I really envy your stats, Mike. After a month and a half of ownership, and diligently recording all consumption and travel data, I come up with 10.19 l/100 kms. actual calculation, while the board computer shows an average of 9.64 l/100 kms. I do realize that at 2500 kms (roughly) my engine has just barely been broken in.

I hope to see better consumption figures as I drive the car more. Also I have to take into account the awful traffic in and around Richmond and Vancouver. Lots of short trips as well.

Driving style: mild. No jack rabbit starts, and when I can, I try to baby the acceleration and anticipate traffic flow and red lights.

Above data is all city driving.

So far, from my last fill up two days ago, I am averaging my best stats so far at 8.5 l./100 kms.
