Hmmmm, i am still a little concerned and think there may be a mapping problem in some of the cars (possibly). On the long drive back form adelaide where i managed around 6.9/100 which was great (all highway k's).

I am now getting nowhere near the average and i am down the very end of the economy scale. My last 1.5 tanks i averaged 10.2 which was all city driving, but babying the first half a tank.

I have put in a new tank and am down to 9.0, but i have to REALLY push to get this i.e using a downhill for more speed to climb the next hill etc. If i drive how i would normally drive i can only get around 10.3.

I have an auto GTS.
