Hi guys,
I recently purchased a new Adventra SX6, it'll click over 1000km's this week.
My questions are:
Is 17l/100km for an average speed of 27km/h the expected fuel consumption? This is recorded mainly going to work which is quite stop/start. This weekend I'm taking it for a haul along the Great Ocean Road so I'll see how it goes on the open road.
At what kind of km's should the engine have loosened up and settle down?
My old VX would normally get about 450km to a tank (65 litres) around town, whereas this car is looking like it's heading for 400-430 on a 75 litre tank doing the same run as the VX.
I realise she's a fair bit heavier than the VX, but I wouldn't have expected this much of a difference. Or, am I just being impatient and should wait till the thing has had a chance to settle down?
Thanks guys,
Si
