Subaru rocks!

I get 10-11l per 100k round town with the auto in sport all the time..... Which is 450k before the light is on

I drove it from hamiton to wellington which was 550k and still had quarter of a tank. Wife and kids in the car with heaps of stuff in the boot... some full throttle overtaking. Eco button on the auto. Seems like this car manages its fuel better... When yor caning it it,uses it and when you drive like a nana it takes luttle sips.

My old bg5 gtb just skulled the fuel regardless of your driving style. It used to get 480 to a tank on the open road and 380 round town. Absolute shithouse... But god I loved that car... I died a little when I traded it in

Update - haven't been looking at the fuel consumption readout for months but watched it today. So on the current tank, been totally city driving - short trips, stop-start rush hour, not even getting to 100kph. 13.4L/100... ouch. Oh well, lets see if I can get to 15!
