Hi All. Finally got the chance to take the beast for a good drive over XMas/New Year and was pretty amazed with the economy I was getting considering less than 500km on the clock when I left. On 95Ron fuel from Melbourne to Echuca with a full load of kids, bike, pram, cot, food and associated other stuff (all in the boot by the way) I returned a pretty good 12.1 L/100 based on trip computer and an amazing 11.8L/100 at the pump. Had the cruise set at about 105km/hr for most of the trip with a few splurts for overtaking.

Trip south down the coast over NYE returned slightly worse economy (13.5l/100) which I attribute to 1.5 hours sitting in traffic going absolutely nowhere...but a pretty amazing result all the same.
