Accordign to my trip computer, I get about 14-ish l/100km around town (inner city - no freeways) - was getting 17.5 on an 8km start-stop commute, about 8-9 l/100km on the freeway.

Interestingly, adding a trailer made freeway consumption nearly double (not a very aerodynamic trailer) but the city consumption went up by about 15%. Well, there ya go.

Yeah i got same car as u, i get around 14.5l/100km.. i have been since i had it for the last week or so.. has been getting a bit of flogging on the occasion. happy with it so far. If i can get it down to around 12 i'd be stoked. Just running some injector cleaning stuff through it at the moment which i picked up from super cheap. if it works or not i dont no.
