or 8.7 litres per 100

at $1.469 AUD per litre i can happily live with that

still loving this car
That's pretty close to what I get which is an average of 8.8 l/100km combined h/w and city traffic (calculated).
I get around 7.6 l/100km average sitting @ 100 km/h on the freeway.

BTW, are these figures from your trip computer or calculated ?
I find the trip computer in mine very optimistic at between 10-15% out, not sure if these can be calibrated any better like you can on some cars.
