I'm suprised that you get better economy on the track than you do around town.

mate i get 5.4 around town using your method (i never said strictly 'city cycle'), & 4.8 on a long run is not out of the question either

12l per 250kays or 13l/250 kays - not alot in it really.

also pretty sure these cars weigh about 1200kg or so - rego papers say tare is 1159kg (so does redbook) - certainly on the lower end of medium sized i would have thought


if you dont believe me look at redbook...

fuel Urban (l/100km) 7.1

Fuel Extra Urban (l/100km) 4.7

Fuel Combined (l/100km) 5.6

I'm thinking of buying a van to drive around in, the extra carrying capabilities would probably come in handy not to mention the anonimity that a white van provides especially late at night.

I'm not, it really doesn't like to go slow. At 60km/h it just surges along (and makes me look like a noob who doesn't know how to drive my car)

lol... My mate in Belgium was telling me the other day he got 3.48l /100 out of his 206.

He is a right green nut, so he was wrapped. He goes to the extents of pushing the clutch in and costing down hills though.....
