I gave HEMI 57 another run in the country over the New Year weekend. Headed north up the Hume sitting on 111 Klm/hr up to Albury with the temperature showing 44 degrees C, then on up to the Southern Highlands in NSW. Two days later headed home and did a fill at Albury with the trip at 625 Klm, she took 70 Litres, which equals 11.2 litres/100Klm (~25 MPG (imperial not US)). Headed south on the Hume at 111 Klm/hr and she was showing 10.8 litres/100Klm, then I got on the Craigieburn bypass and settled on 100 Klm/hr. By the time I exited the Monash she was showing 10.2 litres/100Klm.

So it seems the Hemi is a lot more economical at 100 Klm/hr than 110. I now have 3000 Klms clocked up and she may still free up and get better as time goes on, based on other Forum member's experiences.
