Need to wash my 3.0d after 2,500kms of hard road trip, including two ferry crossings of NZ's Cook Straight. It never missed a beat in the whole trip and returned some stunning economy results...
 (*edit* - that's 35.6mpg (US) or 42.8mpg (UK) for those of you not familiar with L/100km.) I always reset the consumption #1 calculation and the trip counter when I refuel (to a full tank), so if you add the trip to the range calculation, you get an idea of just how far these things can go on a tank at highway speeds...  I reckon 1,400km on a full tank is just about possible!!

I'd get better mileage from here to there. Of course the X would be on a RORO and not running
 I don't even care about my mileage over here anymore just as long as I go fast and don't use the Middle Eastern "instant stop" feature (aka immovable object) that seems to be a favorite option....  Sent from my SM-A730F using Tapatalk

 I wish that fuel was cheap here - we are paying near NZ$10 per US gallon for premium grade petrol - hence owning a 3.0d!!
