Thanks Desiree, in metric your overall average is approx. 12L per 100kms. Not too bad. I will be doing a lot of city driving. I have noticed the turning circle in the brochure is a huge 11.8 Metres, how do you go with that? (I know you guys have wider streets than us Aussies).
regards

I have done the MDS indicator light mod so I know it was in the 4 cylinder mode. My overall average is about 19 MPG.
Stateside only the 300C comes with the 5.7. The 2.7 and 3.5 V6's go into the base, touring and limiteds.
So Aussie 300C, how goes it in Adelaide? My son-in-law is from there. My daughter, he, and (2) grandsons now live in Kinross, WA, about 20 klicks north of Perth. Been to Adelaide once for Christmas/New Year holiday. Nice and warm there in December. From talking with my daughter, the price of gas here had gotten nearly equal to yours after all conversions. It has gotten a bit cheaper since it peaked about a month ago, maybe 15%.
Planning to get over to WA in April '06. Will have to let my "C" sit for a couple of weeks.
