I drove to Abbotsford airport today, 175 Km return, and the trip consumption was 8.4 liters which was very good considering the trip was in a driving rain storm and we had four people and some luggage. I tend to believe the trip computer is probably very accurate because MB does not want litigation and a black eye ( think Mazda and HP claims.).
Hi BeeClass

8.4 to Abbotsford in yesterday's storm is great, but we should never refer to bad weather happening in B.C. We have a well deserved reputation as a garden of eden AKA Hollywood North and we don't want to scare away tourists with pockets full of cash.

What kind of average speed are you getting??

Enjoying the Pineapple express from Hawaii. (The proper term for yesterdays weather)
